High-flavor cooking emphasized
Program recipes show benefits of
Butter 120 Phenomenon
The new “ Butter at its Best” bro
chure from Land O ’ Lakes is a tree,
16-page collection of high-flavor
receipts and cooking tips that show
off the “ Butter 120 Phenomenon” -
- how butter, even just a pat, can
enhance the flavor of the foods you
cook.
"When you cook with butter, the
natural flavors come alive, releasing
and combining with other ingredi
ents to produce rich, vibrant tastes,
says Lydia Botham, director of the
Land O ’ Lakes Test Kitchens & Con
sumer Affairs. "But no one knows
how butter’s 120 flavor components
combine to do this; it’s a natural
wonder we call the Butter 120 Phe
nomenon.”
Sauteing meats and vegetables
draws out natural flavors in meals
like zesty Chicken with Iropical
Salasa Saute’ . Caramelizing foods
creates rich, sweet tastes, as in the
pork with Gingered Caramelized
Onions and Mushrooms recipe. But
ter brings out the creamy elegance of
sauces and soups, such as Creamy
C h icke n and O rzo soup, and
Amaretto Chocolate Sauce. Com
bined with other ingredients, butter
adds more flavor, from a light, re
freshing Lemon Cilantro Butter to
the roasted taste of Maple Toasted
Onion butter.
The brochure also has an easy-to-
read Land O Lakes Butter family
reference chart tor home cooks. In
formation on the attributes and ben
efits of using each different type of
butter aids consumers in selecting
the right product for their recipe
needs.
Storage tips and measurement
conversions included in the chart
offer helpful kitchen guidance.

Scientist argue universe placement
Scientistsdon’t know which end
is up anymore.
Just a few days after a pair of
physicists claimed to have found
an "up” and a "down” to the uni
verse, their colleagues may have
found an analytical flaw that could
restore some degree of chaos to the
cosmos.
Monday’s issue of Physical Re
view Letters contained a paper by
Borge Nodland of the University of
Rochester and John Ralston of the
University of Kansas, who reported
a subtle pattern in the radio waves
coming from distant galaxies. Ra
dio signals coming from one direc
tion - the constellation Sextans -
appeared ever so slightly different
from the ones originating 90 de
grees away in the sky.
“That indicates that not all di
rections are equal, Nodland said
in an interview last week.
If that’s true, then physicists have
a lot of explaining to do Their basic
laws rely on the assumption that the
universe looks more or less the same
no matter which direction you’re
facing.
Such a find would have profound
implications, requiring the existence
o f hitherto unknown particles,
changes in the laws of electromag
netism or some other unsavory physi
cal explanation
To the rescue come Daniel
Eisenstein and Emory Bunn, two of
many researchers who have chal
lenged their colleagues’ bold as
sumption.
Bunn, a professor at Bates C o l
lege in Lew iston, Maine, and
Eisenstein, a researcher at the Insti
tute for Advanced Study in Princeton,
N .J., charge that Nodland and
Ralston made one incorrect assump
tion in their analysis.
THOMASON'S
Nodland and Ralston looked at
polarized radio waves, which os
cillate in only one direction. That
direction at the moment when the
light starts its journey from one of
those distant galaxies is very im
portant to the subsequent analysis
And Eisenstein and Bunn claim
Nodland and Ralston didn’t cor
rectly take this into account.
When you correct for that error,
the evidence of directionality in the
universe diminishes and probably
disappears completely, Eisenstein
and Bunn said.
Ralston insisted that he and
Nodland did indeed account for the
polarization direction correctly.
And besides, he argued, such a
mistake would only intensify the
directional signal they detected.
“ It’s not something we missed,
Ralston said. "These guys seem to
have drawn a very rash deduction.
