SUMMER CHICKEN SALAD Inspired by FoodNetwork.com
Ingredients
GOOD CHEER Beer lovers, rejoice! Idaho is the world’s largest hop producer, and more and more people are taking advantage of our agricultural bounty by opening breweries in the Treasure Valley. Share a few of these treasures with visiting family members and their only question will be “How did we not come here sooner?” 1. Place chicken in a large plastic bag and pound with a mallet to flatten to 1/4-inch thickness. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. 2. Heat grill, then grill chicken on both sides for about 4 minutes per side; set aside to cool before slicing. 3. Grill corn until the kernels begin browning, turning regularly for even cooking. Use a knife to shave the kernels off. 4. In a bowl, mix all dressing ingredients until combined. 5. In a large bowl, combine corn, dill, celery, and onions, then stir in chicken and top with dressing and blueberries as desired. 6. Separate the head of butter lettuce into“cups”to fill with salad and enjoy! Directions

THE FLIP SIDE OF FLUORIDE
Did you know that too much fluoride can be a bad thing?
Dental fluorosis is a condition that results from excessive fluoride intake during the early years of tooth development, typically under the age of 8. When children consume too much fluoride while their permanent teeth are forming under the gums, it can lead to changes in the appearance of the tooth enamel. The condition varies in appearance, from mild, barely noticeable white specks or streaks on the teeth, to severe cases characterized by brown markings and a rough, pitted surface, which can be more aesthetically concerning and might also feel rough.
According to Guinness World Records, the world's largest guitar is huge! It measures 43.5 inches in length, 16 feet wide, and weighs a whopping 2,244 pounds! Designed to be proportionate to a regular-sized Gibson Flying V, this massive guitar isn’t just for show — it's completely playable (although it certainly doesn’t sound as great as a normal guitar). Every detail was meticulously scaled up to maintain the integrity of its design and function. Because the strings are massive in size, strumming them produces a deep, resonant sound that echoes its massive size. This guitar is often used as an educational tool to teach about sound waves and frequency — how cool?!
