Simple Kitchen Organization Tips

February 4, 2014 10:46 am

Kitchens are often cluttered with pots and pans, spices, snacks and leftovers. But these brilliant tips from handy home websites will help you organize your kitchen at The Augusta!

Try a Lazy Susan
These revolving trays are helpful anywhere that clutter normally takes over, including spice shelves, snack cabinets and even the refrigerator.

Store items by frequency of use
In cabinets and drawers, pull things that you use every day to the front or put them on the lowest shelves, and leave the rest for the hard-to-reach places.

File plastic containers
Rather than stacking the lids of plastic leftover containers in a messy pile, file them in a drawer like you would papers.

Get a chalkboard
It can serve as a fun grocery list, silly message board or even a calendar for the whole family.

Place a wire shelf in the fridge
Add more storage in cramped refrigerators with elevated wire shelving.

The Pass: Visit the Chef’s Table

January 28, 2014 10:42 am

The Pass seeks to create an experience where patrons feel they’re dining at the chef’s own table. Expertly attentive service, impeccable food and a casually elegant atmosphere have earned them kudos from happy diners. Pass through the secret entrance and prepare to be wowed by a chef’s tasting menu with 5 to 8 courses, with or without wine or cocktail pairings. You can call ahead or go online to find out the changing menu, or be surprised by the marathon of delectable delights presented to you. Courses might include Ham & Eggs, which is egg custard served in a can of caviar, layered with capers, salt, spices, & black caviar. By all accounts it’s a little bit of heaven in your mouth. Dinner is by reservation only.

Not far from The Augusta, it's open Tuesday through Saturday.

Can You Solve These Math Problems?

January 21, 2014 12:02 pm

Enjoy working out a math problem proof? Can you solve the following math problems?

If so, congratulations! The following problems have not yet been solved by anybody else. Since they're so challenging, mathemeticians have even established a million dollar prize for solving one of the "Millenium Prize Problems," including the first of these three problems:

Reimann Hypothesis
The Reimann Hypothesis forms the basis of many other important mathematical conjectures, including important work related to the distribution of prime numbers presented by prime number theorem. Yet the Reimann Hypothesis itself remains unsolved.

Goldbach's Conjecture
Goldbach's Conjecture states something seemingly obvious: "every even integer greater than 2 can be expressed as the sum of two primes." But although it's been demonstrated in practice for some very, very large integers, Goldbach's Conjecture has not yet been proven to be true for all integers above two.

Odd Perfect Numbers
Perfect numbers? In number theory, perfect numbers are positive integers that are equal to the sum total of all their positive divisors excluding the number itself. For instance, 6 is a perfect number because its divisors are 1, 2, and 3 and those numbers add up to 6. Although perfect numbers were first discovered hundreds of years ago, mathemeticians have yet to prove whether or not there are any odd perfect numbers.
