Its a perfect time for them and the corn and the way you made it perfect. Its great for the summertime, its good to bring to picnics. When youre cooking it, be careful of the cooking times because every ingredient is a little bit different. We start off with the chopped asparagus. Once it starts getting soft, we add the bell peppers. The corn we boiled first, just for a little bit and we put it in here off the ear. But you want the sugars to come out and caramelize, but you dont want them to become starched. Now we add key lime, this is going to be the base of the salad. And to give the key lime a little bit of flavor on its own, use a little bit of vegetable sauce and water. Thats a great idea. That way it has a little bit of flavor before you put it in there, its not so bland and that makes it very healthy. Look at this, hot or cold or anytime, great dish. Im going to add a little red pepper on top. She gets upset about this all the time, but you know what . Im going to do that. Looks good.

And those temperatures are going to stay above average the rest of the work week. So heres a flashback from the 80s. How much time did you spend trying to solve a rubiks cube . I didnt spend very much time. Its annoying. I just say put it away. Apparently theres no need to put that much work into it anymore. As alonchoap reports, one 9 yearold built a robot who solves the cube for him. Reporter weve all been there, burning hours trying to get all those colors on the same side, but this was easy, right . Very difficult. It took about 500 pieces. Reporter i stand corrected. 9yearold noah got this lego kit from santa, so he decided to build this, a lego robot that solves rubiks cubes. This robotic arm absolutely make this is sensor go out over the cube, scans it. This one down here turns the table and this one twists his arm. Reporter got all that . I dont either. But noah does. He adds, though, there were a few glitches. We thought wed fried the battery. I put this server motor on backwards. I couldnt figure out how to put his brain on because its strapped on with two straps. Reporter meaning . You name it. Reporter sure others have built similar devices, but this it one is pretty unique, and with a little help from dad, it was unlocking the mystery in no time. It took 42 moves and two minutes and 23. 4 seconds. Reporter but its kind of fragile. See this . Thats an ultrasonic sensor, and when its plugged into the wrong port, disaster can happen. Reporter as for the Old Fashioned way of solving it . I havent tried to solve one yet. The next thing up for noah is a Robotics Team competition in november and then i guess changing the world after that. Yeah. What is this kid going to do when hes older . Google is probably calling him right now. Impressive. Late show with Stephen Colbert is nearly here, kicking off on tuesday here on kpix. We sat down with him in l. A.
