C-isms

Mom (in the AM, before breakfast): "Sweater? It is cold?" C: "No. I want a blanket." C wraps around herself, shuffles around and says: "You have done well young Padawan, you have done well." 9/8/12
C: "A great teacher would remove the word 'impossible' from the classroom dictionaries." [Why?] "Because nothing is impossible if you set your mind to it."
Mom, lost in a park near their house, "I can't find a trail." C: "Lets blaze one!"
C: "Steph-anne Hawkins is not as smart as Einstein because Albert Einstein could do quantum physics and quantum mechanics in his head, while Steph-anne Hawkins, with all due respect, can only do physics. No offense to Steph-anne Hawkins, partially because he is the smartest man alive." Mom (in all seriousness, and remember that she is a regular reader of Scientific American): "What is quantum mechanics?" C: "It is how particles move." 9/26/11

The Domino

Posted by Leigh Anne Miller

We watched the movie Thunderball one night in the Maldives and fell asleep just as James Bond saved the world. The next evening we had dinner at the island's Italian restaurant and saw this on the drinks menu: THE DOMINO. LA has to try it. It was just as good as Domino Derval -- and from 15,000 miles away, we felt the Jamaican vibe. How to do it, from the Four Seasons bartender:

60 ml Jamaican rum
"A little" simple syrup (40 ml?)
1 whole lemon
1 tsp vanilla extract
Soda water
Crushed ice

Wash the lemon carefully and cut into quarters. Muddle in a tall glass with the simple syrup. Add ice, rum and vanilla and shake vigorously. Add soda water to top off.
