...exactly the quaint little ice cream cranks I’d envisioned. Tosc’s uses two “White Mountains” and one “Emery Thompson.” The White Mountains are large green metal barrels, each holding a smaller eight-quart tub in a mixture of ice and salt. The ice cream mix is poured into the tub and rotated for half an hour; the results are soft-serve. Mix-ins are added and the resulting mess is flash-frozen overnight to achieve standard texture...
...confines house an open kitchen and medium-sized bar with televisions, which seems a nice place to grab a quick drink before your movie. Along with a very solid collection of New England and Old England (try the Fuller’s) beers, the Blue Room amusingly offers a quart of Budweiser ($6.25), which they will bring to your table in the same chilled marble presentation as a bottle of white wine. You have to admire a place that offers sweetbreads and squab but can still artfully serve 32 ounces of pure mediocre American beer. Specialty drinks include Nick?...

The Blue Room’s sparse brick walls offer only bizarre Betsy Cullen photographs for distraction, so if you come, bring your A-game, order a quart of Budweiser and prepare for an interesting, if uneven, culinary jaunt around the world. A few destinations may not be worth the effort, but at least you are out of Harvard Square, somewhere...

Well, they might have been, but they were right about conserving water. "It does help to put bricks or a quart jug filled with gravel, for example, into the toilet tank," says Swistock. "A heavy item like that displaces a quart or more of water - and that's one less quart of water the toilet needs to refill itself." Once you've mastered water displacement, try another, even more challenging conservation...
...knives of a sadist surgeon. Every line parades its cutting cleverness, exposes character in the same harsh light the movie uses to third-degree the actors' faces, and, often, is paraphrased later for a residual kick. (The movie's dialogue structure couldn't be tighter if you poured a quart of scotch down its throat.) The 20-year gag about the playwright was that he had sold out, gone soft: "Odets, where is thy sting?" Well, it's here...
