1 Make an Explosion“火山”噴發

Most people who have been around on the Internet for at least a few years will be familiar with the diet-coke-Mentos volcano. The idea is that you drop a Mentos into a bottle of coke and the chemical reaction causes the coke to spurt for miles (not literally of course). The video clip above shows a great example of this fun use for coke. Why not buy a bunch of bottles this weekend and see if you can do better than the efforts shown above?

大部分在網上混了幾年的人對可樂—曼坨珠火山可能并不陌生。它就是將一顆曼坨珠糖丟到一瓶可樂中，所引起的化學反應能使可樂噴出數英里高（當然有點夸張）。【譯者注：網上查得，噴出高度可超過一米！】上面的視頻剪輯展示了可樂這一有趣的玩法。這個周末為什么不多買幾瓶，看一下您能否比上面視頻中做的更好？

CHICKEN COKE-COLA 可樂雞塊

4 to 6 pieces chicken filets 4至6塊雞塊
1 pkg. scallions 一捆蔥
2 garlic cloves 兩瓣蒜
1/2 tsp. thyme 半茶匙百里香
3 tbsp. oil (olive oil) 3湯匙油（橄欖油）
1 oz. Coke-Cola 一盎司可口可樂

Season the chicken with salt, garlic and scallions. Leave it in refrigerator overnight. Next day, put the oil in the pan and heat it until the oil is hot. Put the chicken in the pan. When it's brownish on one side turn it to the other side. Then throw in the garlic and scallions and sprinkle the thyme over the chicken. When it is brownish on that side then pour the Coke-Cola over the chicken and keep the flame high until the coke is evaporated.

用食鹽、大蒜、蔥給雞塊調味。然后在冰箱里放一夜。第二天，在平底鍋中倒入油，然后將油加熱。再將雞塊倒入鍋中。待其一面變為褐色后翻換另一面。然后放入蒜和蔥，并在雞塊上撒上百里香。待這面也變為褐色后倒入可口可樂，然后用大火燉之，直至可樂蒸發完。

Pierce each piece of chicken with the fork. Press it and move it around the pan in order to absorb the sugar. Cover the pan and leave it covered for 5-8 minutes after you turn off the stove. Larger pieces may need 2 or 3 more minutes of cooking. To be served over pasta or rice.

用叉子將雞塊刺破，按著在鍋中來回移動以吸收糖分。關掉爐火后，蓋上蓋子悶5—8分鐘，大塊的可能多需要兩三分鐘。最后放在意大利面或米飯上，香甜美味，不可阻擋……
