Obey this tiki
 

Obey this tiki

Each week, Charlie White and Stephen Schleicher talk about... well, digital stuff.  Many of their conversations cover home electronics (and much of it home theater stuff).  At the end of their podcast, there's a tagline "Obey the tiki" - which I thought of when I saw the work of Hawaiian sculptor, Henrik Van Ryzin.

check out these works of art; apparently you can drink from them too...

Balut is not cool, but Zimmern is
 

Balut is not cool, but Zimmern is

I love a bunch of crazy food dishes - but I just can't hang with balut.  It may have been about 2 years ago that my friends and I were talking about it.  Gilbert said his dad used to eat it; with a beer - as a snack. 

That week, one of the other artists brought it to the studio for us to try.  Gib said he wouldn't eat it.  I was gonna try, but I couldn't get past the smell of it - - smelled like the chicken/duck barn we had growing up.  Others tried it (briefly)...  then last year - a guy comes on TV with a show about all kinds of wild stuff to eat.

Andrew Zimmern is a gastronomical superhero.

This year, his show - BIZARRE FOODS - just got a cool new animated intro (although I liked the tentacles of S1: see title by Motion504). http://www.travelchannel.com/TV_Shows/Bizarre_Foods

You can get the whole first season on DVD now!!  (And apparently there's a book coming)
http://www.amazon.com/Bizarre-Foods-Andrew-Zimmern-Collection/dp/B000X73NFE

Check out Chef Zimmern's show on The Travel Channel, and read his blog:

How can all this crazy food make you hungry? it just does.... mmmm jellied moose nose.  Plus beautiful video footage of the locations.  Hope this comes out in HD soon.  Although S1 was probably shot SD.

Apple Pro Training Final Cut Studio DVD tutorial: Review

The Apple Pro Training Final Cut Studio DVD tutorial, that comes with in the FCS2 box.

Having watched the DVD, I have found it worthwhile watching, but I wouldn't go as far as calling it a tutorial DVD.

Don't Do Drugs : Do Pancakes

It'll probably be a little difficult to come up with breakfast this way, unless you're cooking for Ralph.

Oh yeah - Veal Parm
 

Oh yeah - Veal Parm

On the west coast, you can tell when someone's from back east when they ask if you want "a slice" or "a pie".  A girl in a Washington pizzeria told me they didn't make pies once.  :)  It's good to be back in NY where they know what's what.
