I’d be curious to see that. Then again, I’m a pervert :)
‘Naked chef’ to debut on Hong Kong adult channel
A Hong Kong adult channel is set to debut a cooking show headlined by a nude host who will prepare Cantonese dishes wearing a transparent apron — an apparent bid to encourage more men to cook. Host Flora Cheung will start each 30-minute show shopping for fresh ingredients in the city’s famous wet markets, undressing once she is back in the privacy of her studio kitchen, the South China Morning Post reported.
Cheung, who admits she has never worked in a restaurant kitchen, said she hopes the risque show will draw more men into the kitchen. The first episode is set to air later this month. “I have always liked cooking and I thought I should share (the) enjoyment with more people,” the 26-year-old told the Post. “Most men don’t like to cook, but I want to get them interested… From shopping to cooking — it’s the whole shebang,” Cheung added.
The host promised that her tailor-made, transparent apron won’t leave much to the imagination. “It covers pretty much everything but hides nothing,” she was quoted as saying.
This is so full of win!


Merry Festivus, everybody!
Katy and I sometimes watch Man V Food as filler TV. The show is about a man who roams the US to face food challenges that local restaurants host as a matter of course (like eating 5 pounds of chicken wings in 30 minutes to win a t-shirt, an 8 pound sirloin steak to get your picture on the wall, or a 6-pound hoagie with 2 pounds of fries). So yeah. One TV critic describes it as the food version of Jackass. Every time we watch the show, we’re half-and-half drooling at the food that’s being prepared and appalled at the waste generated and the idiocy of it all.
We decided to do our own version of the silliness today. I made us a one-pound burger, with a quarter pound of bacon and three slices of cheese, topped with fried mushrooms and onions, pickles, lettuce, mayo and reggae reggae relish all on a grand rustique loaf. It was really good. It was huge. The scary bit? It’s not even in the Man V Food league in meal size. Still, it’s not something that I’m planning on doing again any time soon. I’m still stuffed from the thing!

German sausage lovers can now study for a master’s degree in their favourite dish. Students learn how to appreciate the white sausage at the Sausage Academy in Neumarkt, set up by Norbert Wittman. There are also diploma courses covering which lagers, mustards and types of music go best with different varieties of sausage. So far 1,300 students have gained the diploma.

For reasons unknown, the database servers are being extraordinarily naughty at work and it’s getting impossible to get anything done. I’ve been trying to rebuild a biomart for the last 2 days and the scripts keep borking on me. Finally, it seems to be working now, but it’s sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow.
So, in the meantime, there’s naught else to do but browse on my new toy.
It’s bad. It’s really bad. I’ve already installed 6 games, a few productivity apps and the complete learner’s guide to the UK motorcycle theory test (which I need to study for because my exam is next Friday).
I love my phone.
There’s something very zen about watering your garden at 11:30pm when you’re high as a kite.
A conversation between two foxes:
– You ate your own cubs?
– You know, you get peckish, nothin’ in the fridge
– You had Muller rice!
– Yeah, but no spoon.
[later]
– Look what I just found, a spoon! It was just a waste of life after all!
Eat your Jesus biscuit! Eat it right up!
Since I started my livejournal blog in 2004, I’ve stored all of my random blog pictures in a single folder. Over the years, I’ve amassed a truly amazing amount of random shit. Going back on it myself, I don’t remember the context of half of those pictures. Still, some are worth a chuckle. Be warned though, a few are NSFW: http://flubu.com/images/LJ/index.php
