Lessons Learned from the Iron Chef

Filed under: Lessons • Comments: None

I am not the best cook in the world. I’m hardly an adequate cook. I watch Iron Chef for the sheer entertainment value. I like to watch people cook really really fast. Sometimes I feel bad that I can’t cook an entire Thanksgiving dinner and when I’m done I practically need Anilox cleaning.

However, the Iron Chefs fail at the same thing every time they attempt it. Whenever they try to make foam for a garnish on their plates it falls into a soup before it gets to the judges. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it done successfully. Out of all the crazy stuff we see them do none of them can manage this. I’ve seen them make sushi that looks like stained glass windows. I’ve got one up on them because I can use whip cream from a can. Take that iron chefs.

Best Insult Ever

Filed under: Relationship Lessons • Comments: None

Watching Steven Seagal: Lawman the very calm and collected Steven gave one of the very best insults of all time. I can’t remember if he said this about one of the guys who they took a gun away from or the guy who kicked out the window of the police car. However he said that the accused was “not a good Zen practitioner”. Ouch that had to hurt.

Our Lives are Over

Well that’s what Kate Gosselin would have you believe. I understand that she constantly needs to defend her decision to put her kids on TV. She always talks about all the travel opportunities that the kids have had and all the educational experiences they’ve encountered. Jon was always backing her up on this until he stopped production because the show became harmful to his kids the day after TLC tried to fire him.

I hate how Kate talks about how the kids will never have fun or learn anything ever again and that they are being torn away from their crew. Now you can actually spend time with your kids, take them on costa rica vacations. You don’t have to travel for promotion all the time. Umm, I’m sure that you have enough money that you can take the kids to a tea party or the zoo it just won’t be mandatory.
