When Mel Caylo of Archaia sent me an invite to his BBQ, I knew I wanted to make cupcakes of their popuar Mouse Guard comic book. I stayed up Saturday night baking vanilla cupcakes for the base, and mini Pop-Tarts on sticks. In the morning I ran to Michael’s and bought Wilton’s brown fondant mix, [...]
Chris (cnelson) showed me a video about augmented reality cookies, and I knew that had to be the next baking project. The premise behind this is to hold a cookie with a special mark on it, and a webcam would render a shape over the cookie, even if you rotated it. We were going to [...]
When Chris mentioned that there was an animal out there called Toky0-X that is genetically engineered to be the tastiest animal out there, we knew we had to try it. Tokyo-X is a real, legit animal. It was created by cross-breeding Durok (US), Berkshire (UK), and Beijing Black (China) pigs together. It took seven years [...]
A couple days ago Chris asked me if I was busy Saturday. Then he and Erin suprised me and Dave with tickets to Six Taste’s Bizarre Food Challenge, a culinary tour across strange foods from China. Our friends know us well. This was the first time Six Taste was doing the tour, and it was [...]
So yesterday Jose tried to plan a suprise bday party for Keith, and about an hour later Keith found out. He twittered “Ok, cats out of the bag. It’s my birthday. I’d ask for a pony if I wasn’t 100% sure you assholes would get one and put it in the front room!” About a [...]
CuriousJosh captured Mark Zabala spinning at his new monthly Ninja Skillz event, Fable, and the pics went up at LA Weekly. Spot me and Dave dancing in the background? Fable was last Friday and tons of fun. Medusa Lounge is a beautiful venue, and even more fun when packed with your friends. It was also [...]
Last Thursday I wanted to suprise Dave with dinner. I had him choose from a long list of animals, and he chose the most ordinary one: the chicken. It was a challenge to make chicken fancy, but I hunted through about 100 recipes before I came across the Chicken Saltimbocca on Food Network. Basically, its [...]
Last night, me and ten of my friends piled into a couple of limos and rode from Hollywood to Downey. Most people in LA don’t go to Downey- it’s 20mins (with no traffic) away, and it’s very suburban and boring, as well as being an older area in the city. But there’s a club night [...]
I just got back from Cirque Berzerk with Dave, Craig, Jessica, Chris, and Erin. Ran into Jonah Weiland and his friends there too. It was amazing. Not only is it Cirque de Soile level performance, but it’s put on by a group of Los Angeles burners from the Do Lab. And my friend Art was [...]
