Bloke stuff

While looking for mosquito coils at Big W, I surprised myself by standing in front of the racks of new fry pans and thinking "Hey they look good. I should get one. OOH! A grilling pan!"

I was looking at fry pans. My subconscious kicked in about then. "EMERGENCY!! Get to the automotive section ASAP! Turn left here to avoid the food processors! Now right. LOOK OUT! SAUCEPANS!"

I felt better after a few minutes looking at LED tail lights, xenon bulbs and cans of WD40. "Ooooh! Spanners! Hey I need a new magnetic philips head screwdriver," said the subconscious. "LOOK! Butane-powered soldering iron set! How cool is that?"

I feel better now, but it was a close thing. Fry pans? Sheesh.

You have obviously never seen the book macho cooking with power tools. It is an actual cook book. I bought Mike a copy years ago. It had things like blowtorch in the kitchen (for desserts) or using a drill to mix things with. You might actually like it. Perhaps I should peruse the used book stores to get you a copy? :)

I dont know about Australia, but here in the states, they bill him as the naked chef. Why is he dressed if he is supposed to be naked?

Its just one of those things that make you go hmmmm :)

He does cooking without all the fancy food dressing up other Chefs do. Hence: Naked. It's not him that's naked. 8)
