Cooking with Balls

Literally, and figuratively, for that matter.

Testicle_Cookbook

Serbian chef, Ljubomir Erovic, has penned the world’s first testicle cookbook – The Testicle Cookbook: Cooking with Balls.  The recipe collection includes testicle pizza, barbecued testicles and deep fried testicles. (Deep fried testicles will NOT make it into the Happy Fryday circulation.)

This guy is nuts (pun intended).  Not only is he self-taught in the art of testicle cuisine, he also organizes the World Testicle Cooking Championship, held annually in Serbia since 2004.

Excerpt from the E-book:

Wash testicles thoroughly for 30-45 minutes.
Once softened, mince them in a mincer.
A “very sharp knife” is needed for traditional style testicles, which get boiled, cut up and deep fried in hot oil.

You can uncross your legs now, guys. This post is done.

If It Ain’t Broke Part Deux…

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again… If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

I’m all for being experimental with food and trying new things. But with some food, you just shouldn’t stray too far and mess with an already good thing. Case in point, ice cream. Blue Bell, Ben & Jerry’s and Marble Slab do it right with their mixings and toppings by mostly sticking to the sweets. Hell, I’m even ok with mixing sweet & savory sometimes (i.e. fries dipped in milkshakes).

But this just isn’t right…

Ok, this one I’ll let slide because after all, WIT loves bacon.

Don’t Blame Metrosexuality on Feminism

metrosexual

Blame it on their moms & Axe Body Spray.

In today’s NY Observer, Irina Aleksander asserts that the “new male beauty” is a trend toward finding less-than-manly-looking dudes attractive. She asks, “Is this what feminism has wrought?”

Columbia University professor Leonard Lee tells Aleksander: “Large eyes are a ‘neotenous’ cue, one people associate with babies and that elicits female nurturance.” Aleksander translates this as: “Women have literally become attracted to men who look like babies.” – Jezebel

I disagree with her assertion b/c this article assumes that you know who Zac Efron, Clay Aiken and some guy named Edward Cullen are.

Besides, pretty boys just end up looking like this and who wants to compete for mirror time in your twilight years?

Happy Fryday

BFF Burka Style

We all have different kinds of friends.

There are some we party with, some we have deep conversations with and now, some we can get crazy in a burka with:

Paris Hilton said she studied the culture of Dubai and promised the Middle East version of her reality show will steer clear of the drinking and the swearing it had in Los Angeles and London.

The remarks came as Hilton, 28, launched the Mideast edition of her “Paris Hilton’s My New BFF” series in Dubai, a glitzy sheikdom in the United Arab Emirates. – Yahoo News (Yea, AP reports this sh*t now!)

I’ve watched an episode or two and without the drinking, swearing, pole dancing and tiger taming, this show is nothing.

I hope she studied the rules and etiquette.

Shaking elbows might be too personal for this lady.

Scissors…Not Just for Cutting

Ok, so I’m the first to admit, I’ve thrown the “Scissors” pose a couple of times in my life.

But now, I’m totally rethinking this:

The Dirty chronicles people around the country with proclivity to loud dance clubs, excessive drinking, tawdry clothing, bronzer in bulk, and hair gel (read: douchebags). In doing so, they’ve devoted an entire page to posting pictures of dudes and ladies flashing the sideways peace sign, which can also be read as a possible attempt at irony, as its being a silly adoption of a gang sign. – urlesque.com
