welcome to eastvan x MTV

if you are someone who lives in vancouver and happens to stay in touch with whats going on in TV land, you may have noticed that MTV is filming a pilot in Vancouver.

Here is there mission statement:
Follows the wild lives of 3 up and coming musicians from Vancouver on the verge of making it, all the while hanging out, hooking up, and dreaming big.

In the clip they have put on the interweb, it shows a young lady wearing a welcome to eastvan t-shirt. you go girl!
Does anyone know who this young lady is? Tell her to get in contact with me if you do.

Bizoid vs. The Octopus

Having an amazing girlfriend means having outstanding meals. But what happens when said girlfriend is missing? Well, THIS.

My moms gave me this piece of octopus from a whole tentacle she got from her neighbour. The spoon is for scaling purposes dummy.

The only thing I know ’bout cooking octopus/squid is to not overdo it. The last thing you want is aromatic rubber. So, safe bet? Cover the motherfucker in flour and cornstarch and fry in hot oil!

What else is there? Some spaghettini. A single chili pepper from a single chili pepper yielding plant. Green onion near death. And some ragu sauce l’originale avec boeuf hache. Thats meat sauce en anglaise. Note the insanely awesome chopping skills.

Drain the oil from the octo away. Throw back into pan with pasta ingredients and POW! Instant gourmet seafood pasta for one.

And then I was sittin there like, “DAMN SON!…”

“THIS SHIT IS DISGUSTING!”

And into the garbage it went.
