The World’s Two Most Beautiful Vegetables
I guess after yesterday’s veggie post, I gotta keep the edible theme going.
Below you will find 12 pics; 6 of them feature the Romanesco Broccoli and the other 6 showcase the infamous Purple Cauliflower.
The Vegetable Orchestra
well this is one of the strangest things I have ever seen and not just strange looking but strange sounding. This video features a group of people who have made an orchestra by playing different vegetables as a musical instruments.
The sounds they make our somewhat eerie but it’s cool to see people doing unique things like making music with edible instruments.
Blue Agave
Unfortunately there is no sound with this clip, but it is about 1 minute of a guy butchering a blue agave plant with first a machete and then with a shovel.
What is Blue Agave? Blue Agave is a succulent plant that grows primarily in mexico and according to wikipedia it likes “high altitudes of more than 1,500 m and sandy soil”. Blue agave also happens to be the Agave used for making tequilla… while tequilla tastes like crap and generally makes me a mean person, Continue reading Blue Agave
“Fish ‘n Clips”
This little guy could come in handy as a beer bottle opener… the video following this shows a gnarly piranha biting through a TWIG. Sounds like nothing but think if that was your little finger. :X
Survival Of The Fittest M&M
Found this on the net… pretty funny! Darwin would laugh.
Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels.
Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the “loser,” and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.
I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theater of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world.
Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength. In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment.
When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc., Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 U.S.A., along with a 3×5 card reading, “Please use this M&M for breeding purposes.”
This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this “grant money.” I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion.
There can be only one.
Who needs a Bottle Opener?
Not these guys! Now this is how you open your beer… a bazillion different ways.
And as a final note… i am SO glad I’m not their land lord.
