Halloween Wars

Now this is a TV show that I can go for. This TV show is one of those shows that once you start watching, you're not going to stop. And no it's not like the other shows that I have written about like Breaking Bad or Leverage, or even The Walking Dead. But it's a food show! Halloween Wars is a baking show where each team has three people and each team consists of a candy/chocolate master, a cake baker/decorator, and a master pumpkin carver.

Now seeing the types of pumpkins that these guys carve are truly fantastic. The detail that is put into them is above and beyond. Some of the pumpkins that they even carve into are about 1200 pounds. Now that's a big pumpkin.

Now take the baker. The stuff that they make out of cake or modeling chocolate is so intricate that it's so amazing to see what they can do. In the first season there us a woman who was a fantastic artist who was able to make a skeleton out of cake! You don't see this! Ever! The detail was so realistic that it would just blow your socks off.

And finally, the candy man. These guys make anything out of chocolate or pulled sugar. And when I say anything, I mean anything. You will see chocolate gates. Sugar Hair. Eyes made of blown sugar. Anything can be made by these guys and it was truly amazing.

Now this show will make anyone super hungry, like it did for me. But it is so worth it after you see the stuff that these guys make.

Social Networking for People who Cook

I heard about this Web site and thought of our class. It's called Tasty Planner. It's a social network for cooking that also compiles grocery lists among other features.
