Cooking with Brunslo!

Loren loves to cook. Every time I mention anything about being hungry, he's all, "Ryan! Let me cook you a meal! It'll be delicious!" Which is cool when I've got, like, four hours to spare, but not so cool when I'm actually hungry and want to eat right away.

About eight months ago, a few weeks before we filmed Big Damn Heroes, Loren, Felicity, Andy and myself were sitting around watching Battlestar Galactica and we decided we were hungry. Loren flipped out and was all, "Hey guys! Let me cook you a meal! It'll be delicious!" and for some reason we bought it. Of course, I had no food in my apartment, so we had to go to the grocery store. Then Loren had to figure out how to cook a stir-fry, which he had apparently never done before. It ended up taking four or five hours.

I filmed the whole thing, of course, but by the time we were done I was so full of hate that I just let the footage sit for eight months while I recovered. Yesterday I finally decided to dig it up and do something with it.

Amazingly, I think this might be the most coherent video I've ever done.

Way to go, Loren!

I think Loren is actually a better cook than I was at his age. Of course, at that time in my life, I was busy blowing up airplanes and drinking Old Danish - none of that sissy stuff about physics degrees.

Nicely cut.

hee!

By 'filming the whole thing', he means that once we got to the store, the spectacle of Loren picking produce (and maintaining that just about everything in the produce section belonged in stir-fry -- we weren't able to dissuade him from the potatoes) was so amusing that Ryan drove home to get his camera, while I tried to stall Loren and not reveal where Ryan had gone.

Ryan informs me that my voice is not that high when uncompressed. Thank the Lord.

No title

Without a doubt it makes my top 100 intertron movie productions that range from 7-8 minutes in length.

Wow

I have to say, that's just about the funniest thing I've seen all week. Brings back many memories of experimental cooking. In fairness to Loren, I think everybody makes the rice quantity mistake their first time... of course, for most of us, our first rice-cooking time was quite a while *before* we graduated from college. :-)

But was it delicious?

Re: No title

I don't know if I'd call it delicious, but it wasn't bad. I remember it being a little oily, and it tasted pretty bland before I added a lot of salt, but it was still perfectly edible.

Bah, it was just the right amount of oil. Olive oil is my hero, I use it in nearly everything I cook.

I done TOLD you!

For stir fry, you should really use peanut oil. It gets hotter, and it tastes far more Asian. But obviously, apart from stopping you from putting marshmallows in stir-fry, my opinions are irrelevant :p
