Time Kane?

Sunday was my learning how to cook Korean food day. I was to go out to one of my fellow teachers' house and join in on the cooking duties for the day. We made something which involved some rice and some fish, the two staples of any Korean meal. The food was good I must say and then I was shown how to cook up grasshoppers, a far easier task than I imagined. All you have to do is fry them in butter and then they are ready to eat. "How do they taste Alan?" the crowd asks with baited breath, well they taste just like badly burned popcorn, or as much as I think that badly burned popcorn might taste.
Then after the meal I headed back to my appartment and then went into town to catch a movie. We saw Super Size Me and it was pretty good, it certainly made me think twice about eating a lot of Mcdonalds, but Fast Food Nation already did the nasty against them so I needed very little persuasion to continue not eating their junk.
The best bit about the whole experience was that there was a trailer for Blade III: Trinity, and it looks absolutely magic!
Then it was off for some potato pancakes and a beer then home to bed. For those that are interested you should see on the left hand side of the page now there is a link to some pictures, I'll try and keep them updated as often as there is something interesting. If you have a request for a photo from a while back, just put a comment on the site and I'll try and find it somewhere.

Having just watched a Korean film over the weekend called Old Boys, it seems that you do not even have to struggle with cooking across in Korea. In the film this nutter asked for live sushi. The very polite waitress places a live octopus/squid down on his plate which he proceeds to eat alive. The part of this scene which I found most disturbing (oh yes there are some other very disturbing scenes in this film) was the suckers sucking onto this guys face a he was chewing this octopus' head. Man it was minging. Really good film though, I recommend it, at the Belmont and Cameo for a limited period.

Dear Alan,
I have several points to make.

1. Stop this disney shite....your going to get sued to buggery aswell as eatin to fuck.

2. please remove the "view full size" option on the photo page. I clicked on it by accident and got the fright of my life. It not what i need to see at any time, never mind first thing on a monday.

3. however, if you look close enough it seems you might have flies in your eyes. I'd go to the doctors if i was you.

Well I thought that I wouldn't have to say this but Mr Harris has once again passed over the boundaries of correctness and has broken one of the unwritten rules.
So the rule is now going to be written: Please refrain from swearing in the comments as my mum and grandmother, along with quite a few other 'grown ups' read this.
I understand that it is common lingo for the police stations in East Lothian, but please don't bring your gutter talk to the internet, it was not built for such things.
Cheers everyone, I hope you are all well, I put up some more pictures on the site so you can have a wee look if you promise to be good.
Keep it real, Alanowski out

Nobody else is as adept as me at lowering the tone......the only thing that is shocking is that i managed to last so long.
