It looks like it’s Heroes meets Coupling and The Office… and it looks like it’s could be a contender for my potential favorite British comedy show (I’ll have to see the actual show first to pass judgement). The show focuses on a group of friends living in a city where everyone is a super hero.

Here’s a link the website for the show.

She’s a total idiot and doesn’t answer simple questions while rambling on without any clear understanding of what she speaks about. And to think, if McCain were to have health issues, she’d be the one to take over the country! What I worry about is that she didn’t graduate with a law degree, a political science degree, or an international relations degree to give her a proper background in world politics.

Canon just released a teaser movie using their new EOS 5D MKII camera to show how amazing it will be for video and pictures.

The director photographer Vincent Laforet also released a “Behind The Scenes Video” that shows some of how the main video was made.

It looks amazing! Too bad it’s a pro series camera; it’ll be WAY out of my price range when it comes out.

Link: Epicurious.com’s Cheese Fondue Recipe

Ingredients:
1 garlic clove, halved crosswise
1 1/2 cups dry white wine (preferably Swiss, such as Fendant)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons kirsch
1/2 lb Emmental cheese, coarsely grated (2 cups)
1/2 lb Gruyère , coarsely grated (2 cups)

Accompaniment:
cubes of French bread on fondue forks or long wooden skewers

Special equipment:
a fondue pot

To make:

1. Rub inside of a 4-quart heavy pot with cut sides of garlic, then discard garlic.
2. Add wine to pot and bring just to a simmer over moderate heat.
3. Stir together cornstarch and kirsch in a cup.
4. Gradually add cheese to pot and cook, stirring constantly in a zigzag pattern (not a circular motion) to prevent cheese from balling up, until cheese is just melted and creamy (do not let boil).
5. Stir cornstarch mixture again and stir into fondue.
6. Bring fondue to a simmer and cook, stirring, until thickened, 5 to 8 minutes.
7. Transfer to fondue pot set over a flame and serve with bread for dipping.

I originally found this recipe over a year ago when we wanted to make some Swiss cheese fondue when a friend was coming over for dinner. Unfortunately, we had been used to making cheddar and beer fondue and decided to not follow the directions; the result was too much flour, a full bottle of wine in the fondue, and three drunk people eating a not-soft-enough cheese thing with sticks. Since then, we’ve tried it again with a much higher success rate. Our only major change to the recipe is to remove the garlic; all the taste of the original fondue, minus the vampire-killing aftertaste.
