The Magic of Hulu....

Hulu is an online video service that offers anytime viewing of TV shows (past and present). Lately, it's  been my family's ticket to Friday nights curled up on the couch together watching: Chopped.

            Our limited TV service doesn't give us access to the fun cooking shows of the Food Network-- but the magic of Hulu has brought this cooking contest straight to our home, free of charge. Chopped makes for perfect family viewing and has sparked an interest in cooking for my sons. While watching the show, we talk about ingredients, cooking methods, and the classic rules of the kitchen. (Do not serve fish and cheese together!)

          This is all part of my grand plan to have sons who are excellent cooks. Their (future) wives will thank me later!

The 'Chopped' series goes like this --
1) Four chefs are given a  basket with mystery

         ingredients AND 20 minutes to create an appetizer.
2) The chefs slice, dice, whisk, grill, mix, and plate using every

         creative idea they can summon.
3) The judges taste, comment and then CHOP the contestant

         whose efforts were least successful.
4) Repeat for an entree.
5) Repeat for a dessert.
6) Proclaim the Chopped Champion!



What makes the Chopped series fun to watch --
1) The time limit keeps things-a-moving. No chance for your

          mind to wander - Just pure action.
2) The ingredients keep everyone on their toes. Sardines,

          chocolate and chick peas? Just when I think the     
          combination is impossible, one creative chef makes my  
          mouth water.
3) The show has drama, mystery, suspense, laughter and tears,

            but lacks violence, sex, or drugs. Cue the applause
            from mothers of kindergarteners everywhere!

Here's a taste (so to speak):
