Cooking/dance competition
Contestants must cook a meal (think Iron Chef) while their favorite music is playing. Music must be danceable, and contestants are expected to dance while cooking.

i get a lot of crap email. i spend a portion of my day hitting the delete key and filtering through to the stuff that is even remotely relevant to me. occasionally i get a few forwards from family, and occasionally it saddens me to see how ignorant and racist they are. rather than think too… Continue reading mandarin america
so, i went to the corner store near our house the other day because we were out of juice. this is a tragic occurance in our household, one that results in much angst and screaming if we are not able to supply gavin with his beverage-of-choice. so, gavin and i took a field trip. having… Continue reading she’s easy
