Little Angry DollCooking Shows and Huey's Dirty Tea Towel
September 12th 2006 11:18
My husband is yelling at the TV again. This could mean one of two things. Either Shevchenko has missed on goal or Ian Hewitson is taking us off on another adventure into the Land of the Bland.
It’s Huey.
We love cooking shows. The action replays and Chairman Kaga’s wardrobe on Iron Chef. Floyd flambéing himself on any given wine soaked moment. The original “say hi to your mum for me” Jeff Jansz. We especially loved the guy on channel 31 who cooked possum.
And there are cooking show’s we love to hate. Neil “please come out of the closet with that pony tail” Perry, Jamie Bloody Oliver and Ian “Huey” Hewitson.
Huey’s cooking is quick and easy and as a mum, I like watching him though he often brings simplicity to the point of retardation. Ingredients, slumidients!
“I’m making leek and chicken soup. I’m using leeks, but you can use anything you like.”
I don’t even mind that he shamelessly hosts a cooking “Adventure” while promoting Jenny Craig. What I do mind is that extra special something he adds to at least one dish per show. Bacteria.
Watch him. Huey will be happily cooking away, jabbering on to the camera about a load of crap, give you a vague run down on the ingredients and make the occasional off coloured remark about cook’s never having to clean up.
Watch closer.
In particular, watch the tea towel. We do, with a somewhat sick fascination.
Huey keeps a tea towel on hand to “clean up” the plate at the end, for presentation. Even if there isn’t a trace of food on the newly loaded plate, Huey can’t resist giving the plate a wipe over with the tea towel. Chicken blood, chilly, it’s all been soaked into the tea towel. But that’s not the worst. It’s where the tea towel resides that gives us the shudders. We wait for him to pull it out and we haven’t been disappointed yet.
“Let’s just tidy that up a bit…”
Have you been watching that tea towel? If you have, you may have noticed where Huey has pulled it from. He usually keeps it tucked down the back of his pants.
“Why don’t you just throw the ingredients down you f-ing pants and go jogging?!!!!!” my husband yells at the TV.
