Eat Columbus: Taco Truck Tour Part 1

  • Oct. 9th, 2009 at 3:10 AM

Done due to a request from my good friend Amit, who had somehow found out about it and given me the website to search for it. A few scenes were cut out since it just reinforced what we were talking about while eating, and also a comment by me about the pink truck, about how it's a perfect place for guys since it is run by pretty girls who cook in a pink truck. Yeah, I'm not very subtle, not at all. Enjoy, and let me know if you're interested in joining us on the next one (Which will be on the concentration around Morse and Cleveland when it becomes warm again)

Out of the Hyatt party

  • Sep. 26th, 2009 at 10:30 PM

Lend me your voices, what would be the best day to have a party? This Fri or Sat night, or even day, shoot, I could make it a cookout/party thing.

As most of you probably know already, I've accepted the position as store manager for Panda Express, which, uh, strangely enough, actually would pay me more than any promotion I'll receive from the Hyatt. So, before I leave for Fort Wayne, Indiana for training on Oct. 11th, I'd love to see everyone I know at the party since I'll be out of Columbus for about 5 weeks.

So, yeah, trying to figure out which day would be the best. Comment away, peeps!

Edit: NM on the day thing, we figured it's probably better doing it on Sat anyway, at my place, since we're going to make it an all day thing with cookout and drinking, and people have school/work on Fri usually. So, uh, yeah, just come on over, or comment to let me know you'll be here

Tom Lin Project Desserts: Cinnamon Rolls

  • Sep. 22nd, 2009 at 3:50 AM

Okay, so, uh, somehow, I either forgot to shoot the end of the program, or just lost it altogether. It ends basically with the recipe done and such, but it's missing the usual tasting and farewell thing I do at the end. It's still good though, although it does feel like it got cut off quite short and instantly. Either way, enjoy. I'll be doing our taco truck tour next as the project...

Tom Lin Project Desserts: Irish Cream Cake

  • Sep. 9th, 2009 at 3:03 PM

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's been almost a month since I released anything, but it's been a busy month, and I finally got enough time in my schedule for editing. So, here it is, an older, kinder (Maybe?), Tom Lin Project. Next, I'll be editing Frank's famous Cinnamon roll recipe.


So my stomach hates me from the two Eat Columbus segments we did yesterday, the first being a tour that consisted of five taco trucks, and the second being hot dogs at Dirty Franks. Yeah, Dirty Franks is great for anybody who loves toppings on great hot dogs, and it's a great bar too, so you can stay there and eat/drink till they kick you out. Your stomach may thank you, or it may send you into two extended bathroom trips, who knows. Either way, it was a great night...


Seriously, just look at those pictures, just look at it.

Most people know I am still a big fan of Okami (PS2 version, not the Wii port) since it was first unveiled. As excited as I am for a new entry, the cute-moe-ness of it all kind of makes me weary of getting it. I mean, it'd be like playing with Okami's puppies, and, that in itself, is still trying to wrap itself around my mind...

Secondly, you know those three item challenges that I do for Tom Lin Project? Any cooks want to throw their hats in for a challenge? I'm trying to get as many cooks as possible and see if I can make a big marathon out of it. The idea is this, some guest will choose three items, and we'll all somehow cook a five course meal out of it. We'll draw it out of a hat, of course, so that it's more challenging, and since I have basically the whole week off next week (Starting Sun, ending Sat), I might as well make the best of it. Five course meal consists of soup, salad, appetizer, main course, and dessert. Depending on how many cooks I get, the course may vary, but that's pretty much the basic gist of it all.

Either way, enjoy the cute, sacharine Okamiden pics...

JAM Project #9

  • Aug. 13th, 2009 at 1:32 AM

What the title says? This is the first of the reboots I did for the JAM Project, in where they were all written and planned in a way that it only required one person to shoot the entire thing, since getting the staff and cast together has been a much harder trial than actually writing and planning the challenges out. Anyway, always open to anybody wanting to join for the shooting, it would help me actually catch up and start writing other ones with more than one people in it films...

P4 hilarious comic

Pretty much making fun of the beginning of P4, which is hilarious. And if you don't know what is P4, maybe you shouldn't read the spoilers that may ruin your playing of the beginning of the game...

Maybe substance...

  • Aug. 2nd, 2009 at 12:25 PM

Food stuff for those of you who wanted food-stuff related stuff. Now some pics of me just taking self-portrait with myself 'cause I was tipsy drunk. I think that counts as substance and blog-related, right? Good enough for an update. Anyway, I dressed up since my friend's art was being shown in a gallery, and I didn't want to look like a bum going in, so I figured I would dress up, but didn't want to look too formal, so it just ended up in me dressed up my formal informal look. Here ya go, peeps, have fun!

meh? )

Potato-crusted salmon

  • Aug. 2nd, 2009 at 12:02 PM

Yeah, for some reason, people actually read this, and yeah, for some reason, they said that I needed to post more food-related stuff, like actual photos and stuff. I thought it was funny, because, well, I haven't really posted anything of substance at all, since the blog has pretty much been nothing but Eat Columbus and Tom Lin Project stuff. Well, there is some story and short films too, but still, mostly food stuff. Anyway, since I was cooking food anyway, here's some photos of it, and a recipe of how I did it.

Here's your food stuff, peeps...
photo and recipe? )

Tom Lin Project: Fried dumpling pansit

  • Jul. 31st, 2009 at 2:16 PM

Just what the title says? There was a great joke I had to cut out of the film because it just killed the flow of the clip itself. What happened is that my friend Nandang came over as I was finishing up the pansit, in where he asked "What are you cooking?", to which I replied "Pansit... Your shit... Your shit on the pan..."

Yeah, yeah, quite juvenile, but it's me making jokes, which means no high brow classy jokes there...

Whisper Diaries #1

  • Jul. 29th, 2009 at 3:36 PM

Yeah, #2 came out before #1, but that's cool, right? I mean, they all go towards promoting a film that may never be made, so it's cool, heh...

I guess the first part of the film could be used as a companion to Chu's own music video, since the idea was conceptualized and footage shot at that time...

Tom Lin Project: Chicken udon

  • Jul. 18th, 2009 at 10:28 AM

What the title said. I ate only a bag of peanut m&ms and a pickled egg yesterday, and then went out drinking with the bachelor getting married today, not to mention two glasses of my own spiked punch beforehand. Is that normal? Is my body telling me something? Maybe a trip to waffle house will cure the blues...

Tom Lin Project: Fried tofu

  • Jul. 17th, 2009 at 3:09 AM

What the title said. Pretty simple challenge (I think by Chu, but not very sure about it). Either way, have fun!

Jam Project challenge

  • Jul. 14th, 2009 at 12:02 AM

Since I've been doing a lot of Jam Project challenges (All of them by Mbr, all of them written as a one man project), I figured I'll just post them all together. I'll shoot them all when I have time and am done editing all the Eat Columbus and Tom Lin Project footage (Yes, main reason I haven't filmed anything at all). In the meantime, here's the stories. Still, that being said, anybody interested in a JAM session this friday? Since I'm off and all (No Sat though, since I gotta go to a wedding, but may be free on Sun and Mon if we need an extension on day)

Reverie

  • Jul. 7th, 2009 at 10:32 PM

Although it was shot before "Echoes", and the first section was shot months before filming the second part, I wasn't able to really get it all together till now. Hopefully it works out well and people like it, since most of the new JAM Projects will be shot as "One Man Film Productions", until cast can be got to film the previous ones. EIther way, enjoy!

Short story challenges

  • Jul. 6th, 2009 at 12:18 AM

Since I did so much in the last few days, I figured I might as well just post  them all instead of one by one as soon as I finished them on the forum. Here's the ones I've finished.

 


What title says, I guess? I think I enjoy these type of surprise challenges than the ones I've done usually (You know, just cook dishes people challenge me to cook?). There's something about spontaneous cooking that makes it all much more enjoyable...

And yes, I still can't cook, I just act very well as one...
