No-Calorie TV: Kuchenschlacht

We gave up our TV in 2005 when we moved to Singapore, which was a
really good decision. Even when there are times when I'm tired and
don't feel like reading or cooking or talking with friends, more often
then not I am thankful that the big black box (or I guess it would be
a flat panel these days) is not there to suck me into the void. Ok, I
admit that to a large extent the laptop has merely replaced it. *But*
at least in this case I am actively choosing what to watch or read or
listen to.

Nevertheless, a guilty pleasure at the gym remains watching a cooking
show on Sat morning. It's fairly long (makes for a long workout then
if I want to watch the whole thing...) and...I think called
"kuchenschlacht" - literally "kitchen butchery." Hardly a new concept,
but done really well by ZDF-amatuer cooks compete against one another
for a week to see who is the best cook. They are judged by
professional chefs along the way and each day, one is removed from the
lineup. I like the show because as an amatuer myself, I am really
learning a few things. The competitors make mistakes I make and get
tips for improvement.

Today's show especially good. There were a bunch of recipes I wanted
to try.

Therefore, looks like I got my no-calorie tv for the day....
