Almost every single job these days require you to have some sort of computer knowledge. I mean come on, it’s the 21st century here and already we’re reaching a complete revamp of Internet websites while it hits the full web 2.0 style. Now because the 21st century is mainly about technology and how we all revolve around using technology to accomplish things, most job places utilizes computers to get work done quick and accurate (despite Windows problems). Basically if you don’t know how to use a computer, you’re practically out of date with the current inventions and technology. Technology is everywhere and we use them when we’re awake and when we’re asleep.

Trying to get back on schedule here at Bloggin-Ads.com, I’ve decided to do another review of more than one blog. I haven’t fulfilled much review requests as of yet because some of you guys really don’t have content for me to review about, so it’s very difficult to make something out of it. Although I really want to stop doing reviews, I’m not going to change how my blog runs. Helping others is what this blog is all about and I wouldn’t give that up for anything.

I know I know, I admit that I haven’t been posting as much or just posting no content lately and I have no one to blame but myself. Well, lets get to the point and take a look at today’s review on 2 very unique blogs. I mean, Bloggin-Ads is no John Chow, we actually review for free and free is always good right?

italian-dolci-346-x-46.png

The only reason that this review post consists of 2 different blogs is because I can’t read Italian. Although I can’t read any of the text on the blog, I would still want you guys to check it out and possibly use a translator.

Why use a translator you ask? This blog simply amazing for anyone that wants to learn how to cook Italian recipes. There are a lot of blogs out there that discusses about food, but there aren’t much that discuss Italian food recipes. Upon receiving a request to review this blog, I just had to show my wife because my wife loves cooking. I don’t know why, but hey…a man has to eat.

*UPDATE* - BlogDolci is now in English!

italian-tiramisu-132-x-99.jpgWith simple translation of the recipes, you’ll be able to make many type of desserts. With over 300 recipes of cakes, cookies, etc, I’m able to realize why people visit these type of blogs. What is so great is that the sections are organized very well too allowing viewers to navigate the site with no problems unless of course you don’t understand the language.

Here’s a sneak at the sections BlogDolci provides:

I must also add on that I love the theme! It really works with this recipes site, so check them out.

Well, the header of this section says it all. The owner of this following blog is not John Chow and he made that clear with his domain, http://www.notjohnchow.com/.

Who is this not John Chow guy? - About Page

The owner of this blog may not be a John Chow, but his name really is John, so that could work. Alike the evil John Chow’s goal, this John would also like to make money online and also teach it back to the community. Growing up in the northern suburbs of Detroit, John was the youngest of 5 living in a middle class family. Like any person striving to learn, he attended Michigan State University and graduated with a degree in “Advertising” and a MBA in “Strategic Planning” from Davenport University.

John has coached youth soccer for 12 years and loves to hike, camp, launch model rockets, take photographs, write, play chess, travel, build sand castles, carve pumpkins (with power tools!), read, fight prostate cancer, yell at the TV with my wife (darn politicians!), and more.

With all that said, John is still no John Chow. One evil man is enough :)

What’s so good about the “Not” John Chow anyways?

italian-dead-250-x-250.gifI do admit that this John basically recaps same type of information that have been posted on other blogs, but one really caught my attention. Now with that said, I’m said to say that the evil John Chow is dead. Although he shares same content as bigger blogs, every blog should be given a chance because same content is usually based on opinion and all opinions could result in different thoughts.

If you’re interested in Italian recipes, then subscribe to BlogDolci, but if you hate John Chow, then subscribe to the “not” John Chow here.

I Love Human Bread, Don’t You?

Warning: This post might gross some of you out. Proceed with care!

Thailand is known for their beautiful women, creation of the Pad Thai dish, and Thai Tea. I’m sure most of you love their food because of the spice they add into it. I started eating Thai food about 2 years ago when I met my wife and I must say that the Tom Yum Goong soup is sour & spicy in a very unique way. I bet after mentioning that, it made your mouth fill up with saliva because you want a taste of it now. What if I say that Thailand isn’t only known for great food and beautiful women? What if Thailand is hiding human bodies in a bakery we do not know about?

That’s right, a 28 year old art student in Potharam, Thailand, Kittiwat Unarrom, is using body parts on his creations in his bakery. I’m going to admit that there’s something unique about this bakery and it’s not cake or muffins. Deep in the dark rooms of this bakery, dough is used to make very live like body parts and hung on meat hooks for display or sales.

“Everyone’s life is rushed nowadays, even when it comes to eating,” he said. “When we eat, we don’t think about our health or safety, we only think of our taste buds.”

As an undergraduate, Kittiwat was a painter, but slowly moved towards dough because his family owns a bakery. Using anatomy books and vivid memories, Kittiwat creates human arms, feet, big parts, and chicken from dough, chocolate, raisins, and cashews.

Kittiwat now sells human bread on a regular basis to curious people including pranksters that would like to play a trick on their friends or family.

“When people see the bread, they don’t want to eat it. But when they taste it, it’s just normal bread,” he said. “The lesson is ‘don’t judge just by outer appearances.’”

Below, you’ll see how the creator makes human bread…

I’ve never tried this “delicacy” yet, but I’m wondering if any of you have done so? Everything just looks so fake, but real at the same time. The blood, the glow, the humanly figures could just scare anyone away. What if the mastermind behind this invention is sneaking in some real parts? Who knows right?

Loving Seafood Can Kill You

Food & Drink, Ramblings 12 Comments »

dangerous sushi

I’m sure most of you guys eat seafood once in a while and I’m sure that some of you even love it. Main dishes for seafood comes from trouts, catfishes, and salmon to raw seafood in sushi. What if eating seafood results in a high chance of killing you? No, I don’t mean having high cholesterol, but I do mean literally killing you. From the writer that brought you the deep-fried Mars Bar post, Bloggin-Ads.com brings you Fugu!

ms puffThe Puffer fish seems like a normal fish that swims around, but did you know that they can actually kill you if you don’t have a licensed chef serve you this? Yes, I’m talking about the puff fish like Ms. Puff from the Spongebob Square Pants Nickelodeon show.

There are many names for this fish, which includes puffers, ballonfish, blowfish, bubblefish, globefish, swellfish, toadfish, and toadies. Some chefs tend to call this fish, fugu, which is a delicacy dish that is only served in Japan and Korea.

Now I’m not going to go all scientific on you, so I’m going to make everything simple and let you know the details below:

There was an old Japanese ritual where many sample the Fugu fish, and any foreigner (gaijin in Japanese) that survives the task actually receives more respect from the locals. It is a technique to gain social bonding, but many risked their life because of the poison that is within. The warrior leaders, Shogun, in Japan also used to eat this type of fish to show status. Now I just wonder if the evil John Chow will give this expensive dish a try and tell us about it.

Capturing the Fugu fish to make food dishes was banned until recently in 1958. Chefs are now allowed to prepare these dishes to people, but to prepare the Fugu, the chefs must learn about it for 2-3 years to earn the responsibility.

If not served right, the Fugu fish has a poison called Tetrodotoxin, which is a very potent neurotoxin. This results in a person’s nerves shutting down. The poison in the Fugu fish has the amount to poison up to 30 persons, which is a huge amount of loss. The most potent of this poison is mainly located in the ovaries and the liver of the Fugu. It spreads rapidly through the body unless these organs are removed when cleaning.

Although this dish is pretty much safe now and Fugu fish don’t carry as much poison as before, there are still 1-2 deaths caused from it. Since 1886, the poison in this fish has killed over 6,925 residents in Japan and Korea.

Pricing:

With chefs that need so much skills, this dish doesn’t come cheap. You’re expected to pay anywhere from $100-200 in a higher class restaurant, but $10-20 at some other ones. If I were you, I would suggest paying a little more to have things on the safe side.

sushi kills

A few Fugu dishes:

  • Fugu-sashi
    Thinly sliced raw fugu. Served with ponzu dipping sauce (mixture of citrus juice and soy sauce).
  • Fugu-chiri
    Vegetables and fugu are simmered in konbu dashi soup in a large pot. Served with ponzu dipping sauce.
  • Fugu Kara-age
    Floured and deep fried.
  • Fugu Hire-zake
    Grilled fin is put in hot sake drink.

Most of you can rest assured that if you go to Japan and test this dish, you should pretty much stay alive, but some chefs actually leave a hint of poison within the meat to give the taster a small poisonous feeling. I don’t know about you guys, but I really want to try this dish…and I’m surprised I didn’t see this advertised when I was in Japan. I wonder if Neil can give this a try and tell us all about it.
