Yummy

Several years ago, I was looking through an old paperback book with recipes for making wine, cordial, and beer. I came across the most repulsive beverage recipe I've ever seen, before, or since: Cock Wine.

From my recollection, it called for a couple of chickens, buried until they'd rotted.

Have you ever heard of this recipe, or one like it? Although I don't want to make it, or drink it, I'd love to see the actual recipe again.

Anyone? Bueller?

In other news, my almost daily BodyFlow classes have been working wonders. My inner thigh injury, the one I'd been getting weekly physiotherapy for until April, appears to be completely healed. I did a few big stretches at kung fu practice, the sort of stretches which always twigged the injury, and didn't even feel as much as a miniature twinge. Hallelujah!

And I also discovered that I can now easily do an Iron Bridge. Although I could do them before, they required a lot of effort, and a lot of trembling. While modelling for artists yesterday, I held a bridge for 80 seconds without collapsing. I think it's from all the back work I've been doing in BodyFlow.

Regular serious practice at that class works wonders.

On Sunday, gha5t started teaching me the Tiger Monkey form. I have a long way to go. I wonder if anyone in Kitchener-Waterloo knows it?

You model for artists?

This is my first time in about two years, but aside from that lapse, I've been an artists' model on a regular basis for about twelve years.

does it pay well?

[f00dave.livejournal.com]

It should, as in larger cities (~30$/hour), but it doesn't (10$/hour). It's sad...

[duhastbees.livejournal.com]

ten bucks an hour still isn't bad.
and I bet it's fun.

$10/hour is terrible, considering how much work goes into the job, and considering it's exactly how much I made when I first started modelling, well over a decade ago.

It can be fun, but I'm pretty jaded with the job at this point. I'd definitely recommend it to exhibitionists and people who want to learn more about their personal capabilities, though.

hrm.
I'm still going to check it out.

Go for it! It's definitely an interesting job to add to your résumé!

That reminds me.. When you get back to Ontario, give me a shout.. Can always use models. (especially ones that can do kung-fu). *grin*

I doubt it's here, but still an entertaining website nonetheless. Listed are The Weight Watchers Recipe Cards circa 1974. "Still scary after all these years." http://www.candyboots.com/

Scary, indeed!
