Shepherd's Pie

Well this month (err, last month), Amy and I found ourselves victims to the Irish Curse: too much footage.

This resulted in some rare restraint by our creative director in chopping out a couple of zingers from the opening few minutes. Stay tuned for the deleted scenes in the season 1 DVD box set. Anyway this happened so long ago (sorry guys) that I'm just going to give a quick running diary and provide my reactions:

00:01: New take on the intro: having inaudible comments over the finished product.

00:50: This intro sequence is still the best thing we’ve ever done.

01:15: God I wish I had improv skills. Note to Amy: don’t put me on the spot.

01:45: Veering dangerously toward montage status. Glad we averted that.

03:40: No, you’re not a biologist Kurt. Or talented.

03:52: Taking those lamb chunks out of that plastic sleeve looked like Alien Autopsy. But with the grainy blogger video compression, it could've just been special effects.

05:13: Even I’m nodding off at this point

05:22: I’m saved from losing interest by yet more terrible improv. “Other types of sodabread” indeed.

06:15: Nice extended torso shot of Amy.

07:10: Spinoff alert: Kurt & Amy Pan Sautee Shit coming in 2011.

07:50: Cap’N’Trade deserves an explanation, but unfortunately you’re not going to get one here.

08:30: Fry science is being dropped. Look for our article “Nature’s Delicious Jacuzzi” in next month’s Scientific American

09:12: Way to start a joke you can’t finish Kurt. Amy, way to not edit that out. You know what? I'm going to swear off analogies. If they're not good enough for the SATs anymore, they have no place in K&ADFS

09:55: We hand-selected our gallery this week to be underwhelmed by whatever was put in front of them, and they did not disappoint.

10:55: “I would add salt to it.” A fitting way to end the episode. Thanks for coming Lili!

A Fond Farewell to 36 Clark

That's right, Kurt has moved into a new apartment, taking our production studio with him. What follows is a very special, final webisode of K+ADFS at 36 Clark Street, and a tearful one it is. So grab your Kleenex and join us as we bid goodbye to the apartment that made us an overnight internet sensation (it'll happen any day now...).

Kurt adapted Giada's Zeppole Recipe, adding ricotta and walnuts, but we'll definitely throw in some lemon zest the next time we whip up a batch of these. Of course, trying our hand at traditional festa fare, we really let the ethnic stereotyping fly here, but all in good fun: we're so very proud of our people's remarkable advances in the field of fried desserts!

Spoiler alert: Kurt's new apartment ultimately had ample space for the kitchen island and it, too, made the big move to Boerum Hill last month. So our melodramatic Goodbye in Two Parts was arguably a bit reactionary, but we make no apologies for uproarious programming! Stay tuned for our inaugural webisode live from the new kitchen... coming soon!
