Howdy folks!
After many months of hard work and unreturned calls from Tom Hanks, the long-awaited video Liver in Lemon Sauce has been completed and is available for your viewing pleasure! (Thanks to Janna for showing me how to attach it below!)
I'm so happy I could poop!
Many thanks to my friend Chris who loaned me his kitchen, Snuggie™, and "Post Production Waste Disposal Unit," not to mention filming the entire thing and adding some badass special effects! Chris rocks-- you can hear him trying to restrain his laughter throughout the short movie.
Thanks also to the Gather members who REGULARLY REMINDED ME that I was supposed to film this. I swore I wouldn't name names... but you know who you are.
I'd also like to thank my partner (hugs!), Wonton the Wondercat and Sammy J Jumper, Jr, as well as the Academy-- you like me! You really like me!
Not sure what to make of this Liver Business? Here's the lowdown:
Liver in Lemon Sauce was the winner in Mournicopias: Gather's Gallery of Regrettable Food Competition in 2008. At the goading of several unnamed members, I cheerfully pledged to film myself cooking and eating this monstrosity. Geez Louise, what was I thinking?
You can relive the livery magic by checking out some of these links. Remember: make sure your parental controls allow for poopy language so you can gain access!
Here's the actual recipe, announced after it won the prestigious award! Special note: Gather member LEE has promised to prepare, eat, and post an article about Liver with Lemon Sauce once I've published the video. I can't wait, Lee!
Here is where the Liver first debuted, touching the hearts of many and turning the stomachs of even more.
And here's a cellphone snap of me buying that accursed organ. I kept it in the freezer for over a month before I ate it.

(If this is the "director's cut", why isn't the video embedded here?)

You're just being a big POOPER Mugg! Study it a little closer and you'll see the piece of meat I cut off is the one I put in my mouth. If ANYONE here cries foul, it's ME for having to put that in my mouth-- especially when it follows a chocolate-chip cookie!
1. Go the the page your video is on.
2. In the bar just above comments (rate, bookmark, etc.), move your cursor over "embed code".
3. Copy the code.
4. Open your "Director's Cut" article and click "Edit" under the title.
5. When the publishing tool opens, click on "HTML" in the toolbar.
6. A box will open showing all the HTML source code.
7. Paste the embed code you copied in step 3 where you want it to be in your post (probably at the end; skip a few spaces and paste.)
8. Click the "Update" button in the lower left of the box.
9. The box will close and the space where the embedded video will be will show in your article as a yellow box.
10. Press the "Submit" button, and your video should be in your article!
It looks like a lot of steps but it's really easy once you do it once or twice.
This is on YouTube-- Liver Clicky Link
Or you can see the super-special HI-REZ, 65mb version, on Chris' website
Hope you enjoy!

I think I needed more cooking wine.

Upon further viewing I realized that the fork with the alleged "liver" is never actually seen plunged into the organ, and that the bite-sized piece is never seen being actually cut from the liver.
I realize that this could be considered "nit-picking" by people who are NOT Virgos.
BRILLIANT! I TRIPLE DOG DARE YOU to send this to the Food Network as your audition tape for "The Next Food Network Star."
(Heheheeeeeeeee)
Gordon Ramsay, eat your heart out (or any other vital organ you care to saute)

Thank you-- but if there's one thing I learned, it's not getting myself caught up in these "bets." /yet I'm still seriously thinking about it...

YOU'RE Sarah Palin?!?
"What's in Lois's Attic" that would be interesting, Dear Diary, seeings how there are bats in the belfry! ;-)
And you should have warned me before I drank last night... Cuz this just made me want to puke.

Revolting? I hope you were referring to the food rather than production qualities? :)
Sorry about the EMU (early-morning upchuck), Lainie, but I couldn't find the proper Gather flag for that.
Julia Star, Feb 17, 2009, 9:23am EST
SOMEONE has x-ray vision... just saying [hugs]
I have not upchuck yet... But, I'm sure that if I watch this again, I would.
Can we get a little video of Wonton and Sammy?
Lainie - Just Lainie , Feb 17, 2009, 9:58am EST
I'm not sure how they would react to the silver screen...

Considering the conditions, I think I was VERY reserved! One "JC," one "Crap," and one "Sh-poop." All I can say: Thank God for editing!!

Dear allow Lois a little bit of house keeping here. I have just learned that a jealous little troll as taken issue with this comment. Thank you for noticing dear, and I appreciate the mention--hugs!

Trex: I am humbled beyond belief! Thank you for your kind response!
I give this brilliant piece of cinematography a thumb!
Lance L., Feb 17, 2009, 4:36pm EST
Well that's certainly more than the "middle digit review" I normally receive! Thanks Lance!
As for the fridge-- I can't help out with that since it's my friend's fridge :( I'll pass along the info, though.
P.S. The liver said it was good til April-- 6 months of livery-goodness!
It was SO worth it!!! ROFLMBO!
Although, how in the WORLD you could taste that stuff AFTER eating part of a chocolate chip cookie, I don't KNOW!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEUUUUUUUUUUUUUUWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!
A Spielberg in the making!
I would have gone with a George Lucas theme, but that just brings up unfortunate memories of Jar Jar Binks...
