Richard Gale & Brian Rohan on 'Spoon Wars!'
18.10.11
The most delightful surprise of Fantastic Fest for me was discovering the short film The Horribly Slow Murderer with the Extremely Inefficient Weapon . It’s a YouTube hit, with the spoon killer slowly beating away at his victim, one minor bruise at a time. I saw it for the first time at a screening, as the filmmakers premiered their sequel, Spoon Wars . I was so impressed, I spent the rest of the week chasing down an interview with director Richard Gale, and the spoon killer himself, Brian Rohan.
CraveOnline: How many other weapons did you think of before you settled on a spoon?
Richard Gale: Well, the initial concept was something that involved a spoon to begin with. The initial concept was over 10 years before we actually made the film. The initial concept was to do just a 30 second or minute long comedy skit/fake movie trailer. It was not nearly as epic as it turned out to be in the final product.

Diabetes Quick Fix: Stuffed Veal Rolls
17.10.11
Stuffed Veal rolls are a popular dish in Emilia-Romagna, a rich and fertile area of Northern Italy where veal is a specialty.
Helpful Hints:
-You can use a good-quality Cheddar, or Swiss cheese can be used, instead of Parmesan.
-Buy good-quality Parmesan cheese and grate or chop it in the food processor. Freeze extra for quick use. You can spoon out what you need and leave the rest frozen.
-You can use any type of white canned beans.
-Make sure veal cutlets are about the same size. If not, cut the bigger pieces to match the smaller ones. They will cook more evenly this way.
-You can turn the veal rolls easily with kitchen tongs.
Countdown:
-Make beans and cover with a lid to keep warm.
-Make veal.
STUFFED VEAL ROLLS
