Sweet Sue Whole Chicken in a Can
Roasting a chicken is probably one of the easiest things to do. Some people, fearing dry breast or undercooked dark meat, fuss with the oven as they cook a bird, deploying tin foil, trussing twine, toothpicks, and crazy methods that resemble superstitious rituals. Through my favorite food blog, The Paupered Chef, I found Barbara Kafka’s flawless and ridiculously easy chicken roasting method that even a completely inexperienced cook could pull off with fabulous results. There is, then, absolutely no reason canned whole chicken should exist. It is an atrocity, as Tracy O’Connor of I Hate My Message Board proved when she cooked a Sweet Sue Canned Whole Chicken and blogged about it for Food Network Humor.

Melbourne-based artist Thomas Pavitte uses basic techniques to create complex artworks. For his take on Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, he carefully arranged and numbered 6,239 dots and then spent the next nine hours connecting them.

Austin band The Low Lows are one of my most prized finds of the year so far. It’s introspective music — staggered harmonies delivered by a distant, agonised voice that filters through a wall of tranquil guitar distortion and measured drumming. Every instrument carries a powerful emotion, sometimes keeping their distance from one another, floating up and around the airwaves, and other times colliding and crashing back to earth.
