George Clooney Pudding
So I heard on the news that the animal rights group PETA came up with the stunning idea of creating a line of tofu flavored with George Clooney’s sweat. I know, OMG, right? Who wouldn’t buy that?
Apparently someone at PETA got their hands on a gym towel soaked in Clooney’s persperation and, bang, the idea for CloFu was born. So far, Clooney doesn’t seem too excited about CloFu. (He’s reported to have said, “As a mammal, I’m offended.”) But PETA is not easily discouraged; I have faith they can make this thing happen.
By the way, if anyone at PETA is reading this, I would like to volunteer for the job of harvesting Clooney’s sweat. It’s something I’ve dreamed about many times, so I mean, it’s sort of like I’m virtually experienced and I could be good at this line of work. I would even defer a salary, if that makes me a more desirable candidate.
While I await your response, I’m going to practice making CloFu chocolate pudding, using regular, plain old boring tofu as a subsitute until the sexier thing comes along:
CloFu Chocolate Pudding
8 ounces Ghirardelli semisweet chocolate chips
¼ cup milk
1 16-ounce package silken Clofu (or tofu, if G.C. is still negotiating with PETA and CloFu has not hit Ralph’s shelves yet)
2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
2 teaspoons superfine sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
Melt the chocolate together with the milk in the top of a double boiler over hot water. Place the chocolate mixture in the food processor with the tofu, espresso, sugar and vanilla and process until very smooth. Chill the pudding for at least three hours or overnight and serve with a little whipped cream. Serves 4.

TOFU in PUDDING??? I’m sorry but even if you were to use CLOfu, WHY BOTHER??? It’s like diet ice cream. Big mistake.

Dammit, Janet! Have you lost yo minds?
Why don’t you put your hubbies sweat in there instead? You saying he’s not as hot as Clooney?
I mean, I’d eat Jane Fonda’s sweat but I aint married!

I immediately sent this link to my work partner, Erin Mentel-Gaeta, who is one of the most healthy eaters that I know. Her was Ms. Erin’s response:
“like it – except I would use carob or pure dark chocolate instead of choc chips…..more antioxidants. If I am feeling like i worked out enough i would use butterscotch – my favorite! george clooney isn’t really my type so i can’t get into eating his sweat – gross!”
I am trying to get her to join this blog because she loves the recipes but after smelly feet and George’s sweat, it may be a few months off.

Just this morning Oshea showed me a picture (from Variety) of you, Clooney, et al. at the Governor’s Ball in February, which I googled. Which led me here. I love food blogs, and laughs. You’ve got a great combo going; thanks, and keep up the good work.
