No, he hasn't had a heart attack...

It's just been a big week for Jono, and having the 'man flu' had a crippling effect on him (as we sneakily caught on camera)...

A Michael Jackson themed 'flash mob'

We've posted plenty of videos on here that are 'flashmobs'. A flashmob is where a large group of people randomly assemble in a public space and perform an unusual action.
 
They are always interesting to watch (as they would've taken so much planning!) We've just stumbled across a Michael Jackson themed flashmob, here it is:

The world's LEAST relaxing beach...

Nothing is better than relaxing on a beautiful beach basking in the sun... that's as long as it isn't this beach. Could this be the worlds' least relaxing beach? It looks more like confetti than a beach. Imagine what would happen if the shark alarm went off!

Fast Ed Halmagyi cooks us a treat

We were treated on the show today when 'Fast' Ed Halmagyi dropped by to cook us one of his '10 Minute Meal's from his new cookbook- '10 Minute Meals' (the name makes perfect sense). He chose to make us his Peanut Butter Brownie Balls (he chose correctly- especially for Jono).
 
The recipe is below (written out and also the audio from the show). Here are some pics of the finished product:
 
Dano with the Brownie Balls (and Ed putting a final finishing touch of greenery):
 

 
Dano, Fast Ed and Jono - with the amazing Brownie Balls... mmmmmm
 

 
And voila - it's ready to eat (and it didn't last long on that plate!):
 

 
Here is the recipe:
 
1. Chop 200g dark chocolate roughly and place in a 1L saucepan with 100ml thickened cream and set over a medium heat.
 
2. Stir the chocolate mixture. Cut a store bought (or bake one yourself) chocolate cake into 1cm slices and smear each side with peanut butter.
 
3. Stir the chocolate mixture. Slice 4 sticks of rhubarb as finely as possible and place in a small mixing bowl. Pour 1/4 caster sugar over the top.
 
4. Remove the chocolate mixture from the stove. Press the cake slices back together firmly, then cut into eight pieces. Squeeze each piece into a rough ball shape.
 
5. Chop 1/2 cup salted peanuts roughly
 
6. Dip the cake pieces in the chocolate sauce, then roll in chopped peanuts. Place in the fridge to firm up.
 
7. Drizzle the rhubarb with 2 Tbsp of raspberry cordial and mix well, then stir in some mint leaves.
 
8. Place 2 chocolate balls on a plate and garnish with a pile of the rhubarb salad and some of the syrup.
 
 
You can find more recipes and info about Ed and his new book at fast-ed.com.au.
 
In the meantime you can hear Ed talk you through this quick and easy recipe here:
