(The Eden Disorder, by Naumaxia on YouTube.)

I love everything about Good Omens, but if I had to choose one thing, one single thing, it would be that Crowley is the Serpent of Eden. The show means nothing without it.

Do you ever think about how Aziraphale is a huge fan of Crowley's work? The collective output of knowledge and creativity of the human race is the direct result of the Fall from Eden.

If you already know who Alton Brown is, I assume you have been in mourning since the demise of Good Eats and will want to proceed immediately to the videos below. Please, enjoy.

If you do not know who Alton Brown is, 1) you poor thing, and 2) Alton Brown is the most fantastically geeky TV chef whose show, Good Eats, ran for something like ten seasons, during which he tried to answer the question of The Single Best Way to cook anything and everything, using science, sock puppets, strange MacGyvered kitchen contraptions, and some incredibly corny sketch comedy. His show ended several years ago, and the world is much the worse for it. But, since then, Alton has been doing a stage tour and, occasionally, posting some really great YouTube.

I give you, Champagne Saber Time:



Oh yes.

Kimchi is tasty, spicy, and good for you. Nom, nom, nom!

. . . ok, so that's not actually my rec, though kimchi is pretty great, it's true. Try the radish kind.

Eat Your Kimchi is a YouTube chanel by Canadians Simon and Martina, who lived for seven years in Korea before recently moving to Tokyo, Japan (their channel is since renamed to Simon and Martina). Their enormous archive of videos covers food, sightseeing, weird Asian product finds, commentary about Korean and Japanese cultures, and random slice-of-life stuff. Simon and Martina are adorable dorks with an eccentric sense of fashion and an immense sense of fun and adventure. Also they give their recurring segments suggestive acronym titles:



Guys, I have lost days binge-watching their videos. And they've really kicked their game up a notch since moving. Eat Your Sushi, their weekly segments documenting their first six months in Japan, would not be a bad place to start at all.
