professor x wants you to make a cake with fusilli pasta in it

last night, i was enjoying some food network before bed (food on tv before bed = good; food AND tv before bed = indigestion), and finally got to watch the ridiculousness that is SWEET GENUIS. the first time i saw a promo from this show, i think i literally did a spit take: 

i desperately tried to find the promo where he says "A FABERGE EGG" but the internet was not cooperating. 

sweet genius is just as ridiculous as the promos suggest. in last night's episode entitled, "glistening genius" (you can refer to me as such from now on), the sweet genius, ron ben-israel, requires that the contestants make a frozen dessert inspired by jellyfish, with the mandatory ingredients of tater tots and lemon candies. yep, really.

you would think that it couldn't get more absurd, but he then asked them to bake something using duck fat (shudder). weird enough? yes. but then, he presented the second mandatory ingredient and i fell off the couch.

sweet genius: and just when you are getting into your groove... FUSILLI!

THIS IS THE MAD LIBS OF COOKING, PEOPLE! HOSTED BY PROFESSOR X'S ECCENTRIC HALF-ROBOT COUSIN!

in other words, you must start watching this show.  immediately.
