I've been running DT for 2+ years now and as much as I try to, sometimes I don't get around to posting everything that comes my way.

...This doesn't mean I delete the items I have, I just bank them for weeks like this one.  That said, after my weeklong "Penn Foodies" series, I thought it was fitting to run what I'm calling my first "Delicious Leftovers" series.

This week I will be serving up some of the fun posts and videos that slipped through the cracks over the past 2 years that I'm sure you'll all get a good smile out of.

Look out for posts this week which include:

• some talented undergrads with good grips (you'll see what I'm talking about!)
  
• A MUST-SEE: the remaining 10+ Q&A videos with our panel from Penn in Pictures 2008
  
• random, very funny occurrences on Locust Walk (these never cease to amaze me!)
• perspectives of Penn's campus you may not have seen before
• an entertaining series of videos paying tribute to those who are a staple at Penn
  
• plus lots more!

Be kept in the loop and sign up for the newsletter below or follow me on Twitter!

My Penn Foodies series week wouldn't be complete without one last healthy scoop of fun.

Before Robert Gant (C'90, Penn Six) appeared on "Queer as Folk", he played the Good Humor Ice-Cream Man in a commercial!  

Who knew?!

Check out this commercial above and enjoy!

...And check back this week for another FUN series of mine that you will see is very appropriately themed after all the posts I've shared with you last week!

In wrapping up our "Penn Foodies" series for this week, today is all about fun food related videos.

Earlier today I posted two videos about a Penn alum being hired to impersonate Emeril Legasse.

Now I want to share with you two randomly and separately received submissions from Alex Petrovitch (C'01) and Matt Russak (SEAS '03) for the Heinz "Take 2" commercial competition last year.  While neither of them won, these are both very entertaining!

Videos after the jump...

Alex Petrovitch (C'01) in "It's What's Inside"
Dad is left alone with his crying baby- See how he cheers him up!

Matt Russak (SEAS '03, in blue shirt and tie) in "Superglue"
Tale of buffoonery between Mike and Will involving superglue and ketchup at the office.  Note the "The Office" parody of this commercial.  Matt does a good Jim, no?

On a related note, Alex tells me he has booked an appearance on the upcoming season of "24". Check out THIS Penn alum who appeared on "24" last year!

What would my Penn Foodies series be without paying tribute to a great chef?

Or impersonating one...

Jared Miller (C'97) recently got hired with five other guys to do some webisodes promoting Emeril Legasse's food products.  Each of the webisodes were shot as "auditions" for the best Emeril impression/impersonation each highlighting one of four product lines. 

Other impersonators you'll see in the videos include Martha Stewart, Regis and Kelly, Mario Batoli, Iron Chef Morimoto, Nomar, Mia Hamm, Shawn Johnson, and Sammy Hagar.

Speaking of impersonations, be sure to check out THESE 66(!) great impersonations another Penn alum did recently!

It seems like a guy who wrote a book about fatherhood should also know a thing or two about how to cook.

Craig Boreth (C‘91), author of How to Feel Manly in a Minivan: The Desperate Dad's Survival Guide has a new project he's wants you to follow.

That is, to follow on Twitter.

Check out Craig's "Recipitos: A Complete Gourmet Recipe In A Tweet" where you'll find some of Craig's favorites including:

• OLIVE OIL GELATO: Whip 4 yolks & 1/2c sugar 5min til very pale. Beat in 1/2c olive oil, then 2c milk, 1c cream. Freeze in ice cream maker.
  

• SEA URCHIN (UNI) CEVICHE: Plate pieces of uni (from good Asian mkt.). Lots of olive oil, lemon juice, salt & pepper. Good bread for dipping.

• BACON DATE BOMBS: Wrap dates in bacon. Pack snugly on cookie sheet, seam down. Roast at 400 til browned, ~ 12 mins. Turn, cook 10 min more.
  

• TIRAMISU: Whip 1.5c cream, 2tsp vanilla, 1/3c sugar. Fold in 1lb mascarpone. Layer boozed-sugared-espresso-soaked ladyfingers, cream, cocoa.

And Craig is no stranger to cooking. A few years back he also published The Hemingway Cookbook and went on to become a food writer for the Boston Globe and elsewhere.  The cookbook is a culinary bio of Hemingway, featuring more than 120 recipes from his life and writing.

Per Craig,

"I started the book after traveling to Paris and Spain after graduation. It started as a travel guide to The Sun Also Rises and morphed into a cookbook."

Favorite recipes include:

• Cochinillo (Roast Suckling Pig) +/-
  
  
• Bloody Mary +/-
  
  

On a food related note, Craig has been been developing a story about three fictional meetings between Hemingway and another famous foodie, Pablo Neruda (first in Paris in the 20s, then Madrid during the Spanish Civil War and finally on the coast of Chile in the 50s).  Per Craig, "Food, obviously, will play a key role in their tempestuous encounters."
