Roux
Roux () is flour and fat cooked together and used to thicken sauces. Roux is typically made from equal parts of flour and fat by weight. The flour is added to the melted fat or oil on the stove top, blended until smooth, and cooked to the desired level of brownness. Butter, vegetable oils, bacon drippings or lard are commonly used fats. Roux is used as a thickening agent for gravy, sauces, soups and stews. It provides the base for a dish, and other ingredients are added after the roux is complete.
Nux (Mad Max character)
Nux's character was named after the Latin word for "nut". If translated figuratively, it means "a thing of no value". Nux's make-up consisted of 8 silicone prosthetics followed by airbrushing, clay application and various levels of dirt. This make-up had to be applied 77 times and took 2 hours each time. Nux's imaginary friends named "Larry & Bary" were originally conceived as glove puppets by Brendan McCarthy. They were reinvented as faces on Nux's tumorous lymph nodes of Hoult's own design.
