i belong in the kitchen...barefoot
Yesterday I made a batch of turkey soup with my leftovers and all I can think of is how bad I want to go to cooking school. I love being in the kitchen left to my own devices. Music is cool and all but I feel the need to move to Paris and delve into the culinary world. It was fun serving up the traditional Thanksgiving dinner and just as fun the next night making soup. I can spend all day in the kitchen and I am happy as a fish in a martini glass. Speaking of martinis, I prefer mine shaken not stirred with a small raindrop of vermouth coating my chilled glass and the finest gin your horses can carry. Make it Boodles British gin my dear. Two olives please and one onion. Stuff my olives with impotred bleu cheese while you're at it governor. (He said "stuff my olives.")
I would be a vegetarian but i just can't seem to give up bacon wrapped hotdogs. As my favorite food critic, Calvin Trillon says: "health food makes me sick."
I will begin researching cooking schools this week. I hope to see you in Santa Barbara this wed. Or in sunny San Diego on Thursday night. Both shows are with A.J Croce and I am very excited. Lets have a toast and shoot our ak 47's at the stars and rub our barefeet in the astroturf while looking through old cookbooks and magazines from the 50's.

Speaking of AK47s... I wanna see the drug bust picture, dammit! :)
Umm... that last part? Is that a deleted scene from the Mike Myers 'Cat in the Hat' movie or somethin'? I heard that movie sucked donkey balls like a Tijuana showgirl.
I think someone had better warn all the cooking schools of your penchant for setting ovens on fire before they accept your application!

Why are you coming to santa barbara during my finals week, can you please do a show in santa barbara in like two weeks?
Best 5 months of my life was head cook at a dude ranch in Colorado, 40 miles from a small town, power run on a generator from 6am-11 pm, after that, pure darkness and stars. Solitude but with people around if you wanted them. Amazing time in the kitchen cooking. Try it, anywhere, even if you make it a daily habit at home, with friends, or working.
Checked you out on the web because saw you sing with Jewel about 10 years ago and didn't know who you were. Just found out, didn't I?
best of both worlds..except no 'real' hot dogs or bacon:
