| |  Music to Cook to
When I want to whip up a great dish , I love to play Westlife, anyone walking in on me and my boys will definetly see us dancing to Mack the Knife. I sing with a wooden spoon...its crazy, I know every Dean Martin song there is , Frank Sinatra , Louis Prima , Brenda Lee , Doris Day.....
When playing the mad scientist in the kitchen, its Kashmir by Zeppelin.
What are your 2 best cd's when cooking in the kitchen......

I have the radio going permanently, BBC radio 1. Local radio after 7pm But when I'm in the groove, so is the music.
Van the man, Dire straits, Queen and Fleetwood mac are the usuals.
Just as a BTW... Whenever i have a lot of ironing to deal with. The music is, and always has been Black Sabbath. Full blast. Even when I'm doing it outside on a sunny day with an extention cable. I'm sure my neighbours are humming along to Paranoid whether they want to or not...It always gets replayed a couple of times first off.

I love Dean Martin. I would give anything to have grown up in that era (I'm 26). He is the epitamy of a close to perfect man

B-Bop Era Jazz, some soulful Reggae or old school Dub depending on what I'm cooking. I'm a bit of an audiophile but if I had to narrow it down to just 2 cds, I'd say Thelonious Monk's Underground or Johnny Osbourne's Truth and Rights.

Depends on my mood but, if I have to narrow it down to 2, I'm going with AC/DC's Highway to **** and Parliament's 20'th Century Master's Collection.

Very interesting...................
Now I may sound boring, but tonight I went to Chapters (Book Store) and bought a Cookbook (Jacques Pepin's Complete Techniques) and while I was in line to pay there was a rack of new music out.....I bought Barbra Streisand's Love is the answer...
I listened to it on the way home and its fantastic ! If you want to listen to some beautiful enchanting music, this is it. She sings a few of my favs like , If you Go Away (ne me quitte pas) , In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning , Make Someone Happy , Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, Gentle Rain....oh its just too good.
Tonight I was in the mood to pamper myself, if any of you men want to buy the woman in your life a wonderful perfume, its Coco by Chanel, trust me.
I am now sipping a glass of 20 year Port, listening to Barbara and looking over at the cover of Jacques Pepin and sharing my big evening with you all. Oh yes, it was girls night out and I had Greek food tonight. It was ok food, but when you cannot taste the love , well what can I say ? It was just ok. You see I rank everything I eat on how it tastes, how it smells, how it looks, and if it makes me feel good. I also ask myself a question, can you taste the love ? I can go to a swanky restaurant with 8 courses and feel nothing, but there are other times when I go to a mom and pop joint and my head is trying to digest not just the flavors but the love that went into preparing the food. Do any of you feel like that ?
Well, enough of boring you all to death.
Petals
ps. Thanks for listening

I've always been a Chanel No 5 gal myself. But I totally agree with you, Petals...when it's time for pampering NOTHING beats Chanel. |

Rascal !
I attend the opera 3 times a year. Puccini and Liszt are my all time favorites (The classics will always be ) and the latest perfume by Guerlain is called " Idylle" , which I tried on last night as well at a store called Sephora.
I must say , its my next purchase there.
I had to buy Coco Chanel because it was... simply calling me.
