When I was just a little girl I was friends with a little boy His Mom worked for Julia Child On her tv show She’d cook up a nicer looking version Of what Julia was making on her show camera cut at the end And Julia would pass off as her own Mastering the art of French cooking I’m not even gonna try Leave the kitchen to the experts And the cooking to Julia Child Someone’s Dad was telling me back in the day this book Revolutionized American kitchens changed the way people cook So far since I’ve bought it It’s been sitting on my floor Revolutionized the way I hold my window open Not just a book, it’s so much more! Mastering the art of French cooking I’m not even gonna to try Leave the kitchen to the experts And the cooking to Julia Child PS what is up with her voice Mastering the art of French cooking I’m not even going to try Leave the kitchen to the experts And the cooking to Julia Child To Julia Child

Masters of The Table baby it’s no joke the element is near these embers hours do stoke the recipe is clear we are just two parts both live in our shells united in our hearts cast in iron we swell pleasure here is infinite when ¬¬¬the chef is able loving concentration makes masters of the table peasants, princes, presidents develop your own style midwifes, minstrels, magicians trial after trial tossed into the dark stirred by fate’s long limbs practice all the moves until the fire dims a tender golden oval where our souls collide smooth and savory our nourishment and pride pleasure here is infinite when ¬¬¬the chef is able loving concentration makes masters of the table

A list of equipment. Here’s what you’ll need. A mortal and pestle to crush up the seeds of optimism into a flour to dust everything that you devour. The readjusting of standards goes hand in hand with Looking on the bright side And remembering, we’re all gonna die. A wire whip for what it’s worth, Turns heavy cream into a fluffy mirth. A large balloon whip to froth and to mix with self forgiveness if you can find it. When you’re feeling bad And you need a hand Against the doomy forces Cheer up, we’re all just walking just walking corpses. Here's what you need. All friendships must be an eighth inch thick. Keep them fortified or risk getting sick From toxic reactions that tragically turn them into burdens as bad as family… Yech… Coping with decisions that you regret tou’ll need a forgiveness mill and a compassion press. Non-stick friends Non-stick emotions Non-sadness Non-stick thoughts Keep them away from kooks and non-cooks and don’t expect the surfaces to last forever. It's what you need. A list of equipment.

We've written & performed songs inspired by everything from "On The Origin of Species" to Dr. Seuss to Raymond Carver. There are BBCs popping up nationwide now.
