I am usually cooking at least four times a week if I am home. The easiest thing that I do a lot is gazpacho. It’s simple and it tastes best if you let it sit over night in the refrigerator… I don’t want anybody near me when I am cooking. If I am going to make a mistake, it has to be my fault.
I have a feeling there were many, many successful rock duos that just didn’t get attention. That’s the fault of the rock press. They are always playing up controversy, scandal, aggravation, and irritation.
