Cooking With Ska Part 2

Five Iron Frenzy has a very good song entitled Rhubarb Pie, though it fails to give a recipe for the desert.

Well lately I've been thinkin'
about some good home cookin',
just like that I haven't eaten'
in the longest time.
Now I like potato chips,
please don't get me wrong.
But I haven't tasted mama's rhubarb pie in so very long.

Rhubarb pie, in the summer. Rhubarb pie, made by my mother. Nothing better in the winter, than rhurbarb pie after dinner.

Twinkes may be better, than a hole in the sweater, and a hole in the sweater, beats a poke in the eye. If I had my choice, I'd leave this gas station store. And then I'd travel back in time, and I'd sit down and have some more.

Rhubarb pie, in the summer. Rhubarb pie, made by my mother. Nothing better in the winter, than rhurbarb pie after dinner.

Looking at the picture, in the Sunday paper, of the politician, he's talkn' to the press. He looks like he's been eating lemons all his life. Well I think mama's rhubarb pie could save solve more problems overnight.

Cooking With Ska Part 1

There are a number of Ska songs that mention foods or, in this case, a recipe. The following is from Greenhouse’s Palabras, which I have on the album Skarmageddon 3 but, as I just found on Amazon, is on their own album, Tomorrow The World.

Now in a cup dissolve two bags of yeast
Let it stand and then proof and diffuse
Get a cup of sugar, of flour 4
Mix it up and let it stand some more

Get the greasy pan, oil top the dough
Let it rise and when...
Give it 25 minutes, 400 degrees
Some times I cut it up and eat blue cheese
