The personal assistant of the Smashing Pumpkins called me today to say the band wanted to try our food. So I drove over to a discreet old building in Santa Monica that currently serves as their recording studio with some food samples -- sandwiches, wraps, salads, and soup. Also a bunch of snacks and some organic teas and sodas in non-plastic bottles. They don't like to drink out of plastic.
Dave Matthews was recording in another studio upstairs, the assistant told me. I didn't get to meet the band members, Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlain, but I think saw them in session through an open doorway. I'm not really sure. I set up the food real nice in their lounge and took off. The assistant was very sweet and grateful, because we were promo'ing the food. How funny that I got to pick what they ate today. And if they like it, we may be feeding them all the time! They are into healthy food these days.
Recipe of the Day
Slightly Dirty Vodka Martini
Take chilled vodka out of the freezer and pour into a shaker over ice. Add a small splash of olive brine and a smaller splash of dry vermouth. Shake it up until your hands hurt from the cold metal. Pour into martini glass garnished with 3 olives.
