Easy on the Ice

You'll have to forgive my lack of posting, but I road tripped it to Nashville, TN with my band Lucky Bitch and didn't have my laptop (major separation anxiety!).

A little background... Lucky Bitch is what happened when 5 of my best girlfriends and I decided to get together and rock. It started as an excuse to spend more time together and eat Mexican food (we are fiends) and turned into a legitimate debaucherous rock and roll show. With 3 of the ladies from the celebrated internationally touring Hip Hop band, Northern State (Robyn "Sprout" Goodmark, Corenne "Spero" Spero, and Katie Cassidy), the super talented Andrea Wulwick and Dana Klein and myself (previously a nationally touring singer-songwriter) Lucky Bitch is a powerhouse of creativity and energy...or as we like to pretend, a super group. So, after about 4 years we finally made our first record. It's still being mixed and mastered, but I'll give you some song titles to tide you over... "I Drink the Whiskey (All Night Long)," "Rock Ain't Free," "Fuck That Bitch," "The Lucky Bitch Blues," and "I Was so Drunk I Was Crying."



It was a blast of a trip. 14 hour drive each way, 3 straight days in the studio recording everything live and tons of laughing. We did have time for one Nashville landmark, The Loveless Cafe.

This is where I feasted on the "Southern Breakfast" which included 2 eggs, 2 pieces of country ham, 3 strips of bacon, 2 sausage patties, breakfast potatoes and a heaping plate of biscuits and fresh peach, strawberry and blackberry preserves for the table.



Let me just say, I LOVE BACON. I know I am not alone in this love, so let me add that if you share a similar passion you need to eat at The Loveless Cafe. It was incredible...perfectly cooked, somehow both crisp and juicy and perfectly salted. Pure meaty joy. They had bacon for sale in the gift shop, but I had no way to transport it home. I was desperate to try the jalapeno and cajun styles, but had to walk away. Anyhow, the rest of the meal was incredible as well with a special shout out to the fresh baked biscuits and preserves - but let's face it, the bacon stole the show.

I must add... I just looked up the Loveless Cafe website to share the link with all of you and found out that the bacon and hams can last up to 90 days with no refrigeration. Now I feel like a real jerk. I guess I know what I want for the holidays...

Thank you Nashville, goodnight!
