Welcome back! It's your loveable dissonant overlord, and I've got some music news plus another recipe for you today! The music news is simple - Nakpat is very slowly starting to take off, and I co-wrote my first properly co-written song in years with the other guitarist on Saturday. I came with a couple of riffs, he came with a couple of riffs, I dropped his riffs into drop Bb (yes, I have trouble getting rid of the heavy, but that will make Nakpat more interesting aurally, so no real loss), we jammed off each other's riffs and jam ideas for a while, and a rough template for a pretty interesting track got made. I'm pleased that Nakpat is a bit adventurous without stooping into the bizarre.
Yet.
Hopefully I'll manage to contain my crazy alter ego and not drift off into insanity with it :P Time will tell. For now, need a dedicated drummer and singer.
And now, the fooding! I'm about to share with you the most shocking culinary secret passed on to me by my family... for you see, frankfurters work as a "proper meat" substitute in a lot of situations. My mom's spaghetti with frankfurters, predating my entrance onto this mortal coil, is arguably my dad's favorite dish. As such, I had the approach in my blood, and I whipped up my very own recipe where the frankfurters are present by default and not subbing for something else. Without further ado, the recipe!
