COOKING WITH THE RAMONES

[defrog]

Like many of you, when I cook a pasta dish and I’m stuck for ideas on a sauce, I think to myself, “What would Marky Ramone put on this?”

Now I know.

From a recent interview with Marky:

“People I knew were like, ‘are you kidding me, you’re a DJ not a chef!’ And so I said, ‘why not?’ says Marky. “It always thrilled me to see him, my grandpa, cook. I had always wanted to do it, and so I went for the opportunity. It was new and I like doing new things. I tested the waters first, and people really liked it, so I’m saying ‘hey, if you want more you can have it!’”

Ramone says that he will be donating the earnings from his sauce.

“The charity I am going to send it to will be one that goes to the soldiers coming home from Iraq who need it. And some will go to the families who’ve lost husbands and wives in the war,” says Ramone.

Which is nice.

There’s a joke here somewhere about starting up a band with Joe Perry and Michael Anthony, but I’m too medicated to do it justice.

Gimme gimme sauce treatment,
