Musical Gourmet? What does it mean? As as owner of a DJ company and an avid cook I have decided to combine my passions in blog form, so truly you will never know what you are going to get. Today you are going to get both, food and music.

I love my work as a DJ but it can get difficult. I have a gig next month on Halloween, it is a wedding and the couple is cute as can be. Their musical tastes are very interesting. The bride wants the traditional wedding march played, but she wants either a jazz big band version or a guitar version. I have come to the conclusion that neither of these are easy to find, but I am always up for a challenge. Wish me luck.

Onto food! At my house Spaghetti is always a hit. I have a 3 year old and a husband with a tape worm. Over the years I have gotten bored with the norm spaghetti pasta, sauce, and beef. With this said I have come up with a completely different twist on the old classic. Enjoy!
