Zen of Cooking Lyrics

Dear sister- I used your stand mixer today

I guess you gifted it in a spirit lifter kinda way

I just miss you and I don't know exactly how to repay

But this right here is the only way I can work out what to say

Not to be a grincher but it's become a sinister holiday

It was a rough kinda year- everyone but Mr. French went away

So we had to keep the distance but I was trying to feed the hungry

2020 was perfect vision but man that shit was ugly

So it's hard to take and a lot to contemplate

I want it to get easier but I don't have an honest date for namaste

And of course its raw without your optimism on display

I told Mom it'll be ok while I made her a pasta plate

I'm just trying to season all the hurt to taste

But in a certain way I know you're proud of all the things I've learned to bake

I get the the hurdle race and how much can a person take

You don't want to burn to waste sometimes you have to turn to baste

I guess you got me back then when I wasn't even looking, so thank you again for sharing the zen of cooking

Dear sister- remember when you came up and saw me at Elixir?

When I was mixing for swingers who needed baby sitters?

I would put Flip Fantasia up into the bigger picture

Cause you loved to groove with the music and that was your favorite hitter

I'm still looking at what is and thinking on what it's about to be

Standing in the kitchen just in awe of the alchemy

I know you're swimming in circles off where Malcom be

So this is Serrano Cyrano just shouting up the balcony

I upped the armory got a scale and a Santoku knife

Digging into cooking not even knowing what I hoped to find

But I keep you close in mind and then deglaze with wine

I say it's fine but I know I stayed away and wasted time

So that's a deficit I know that I inherited

And maybe why I'm making dishes to have someone to share it with

No matter the cuisine- it's whatever the tarot picks

I'm just trying to sheen and clean the stick and carrot into carrot sticks

I guess you got me back then when I wasn't even looking, so thank you again for sharing the zen of cooking
