I have added exercise to my diet in the form of kickboxing. Not the kind of kickboxing class where everyone kicks and jumps to the crazy beat of music, I have no coordination or stamina for that, but a kickboxing class where some of the people actually fight in MMA competitions. My first thought was these people are all going to be young macho men full of themselves and I had no place being there. It was going to be serious and hard work. Well, hard work yes. I have never sweated so much in my life. Serious? Yes, a bit, but mostly a lot of giggling and punching and me making a complete fool of myself with such a varied group of people from young to old, men and women both. It was Fantastic! I think I have found my passion.

Does This Taste Funny? A Half-Baked Look at Food and Foodies
Michael Dane
4.3 Out of 5 Stars (16 Reviews)
Genre: Cookbooks, Food & Wine | Humor & Entertainment

FREE for a limited time

After many years of working in standup comedy, followed by a small nervous breakdown, I decided to learn about cooking at the age of fifty. Along the way, I found a little bit of sanity.

If you’re a full-fledged foodie or a kitchen klutz, whether you love to cook or live for take-out, if you’re craving humor with a bite, this book is for you.

Join me on my stumbling culinary journey, as I bridge the gap between Top Ramen and Top Chef, from ‘The Piggly Wiggly Cookbook’ to ‘Modernist Cuisine.’

If you like gadgets, I’ll tell you about everything from quinoa sifters to guns that shoot beef jerky. You’ll also read about two of the most important things any good cook should have: a cast-iron skillet and a catchphrase.

You’ll meet a group of performers who make music with vegetables . . . a man who has made the best doughnuts in L.A. for the past fifty years . . . and a tattooed, fire-loving chef with a connection to Hunter S. Thompson.

Find out how the host of “The Splendid Table” feels about okra, and learn about cooking a fox from somebody’s mom. My own mom makes a surprise appearance, too, and I even throw in a couple of recipes for good measure. Dig in!
