    MEET JACK!


    he's the newest addition to the soul kitchen family!

    born july 28, 2005, 12:10pm, 8lbs 4oz, he is the funkiest baby ever to hit the scene. (TRUST ME, he's got some STRENGTH in his cryin'!)

    he is a HANDfull, and he is what john huie's been busy with!

    In other sK news, we're now searching for a drummer. minus a drummer, we all decided that we had not said our full yet! we're not done makin' the fun in FUNk, the jam in JAMmin', or the fun in disFUNctional.......

    we want to still cook food that really has an impact permanently in someone's soul. we will never back down from that goal.
