Another year, another pancake day. Ingredients 125g plain flour, preferably Italian 00 1 egg 300 ml milk 15-30g cooled butter, melted (optional) Making the batter Make a mound of flour in a bowl, add a pinch of salt and make a well in the top. Crack open the egg and put it into the well. Using a wooden spoon gradually mix in the flour from the sides and beat in the milk to make a smooth batter. When the batter is creamy, stop and switch to a whisk, at this point you can add the butter which makes more of a crèpe mix (ordinary pancakes don't need the butter). Leave to stand for at least half an hour. If the batter thickens in this period add milk or water (or maybe some rum if you're making crèpes) to bring its consistency to that of single-cream. Cooking the pancakes Use very little oil and very little batter. The pan must be very hot, heat the oil in the pan first, then empty it before adding just enough batter to cover the base of the pan When bubbles come to the surface flip...

I've got a Glyder album on order, Playground For Life. The tracks of their's I've heard sound like a modern day version of Thin Lizzy. Not surprisingly Phil Lynott's mother is a fan of their's too.
Northern Ireland seams to be a hotbed for new 'classic' rock bands at the moment.
Right then George and Mike get back over to my blog i've answered all your recent comments in order received...
Still, Whitesnake aren't the Whitesnake we grew up with. You need M3 (Marsden Moody Murray) for that. Back in the 80s, Coverdale went off to the States, in search of dollars, and created something which is still better than Def Leppard. (Cough!)
But, I do recommend Tommy Aldridge's other band: Thin Lizzy. Sykes, Gorham, Aldridge, and bass player du jour. Some folks say "it's not Lizzy without Lynott", but it's still an excellent evening's entertainment.
