Pancakes

[fivemack]

Strong Cheddar, sliced thinly, as always works well in pancakes. Manchego cheese from Spain, despite its wallet-numbing cost, is much of a muchness; I'm sure there's some specific recipe for it, but I don't know what it is.

Corned beef is somehow bland unless there's extra cheese in the pancake; Sainsbury's Finest Stewed Steak works fairly well but could do with another vegetable.

The old favorite sugar-and-lemon requires more careful calibration of quantity than I can muster; I ended up with lemon syrup all over the newspaper. Apricot jam isn't bad.

That was supper. Atkins will be spinning in his grave.

Yar-boo to Atkins, and what is wrong with lemon syrup? :-)

Thank you for these tips, which we'll be able to use when Transco arrive to reconnect our gas...

Melted cheese is the work of Satan. However, may I recommend cans of pie filling? Apple worked particularly well.

Apricot jam isn't bad.

As a new departure this year, I tried strawberry jam on some of mine. That was definitely a Good Idea.

For savoury ones, I had bacon mixed with a tomato/pepper/mushroom mush. That was also good.

How about mushrooms, shallots and a cream sauce?

Tom,
it looks like to know whether you are alive or not I have to check your "fivemack"! Busy and tough period? I don't want to comment your jam and pancakes parties...I'm just trying to contact you!
Here I am, anonymous and in Plymouth and still thinking that follies are a funny idea... it sounds like I might build a pyramid in my house just because none in my family have not ever had one in the living room. Complicate sentence. I think it is not clear. Actually, I learnt a new word!
Would you mind to write again the February 8th and describe Plymouth as a fantastic and exciting place? Otherwise, none of our friends will visit me anymore!!!
Take care. Hoping to hear from you soon.
