only teasing iaineasy

it's well known that the first one is always a 'duffer'... just the way it is (still tastes just a good!)


a dash of sunflower seed oil in the batter and rub round the pan with a bit of the oil and some kitchen towel and off you go... get tossing


you can't beat lemon and sugar

but fresh lime and runny honey is delicious too


or orange and maple syrup http://www.lakeland.co.uk/content/images/staticpages/recipes/pancakes.jpg

Yes, its one of the life's great mysteries - the first pancake does always end up a bit rubbish but they get better with practice. Hope yours were a success.


As whats been said before - simpler the better, couple of eggs, flour and milk, use butter, hot pan, squeeze of lemon juice and sugar......mmmm. Eat them warm and with lots of hungry people around (tu)

Oh what a lovely day it is today...I think I could be in pancake-mode all week.


Now how could I forget Crepes Suzette...? thin - check , yummy - check, simple to make - check. Same as previous ingredients plus freshly squeezed orange juice and a splosh of grand marnier (or similar), fold into little triangles.


Did anyone else notice the hoardes* of people queuing up to buy nutella in somerfield/co-op last eve?


PS. felt-tip, those savoury and sweet pancakes sound FAB (tu)


* erm...of about 5 (edited to balance unintentional gross exaggeration)


*goes off in search of nutella*

Ah Crepes Suzette! You don't often see them on a restaurant menu these days - they are so 60's/70's bistro fare! And you would order them - or hope a nearby table would order them - just to enjoy the show of them being made and set alight with a terrifying WHOOSSHHH by the flamboyant waiter working hard for a bigger tip. It doesn't seem the same making them at home, easy as it is, although you can glug the Grand Marnier/Curacao and brandy with a somewhat more generous hand. Just take the battery out of the smoke alarm first...

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertises times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
