Letter to my MP

I know it’s an odd thing to pick on what with all the other issues I have with the government’s draconian plans for us, but the selling off of the woodlands has really narked me. The current economic problems are being used to sell us dogma led changes so we just accept them because they “have to happen” irrespective of any actual effect that they may have on the economy. So, the selling off of the woodland seems to be sneaking in “under the radar” without any of the (admittedly wonderful) attention of UKunCut or the unions are bringing to the more important issues of cuts to the NHS, or the refusal to sort out tax dodging.

Æbleskiver are a type of Danish pancakes and, more importantly an Æbleskiver pan is a present my wife got me for Christmas. here's a demo of its use. The pan (with bacon pan and vegetarian option pan) Pancake mix, bacon, Golden syrup (the maple got used up over the festivities). The pancake mix in this case: 300ml cup of milk, 300ml cup of Wholemeal flour, 1 egg, whisked together. Butter melting in the pan As the pancakes start to cook Add your syrup (or jam, or chees, or anything else you fancy in your pancake) Flip the pancakes (surprisingly easy) Admire your handywork while the other side cooks The whole ensemble 1 - The pan 2 - Pancake Mix 3 Butter Melts 4 Starting 5 Syrup 6 Flip 7 Admire 8 Ta Dah!
