13.01.2022 Ralph called in this morning saying he has never found a recipe for potato pancakes the way his mother made them. I have many online (classic latke might be th...e one -- grated potato + onion + flour + egg), but there are Korean, Polish, German (Kartoffelpuffer) potato pancakes. Kartoffelpuffer can be enjoyed with sweet toppings as well as savoury so Pav may be opposed. The question Ralph has raised really is what makes a pancake? See more

11.01.2022 Saturday Night fever would have been a flop without the songs, what were the Beatles thinking when they made Magical Mystery Tour, and if it wasn’t for the soundtrack of Jonathan Livingston Seagull nobody would have bothered to go to see the movie or read the book.
