A K-pop pancake


I have created this simple, but nourishing, K-pop pancake for those who like quick, but tasty, light meals.

It uses simple ingredients: a Staffordshire oatcake, cheese and Korean kimchi, all available from our local Sainsburys and, I am sure, other supermarkets.

The Staffordshire oatcakes I use come in packets of six and can be stored in the freezer.  When the time comes to use them an individual oatcake can be separated from the rest with a knife (be careful though - you don't want to finish up in Accident & Emergency).  The rest should go back in the freezer as they do not keep very well in the fridge.

When the time comes to use it separate the oatcake and soak it in cold water for a couple of minutes to defrost it, then shake off the surplus water. Lay it flat on a microwaveable plate.

Spread the kimchi (forked out of a jar) across the oatcake then add enough grated cheese  to cover the oatcake and kimchi in a layer about 2 cm thick (less or more according to taste). Use your favourite variety of cheese - I use strong cheddar.

Put the plate with its flat layer of ingredients in the microwave and cook on full power for about a minute and a half.  This may need adjusting to suit your microwave, but you simply need to give it enough time to melt the cheese nicely.

Take it out of the microwave - remembering it will be very hot - and roll it with a knife and fork into a fat Swiss roll shape.  Then eat it.

Rural psychogeography

I was recently introduced, by my son Charles, to the realm of psychogeography, something I really should have known about as it has been going on for years and, according to some, has almost exhausted its possibilities.  Usually though it is to do with urban wandering, so the rural dimension is, perhaps, a rare variant. However, urban or rural, it is new and interesting to me.  I won't try and define what it is because it is easy to look up on the Internet, but I have appended below one of many examples of the genre penned by myself without knowing what I was doing. Solvitur ambulando , it is solved by walking, a Latin phrase normally attributed to St Augustine of Hippo.  But quite what is solved by walking I am not sure, though it sounds good. Anyway, here is my rural psychogeographic text (from 2001): 8 July 2001 (A walk from Coleford in the Forest of Dean where I was staying for a couple of days with David and Vicki Thornton. I got up early one Sunday morning and, since ever

Psychogeog round Bevendean,Brighton, UK

Image
Yesterday in the August rain Jeremy Linden and I went to Meadowview in Bevendean on the eastern outskirts of the city of Brighton and, starting from map ref TQ33220608, we walked eastwards along a corridor of the Bevendean Down Local Nature Reserve (below) to the Race Hill footpath. Here we turned south and then up the hill past the race horses to the summit with its magnificent views across Brighton and the racecourse to the sea.  Close to the top of Race Hill on an unmade cul-de-sac is an isolated row of terrace houses called Bellevue Cottages built in the mid- to late 19th century. On the side wall of the blue cottage the owner had painted some impressive zodiacal devices.   After Bellevue we made the long trek down Bear Road with the cemetery wall on the right and open fields on the left, but much traffic in between.  At Bevendean Road we turned north and explored the Tenantry Estate - all new houses and turfed grassland built on the former Bevendean Hospital and its grounds

Chinese tea

I surveyed a small back garden on a slope facing the sea. There was a bank of grass, a patch of brambles and convolvulus. A late cabbage white flew down the road and back. There were woodlice and garden snails under the stones, even a few sandhoppers far from the shore. A Chinese woman from Beijing brought me a cup of green tea full of cornflowers, rosebuds and assorted leaves.
