Thank you Daddy.

Nice one sir,

Id call this  piece "Shooting Star, Sure aint we all  stars trying to shine as best we can in life.

Your creative star shines this day.

Old Doll.

What a lovely simple piece.

Thought provoking  though. Time ? yes  ! Life is about time and how the  pendumlum measures out equal time.

The beauty of time is not to waste a second of it.

David Gilmore sure is not bothered by time.. he is aging with artistic class.

Be happy Mó Cara, time with fate can change all things.

Hi Amy,
Ill hopefully get to type this without interruptions girll  Its busy here this  weekend.
Ok i use Avoca brown bread recipe. Avoca is a shop/ deli. restaurant 5 mins from me here. There food is very high quality. Delish always. A wee bit more expensive but lovely as a treat. This is there   brown bread recipe.
{ Amy in my kitchen press / larder i keep dried gogi berries, linusit seeds, mixed fruit and                                           
   nuts, sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds.
i add a handful of some of these ingredients when baking bread instead of Bran and wheatgerm.. I also double up the ingredients to make more  bread which i then  slice when cool and freeze if i have no callers  ]

Ingredients 
6 oz. white flour                         
11 oz. whole wheat flour             
3 Tbsp bran
2 Tbsp wheat germ
2 heaping tsp. baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp molasses
1 - 1 1/2 pints whole milk

Directions 
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Generously oil an 8" x 5" loaf pan. Dust it with dried breadcrumbs.
Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add the molasses and stir in enough milk to give the batter a "moist but not sloppy" texture.
Turn the batter into the prepared pan and shake to level.
Bake somewhere between 6 to 20 minutes, keeping an eye on the bread to see when it has risen.
When it has risen reduce the heat to 325 and continue to bake for another hour.
run a knife around the inner sides of the pan to loosen the bread and ease it out.
If, when tapped on the bottom the bread sounds hollow, it is done. Otherwise place it back in the oven just on the rack without its pan, and bake a bit more, until it passes the "hollow test", about 10 to 15 minutes.
Slice to serve and accompany with softened butter...

Here's the simplest recipe for delicious toffee.. Place One can of unopened  sweetened condensed  milk into a saucepan of boiling water. Leave for about 3 hours. Allow to cool.  Its Lovely served with pancakes. Or place cool toffee on a biscuit base-  Melt some good quality eating chocolate. Pour over toffee- chill and cut in squares. Guaranteed a winner.. Its also a very easy way to make banoffi. by just adding bananas.

Roger ! ill leave a key for you as ill be with Amy scoffing those delicious Molton chocolate cakes . I dare not ask for that recipe as my cholesterol would skyrocket.

Thats a lovely wee song Chevo ! IVe never heard it before. I find myself humming it since i listened. Thanks for sharing.

Many years ago Bensonp, I caught my first trout mayfly fishing. on a river in  The county of " Cavan,
Andy, my sister-in- laws fiancee at that time, used to sing all Hanks songs. I can still hear the purity of Andy's voice
as he fished futher up the river. He always sang as he Fished. Unusual ! But beautiful, as his voice echoed with natures acoustics
around the hills, on a beautiful warm May day. I think i was about 19 at that time. _[ 20 years ago or so

Me darlin Amy,

I took to the kitchen this morning..  To bake me usual grain brown bread.  as i normally do.  I had collected my buttermilk fresh.
Then  i tried your biscuits ! Well, i was expecting them to come out kinda flat like the biscuits we get here ? Was i heavy handed  i wonder ? . I  had decided to make a bigger quantity.. Why ? Coz im greedy . I have lots of callers here so i was thinking ill freeze some. But they came out  of the oven like  what we call "Scones here ! Now, they are and whats left of them delishious. That buttermilk sure makes a difference.
Family called, ate some, and some more.
Some even took my browns home with them [ as they do ]
My neighbour  then called, she said " Lena ! Holy mother of God what are ya cooking, the smells wafting on the breeze Cailín [ girl ] are making me hungry !  She also needs her eyes tested
She then pointed to the biggest biscuit/scone  left and said "Put the kettle on m having that one. Well we did Amy, sat and chatted
about your recipe. Pat was orgasmic with the taste . This lady makes wedding cakes, so knows a thing or 2 about baking.

Ive taken a photo of whats left, before anyone else calls . Now i wont freeze whats left , coz there far to nice with good butter and strawberry conserve, with a big ole mug of cha. Yumm Yumm.
The rest of my day consisted of some bad ole news i wasnt expecting .
Your biscuits were a great talking point and will be a pleasure to make now all the time. so much nicer then the shop stuff.

Thank you again for sharing.
Where would you get it ? A great recipe  for  great buttermilk biscuits on an even greater music forum !

Ps. The bits that were left i made  A for Amy out of.. Look at the left side of the pics..

Thanks so much Amy!  for taking the time to type  all this out.

Friday i usually bake my brown grain bread. So, ive ordered buttermilk.. Ill be baking your biscuits also.
I used to drink buttermilk as a kid. Me mam would whip the hell out of it.  Smooth as a smoothie it was. Its definitly not the same taste now. but the local dairy does supply on request.

Thanks again Amy.

Good writing Here sir,

How can we sing the sacred songs
before we've learned to really love

Thoses lines are thought provoking..

Are you going to record this ? I'd like to hear it played.

Oh Dear !

Just seeing these replies now.  Your kind words make me teary.

I guess we grow from such tragedies over time.

Love and Light to you all.
