He ran to the fire and sat down gazing at the cornbread cooking golden brown. His heart and soul was in his eyes. He licked his chops and whoofed. “Would you like some tea, D.D.D.?”’ asked Miz Pinky smilingly. ‘And some toast” said D.D.D. eagerly, ‘‘some nice lovely brown toast smothered with garlic — sausage and marmalade. Oh, yummy, yummy!” . _ “Why, of course.”’ replied Miz Pinky. “You just help yourself and make yourself at home.” “Go ahead” said Flash, where that came from.” “‘There’s lots more But Danny remembered his manners. He stood up and bowed to everyone and thanked every- one for their kindness and hospitality. He pledg- ed many mutal non-agression pacts and outlined many spheres of peaceful co-existence and he promised to maintain a dialogue of information and safety procedures which would preserve as much as possible their quality of life. Then he fell to gobbling cornbread toast and tea and mix- ing with the group and generally doing what he really enjoyed. Life had lost its meaning for him long ago, just after his first toilet training be- cause he widdled on a rug. Just imagine having your nose rubbed in doing what comes naturally, “Ah, well, that’s all in the past now”’ he thought, “It’s the forest life for me and my harem!” TO BE CONTINUED “Canada’s most'talented folk band.” Monday Magazine, Vietoria “Their devotion to the people and music ofthe country isat least equal to the members’ need to have a rousing good time wherever they play . .. Gosee them, evenifyoudon’t give a hoot about national unity, Dief, reviews, dogs, the Ice Capades. Oranything, in fact, but that rousing good time. They're great.” Vaughn Plamer, Vancouver Sun “A joy to hear on record and even more enjoyable in concert... Stringband is a precious commodity.” Pau! Park, Ottawa Today “Besides playingafinefiddle, Terry King is afolk Buster Keaton.” Monday Magazine, Victoria *] suspect someday this band will be treated serious- ly. They represent a contin- uation ofthe traditions of folk music more authentic in feeling than anyone I can think of with the possible exception of Kate and Anna McGarrigle .. A Stringband set is to dance to and think about and feel for... For now though, it seems more than alittle silly to treat these people as a cultural resource. They are having too much fun.” Wilder Penficld Ill, The Toronto Sun “At times it was difficult to tell who was having more fun, the band orthe audience at the National Arts Centre.” Duart Snow, : Ottawa Journal “A Stringband concertcan be an unforgettable experience. Its atmosphere can only be described as homey and the music — rare. Combine the two... and you hae an emo- - tional experience that can lead you from despair to raucus laughter to pure delight in sound.” AT THE CASSIAR THEATRE January saw the departure of Charlie and Linda MacQuarrie for points south. At a dinner party held in their honor Charlie was in his usual good form. It is not known who started the snowball © fight but rumor has it that Charlie withstood the onslaught like the true Hells Angel he is before riding off into the sunrise on his: Gold Star Here are a few selections from that dinner menu. LA LAILLE AUX MORRILLES This tender young bird, so reminiscent of every- one’s favourite budgie, is bathed in a sauce of wild mushrooms. Soak a handful of dried wild mushrooms in water overnight. Season 4 quails and saute on top of the stove in a little butter. Deglaze the pan with some Madiera wine. Add the mushrooms, 2 0z. chop- ped bacon and % pint brown sauce. Cover with a lid and cook in the oven for ten minutes. LE DEMI HANARD THERMIDOR _ LE TRANCHE DE BISON PERLE NOIR This slightly exotic interpretation of Surf and Turf should be tried by everyone at least once in their life. During the times of year buffalo is out of season in the Cassiar area, moose would be a good substitute. “Stringband is one of Canada’s most inventive and original little ensembles- | spirited and sincere, playful and pointed, and possessed with a gift for incorporating incredibly diverse bits and pieces into a harmonious whole that is, not surpris- ingly, much more than the sum ofits parts.” Jecani Read, Vancouver Provinee “Let’s say it one more time: You deserve to tum yourself on to Stringband.” CHQM, Vancouver “One of the most distinctive and independent groups in Canadian music... and also perhaps one of the most culturally significant.” Doug Fetherling, Saturday Night “They search relentlessly for what they think is a Cana- dian sound. Not finding it they have perhaps invented it. Doug Fetherling,, Saturday Night “Witty, informative, provoca- tive and thoroughly entertaining.” The Regina Leader-Post “They're as rare as a sun- shower, equally mysterious and refreshing.” The Arthur, Peterborough “The best Goddam record .§| I've heard in years.” Herb Johnson, CHRP “Important music by Cana dians who did not and will not move to Laurel Canyon or Colorado.” ON Canadian Forum WEDNESDAY “The best band we’ve run into fora long time.” Jim Ibbotson, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Dining By Candlelight Add to % pint Mornay sauce ¥% oz. chopped shal- lots sauteed in a little butter, 1/8 pint dry white wine, % tsp. diluted English mustard, I oz. Par- mesan cheese, 1 oz. parsley. Split cooked lobster in half. Discard the sac, take all the meat out of _ the claws and place in the half-shell. Cover with the sauce and bake in a hot oven until golden _ brown. Add a slice of roast buffalo tenderloin, served with its own pan juices, deglazed with brandy and a little chopped truffle. . LA CREPE SUZETTE The classic flambe dish that everyone has heard of and yet so few know how to make. I first became ° familiar with this dish in my youth while working as trainee food waiter in Sunny Devon. The trad- itional recipe is so simple it is hard to see where so many people go wrong. The practice of filling the pancakes with butter cream is much frowned on by professional caterers as it has the obvious tendency to split when heated on the lamp. Take 10 sugar cubes, rub them on the skin of 1 orange to get flavor. Heat sugar in the pan, add 2 oz. butter, the juice of I orange to this mixture. Add 12 pancakes and fold them into quarters. Add 1/6 gill cognac and 1/6 gill Grand Marnier and flame. Turn pancakes over to make sure they absorb the full flavor and serve at once. Serves 6.
