I love this. Perhaps the gentleman had a few Fearsome Gin & Tonics?

What a coincidence! Not only do we have a Scottish video today, but a Scottish Musician, too.

When I asked Glasgow’s Mike Nisbet what type of recipe I could I make for him, he replied that he would happily put his songs to anything vegetarian.

This dreamy dip definitely complies. You can throw the ingredients together in no time at all, bake for 30 and then dig in.

Cheesy, creamy, slightly spicy. So good.

Recipe from Anne Byrn’s “What Can I Bring?” cookbook!

The dip ready to put in the oven. I could have eaten it just like this. Yum.

What is it with Scotland? Is it a synonym for musical talent?

Well, here is more talent from Oban/Glasgow.

Last week, on Twitter, I saw a recommendation to check out Mike Nisbet. So I did.

That was one spot on recommendation.

‘Vagrant’ is the debut album from Oban-born musician Mike Nisbet released last June. Quiet and folksy with stunning lyrics, this music speaks to me.

“The only way out is in his burning boat”

Mike Nisbet-Not Long

Check out Mike Nisbet on his Website, where you can buy the album, on Facebook and Myspace.

You can listen to Mike Nisbet in session at The Pop Cop scheduled to be broadcast on January 15th. Check here for more info.
