Q: What do you call a man who’s gotten into a fight with his cat?
A: Claude.
Let me tell you something. Claude, the cat and you are going to love these pancakes.
Chocolate and bacon.
In pancakes.
Meow.
I made an extra piece of candied bacon to garnish the pancakes along with some additional chocolate chips. Looks great, tastes better.

This new song from London-based Iain Woods definitely appeals to my love of the stranger stuff. It’s from his debut album ‘Psychologist’.
Check out Iain Woods on his Website which is freaky and a bit disturbing. You can buy the music here.
Cheers!
