A very good recipe for pancake races...
 Eggs and fat were once forbidden during the 40-day Lenten fast, so on Shrove Tuesday, the day before Lent, Irish bakers would make pancakes to use up their stores of those ingredients.
4 large eggs
1 cup milk (do not use low-fat or nonfat)
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla, extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup all purpose flour
Additional melted butter
Powdered sugar
Fresh lemon juice
Preheat oven to 350°F. Blend first 6 ingredients in blender. Gradually add flour; blend until smooth. Let stand 15 minutes.
Heat medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Brush with butter. Add 2 generous tablespoons batter, tilting pan to coat bottom. Cook until golden on bottom, about 45 seconds. Turn pancake over. Cook until bottom is speckled with brown, about 30 seconds. Turn out onto paper towel. Cover with another paper towel. Repeat with remaining batter, brushing skillet with butter as needed.
Butter ovenproof dish. Sift powdered sugar over speckled side of each pancake, then sprinkle lightly with lemon juice; fold pancakes into quarters. Overlap pancakes in prepared dish. Cover; bake until heated through, about 10 minutes. Serve with more powdered sugar and lemon juice.
Makes about 18.

A great ( if not dear to my heart ) article from Willard Spiegelman about the insane noise levels when dining in Dallas. Not in a club mine you, a place to eat. Finally, somebody has taken notice.
I knew I had tapped into some new roar in the zeitgeist 10 years ago when I went for an early supper with three friends to a now defunct eatery on Cedar Springs. We were the only guests. Music was blaring. I said to the waiter in my gentlest tone, Would you be so kind as to turn the music down, or off? He returned with the owner.
Whats the problem? she inquired. The music is so loud we cant hear ourselves talk, I replied imploringly. But thats the whole point! she said. Read the whole story here: dmagazine.com
