From Sausages To Soundwaves



One of South Tyneside's longest running businesses is turning its attention from sausages to sound, in support of some of music's biggest stars.

Dicksons family pork butchers, which has been supplying its own recipe meat products across the North East since 1953, has signed up to sponsor SoundWaves 2014 at Bents Park, South Shields.

The open air gig, on Saturday August 23, is being organised by South Tyneside Council, with performances by Scottish supergroup Texas, girlband All Saints, chart-topper Gabrielle and South Tyneside soul singer Lulu James.

Dicksons, which has 22 stores across the North East, including 10 in South Tyneside, is also offering an added incentive for concert goers stocking up on their meats, savouries and sausages ahead of the big gig.

Anyone who visits Dicksons between now and the end of August will receive 10 per cent off any orders over £5 on presentation of their SoundWaves 2014 tickets.

Elena Dickson, Marketing Manager at Dicksons, said: “SoundWaves is an amazing event for South Tyneside and one we're delighted to support not only with sponsorship but with our special discount offer for all ticket holders.”

SoundWaves 2014 forms part of a wider programme of live music and family events running throughout South Tyneside this summer.

Other highlights include the annual South Tyneside Summer Festival, which offers free entertainment and live music until the end of August.

Cllr Alan Kerr, Deputy Leader of South Tyneside Council, which organises both events, said: “Dicksons is one of South Tyneside's longest standing businesses and we're absolutely delighted to have the company's support for SoundWaves 2014.”

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

Image
A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid .

Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then
