FRESH PEA SALAD

Summer Pea Salad, jazzed up with crisp bacon and sweet cherry tomatoes is one of my favorites. It is one of those great salads that travels well and tastes even better after it has been in the fridge for a day or two. 1 pound fresh green peas (or 16oz. bag of frozen green peas)1/4 cup finely chopped red onion1/2 cup peeled and grated carrot1/2 cup finely chopped celery 1 cup thinly sliced mushrooms1/2 cup red bell pepper chopped fairly small3 slices of crisp bacon cut up (optional but delicious)1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded (I use a little more)cherry tomatoes, cut in half (sweeter the better)toasted sunflower seeds Fresh green...

Ant Trip Ceremony - 24 Hours (1968) review

Ant Trip Ceremony "24 Hours" (Collectables Records, 1968/1999)A super rare specimen, only three hundred copies of Ant Trip Ceremony's "24 Hours" were cut upon its initial release in early 1968. But the album has been revived on a few occasions throughout the years, so psychedelic fanatics like us don't have to spend entire paychecks to encounter its charms. The best of these reissues is this package, which aside from the cool music of course, is wholly legitimate and contains in-depth liner notes and previously unpublished photos.The first version of Ant Trip Ceremony was formed when guitarist Steve Detray, who attended Oberlin College in Oberlin,...

Pinnacle interview with David Mylett

Here's the complete story about their time with one of their members, David Mylett.When and where were you born? I was born in Liverpool 61 years...
