SUMMARY:Drive-In Drums at Drumraw
DESCRIPTION:The Twelfth would really not be the Twelfth without the sound of the lambed drum. This year it is one instrument that won’t be affected by social distancing as you are probably advised to stand back at least two metres normally. The Independent Twelfth has been welcoming more dunning parties over the last few years and it has a long tradition of lambed drumming with the Wilkinson Family one of the original Lambeg Drum makers of Ulster. \nThe lambeg legend is that this giant of drums came over with King William to Ireland\, and on that morning of the Battle of the Boyne the sound of a wren pecking crumbs off the head of a drum awoke the drummer who signalled the alarm and ensured a primitive attack by the Jacobites was foiled. However like all great legends this story has grown over time. It makes for a great tale\, but any drum man will tell you it couldn’t have happened like that – for sure no drummer would love the head of his drum open to the elements much less a hungry bird!  However like many myths there is a central truth\, William’s army many have brought a larger style of drum used by his Dutch Blue Guards. Like the legend the drum did now over time and probably as one drum maker sought to outdo the others they built bigger and bigger drums. In fact the only things that stopped the drums getting even bigger was the ability of one man to carry them and the limit to the size of a goatskin\, for no matter how much you can wet and stretch it they are bound but the size of the animal. \nThis year like every other Twelfth as far back as men can remember\, the drums have been pulled in preparation for the Twelfth. Of course this year social distancing was observed but the same traditions and techniques had to be used. The result is that the men of McNeillstown and Drumraw will be heard even if they can’t be seen on the roads. Members will meet at Drumraw Hall to let the drums sing on the Twelfth and while we are not advertising the event as a public event due to public restrictions\, it is one instrument that you can enjoy from your car. So we will be hosting a Drive-in Drum Session on the Twelfth. \n  \n\n

SUMMARY:Thought for the Day
DESCRIPTION:It was at 11pm on 4th August 1914 that British Forces engaged in open combat and World War One or the Great War as it is commonly know commenced. Thousands upon thousands of young men would leave their homeland to fight for our freedoms\, liberties and British way of life.\n \nUntold thousands would never return home again.  Our nation was to be robbed of a young generation who paid the Supreme Sacrifice and  would give their lives on the battlefields of France. \n \nOn the Centenary on Monday 4th August 2014\, the Cullybackey Branch of the Royal British Legion\, along with a number of supporters gathered around the War Memorial in the Village of Cullybackey\, their purpose was to pay tribute to and remember those who had fallen but would never be forgotten.  This was part of a National Act of Reflection and Remembrance as people gathered throughout the nation around Cenotaphs and War Memorials to pay tribute to those who in a bye gone age defended our honour.\n \nThe Chairman of the Royal British Legion Major ( retd ) Bill Canning welcomed all assembled to the short service. Two minutes silence was then observed after which a lone Piper played a lament.\n \nIt was my great privilege and honour to bring just a few thoughts from Gods precious Word. We considered the bible text written upon the head stone of Noel Chavasse who was a recipient of not one but two Victoria Crosses\, and was the most decorated soldier in World War One.\n \nThe Text was    ” Greater love hath no man than this\, that a man lay down his life for his friends ” John 15 v 3 \n \nNo Greater Love than the Love of Christ \n– A Love that brought him from the realms of Glory and took him to Calvary’s Cross\n \nNo Greater Man than the Person of Christ \n– He was God incarnate\, God manifest in the flesh\, in him dwelt all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.\n \nNo Greater Life than the Life of Christ\n– He was the Sinless Spotless Son of God\, who gave his life a ransom for the many\, and bore our sins in his own body on the tree.\n \nNo Greater Friend than the Lord Jesus Christ  \n– The Bible says that he is a friend that sticketh closer than any brother.\n

SUMMARY:Twelfth Morning Breakfast
DESCRIPTION:To get your Big Day started lets have a great breakfast as friends gather. We are bring home the bacon\, eggs\, soda bread and all you need to have the Big Breakfast at home this year. Whether it is the Twelfth Morning or any day of the week we look at ways to make the traditional and a health alternative to the much loved Ulster fry. Each year before the Twelfth the ladies serve up much more than just an amazing breakfast\, but as part of the annual Twelfth Festival there is a great line up of entertainment and crack. \nSo as the sausages are sizzling and the bacon crisping you can enjoy some of the acts from previous years. Who could forget the mights ‘Hounds of Ulster’ as they listed the roof and got us all on our feet. \nhttps://iloi.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/1080p-2-1.mp4\n  \nThe tables are set for the next Big Breakfast when we are able to safely meet and enjoy it so until then we hope that you will make do with the sights and sounds of previous years and your own home cooking. \n  \nhttps://iloi.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/1080p.mp4\n  \nOrigins of the Ulster Fry \n\n\nThe fried breakfast is by no means unique to Ulster\, across the border they have the full Irish\, there’s the full English and Welsh\, with most regions of Britain and Ireland having their own variation on the fry-up. It might just be the time of year\, but we think the Ulster Fry has the others beat.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNothing new\n\n\nThe fry is very much a Victorian invention. One of the most famous Victorian cookbooks\, Mrs Beeton’s Book of Household Management\, listed a selection of the best cooked breakfast foods. Cooked breakfast was less common before the Victorian era than it is today\, but we have Mrs Beeton to thank for adding bacon and eggs to the world’s breakfast repertoire. What we think of as the traditional fried breakfast came into its own after World War II. As well as being known as the ‘Full English’\, the phrase ‘Full Monty’ is sometimes used instead\, owing to the fact general Bernard ‘Monty’ Montgomery supposedly started every day with a hearty English breakfast. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat’s the difference?\n\n\nBacon\, eggs and sausages (all fried) are common ingredients across all fry-ups\, but everything else is a matter of contention. The purist’s Ulster Fry consists of bacon\, eggs\, sausages\, black pudding and\, most importantly\, both potato bread and soda bread. Baked beans\, fried tomato\, mushrooms\, and white pudding are commonly added\, but hardcore traditionalists might reject these. The biggest sticklers might outright reject anything that can’t be fried in lard\, but that position is growing unpopular as time goes by. Indeed\, as people become more health conscious\, cooked breakfasts are moving towards grilling instead of frying. \n\n\n\n\nUlster Fry Courtesy of Food NI\n\n\n\n\nBaking and eggs\n\n\nThe two breads in the Ulster Fry are usually served in farls (short for fardell\, meaning a quarter\, and made by cutting dough into four pieces). Potato bread substitutes potato for some of the wheat flour and is usually mass produced as farls\, while soda bread is made with soda bicarbonate instead of yeast and can also be baked as a normal loaf. Although wheaten bread (soda bread made with wholemeal flour) is often served sliced in restaurants\, sliced soda would be quite unusual on a breakfast plate. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaking Your Own \nIngredients:\n2 eggs \n1 slice of potato bread \n1 slice of soda bread \n2 pork sausages \n2 back bacon rashers \n2 slices of black and white pudding \n1 red tomato \n  \nInstructions:\n1. Place a small amount of rapeseed oil in the pan over a low heat which produces a light sizzle not a spitting oil. \n2. When hot\, place the sausages in the pan turning occasionally to colour evely all the way round. This should take approximately 8 minutes. \n3. Add the bacon rashers to the pan. Don’t turn your bacon too early – wait for the colour to appear on the edges. For a healthier option you can grill the bacon. Either way\, cook the bacon until crispy but not brown and burnt. \n4. Place the potato and soda bread in pan. The soda will soak up all the delicious flavours and the potato bread will brown on the outside and soften wonderfully in the middle. \n5. Use tomatoes on the vine as they retain their firmness and flavour for longer. Tomatoes should always be a little crispy. Cook the tomatoes for several  minutes alongside your breads. \n6. Put the slices of black and white pudding in the pan and continue to cook everything for a couple of more minutes – after 2-3 minutes flip everything over. After a further 2 minutes cooking move all the ingredients into a warmed oven and clean your pan. \n7. In a little fresh oil\, crack 2 large free range eggs\, place a lid over the pan to cook the top of the eggs for perfect runny eggs.
