newlifeinstpaulPart I of my weekend update
Actually, this has so little to do with what was a great weekend it's not even funny...
BUT I'm lazy and need to channel my energy into adjudificating stuffs. So this is all ya get for now
I don't think I ever creped for any reason 'till Valentines Day '04 in Vancouver. I figured I'd eat a buncha food from open-air carts and restaurants with patio seating and WOW. Were they evah good.
So naturally--half-decent cook that I am--I figgered I'd make myself a few at home. They're really thin pancakes, right? So just thin out the batter, spread it all out and BOOM! Crepalicious, ohhhhh ho ho? Mais NON. All I'd wind up with are broken, kinda thin and stupid-looking pancakes. *headcounter*
I'd go to Magic Pan and stare at the cook 'till they threatened to call the cops. I'd stop by Williams-Sonoma asking for 'crepe-spreader thingamabobs' only to get blank stares. LP ascended to waffle-making superstardom while I'd be disguising Elephant Crepes in whipped cream.
In my desperation, I actually even *gasp* went to Epicurious and got an actual recipe. Yes. ME. A man getting directions.
And then? And then?
Crepes! Wheee! Yeah, yeah--they're not pan-sized. But they're all crepey.
Don't belittle my sacrifices...
...or those of others. Apparently, the shock of an actual crepe was too much for my nonstick pan,
which is now more of a nonstick bowl with a hole in the side.
Ya know, when you buy a brand like Tramontina, you fully expect to give it to your grandkids.
Then I tried to go all![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
skichik and take a sexy photo of my grub.
That went bloopy kinda quick.
Note to self: Whipped cream does this melting thing on piping hot stuff!
But I didn't much care, cuz now I'LL be the king of grade school breakfast time!
Peanut butter, chocolate and maraschino cherry anyone?
Crepes of Evil
