crêpes - or an attempt at making them
crepe mountain (darryl-style) vs crepes (cheryl, amanda-style) served with chocolate sauce, bananas and ben and jerry's (surprise) ice cream
unfortunately they tasted a bit too rubbery for my liking, maybe because we over-blended the batter... oh well. maybe we'll have better luck next time, or maybe i'll try out a new recipe - cassy was saying she had a recipe book expressly devoted to crepes! (: it was damn fun watching darryl cooking the crepes though, after scooping the batter into the pan he'd shake it around very violently in a bid to get it to spread evenly over the entire surface. violent chef alert!!
so the second morning we went over to amanda darling's house to try out savoury crepes this time, stacked them layered with something called duxelles, which is a mushroom-onion-milk-cheese kinda thing. pretty yummy, but the crepes were too thick i thought. oh well! i got the recipe from alton brown's good eats show, it's super amusing, you can find it on youtube (:
i've been eating waaaaaaay too much these 3 days, omgz. need to exercise. and eat less!!!
and stop bringing back cakes/apple pies from work!!! my family members are also steadily gaining weight.
