While we had family down for Thanksgiving weekend we a lot of fun things planned for meals and yummy foods. We had work on our menu together for several weeks prior to our visit. I love to plan/cook/bake foods and meals...probably why I have a food/nutrition major. One of the things I wanted to try for some time is the art of making crepes. Since I am a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to cooking/baking the crepes scared me a little.
When Eric and I got married I got a special gift from Mark and Kris...a crepe pan from France.... Eric's family went on an overseas vacation when he was just a teenager and they had picked up a crepe pan for each kid and when they got married they were given out. So I have had this poor little crepe pan in my kitchen for 5 years and I still haven't used it. So when I found out that sister-in-law and her family were coming I decided to seize the opportunity. It was time to break out and use that poor little crepe pan and no longer neglect it. Have some one to help was great! She taught me the recipe and how to make and cook the crepes. After a few I think I really got the hang of it and since she brought her crepe pan as well I was manged both and was pretty proud of myself :)
Although we had the choice of sweet or savory crepes...the kids went for the sweet..no surprise whatsoever. Thomas has a thing with eggs and has decided he doesn't like them. He will tell me he liked them when he was a "little boy", so since crepes have a ton of eggs he just has a plate of berries....hopefully one day he'll open up and try them because they turned out really yummy!
