Nothing wrong with that! But I think Skybird is on to something here. Not that I eat steak and eggs every morning but I sometimes get bored eating the same ol' fare. Never thought to prepare a crepe in this way. Can't wait to try it out.


I make grilled avocado sandwich on sourdough. Sliced avacado, havarti cheese and peach preserves. Though not as savory as those above I might try that combo in a crepe.

Well i do like to eat smaller shrimps, even if i also like them in real life underwater. Did a lot f diving in the mediterranean sea, fascinating creatures to see and swim with.
I would not eat crayfish (crawfish in US? ->'Languste' in german) though, i like them too much, tree hugger that i am

Still have not tried out the baguette recipe Skybird posted recently, but will this weekend. I'm a fool for fresh baguette, french cheese and red vine, in this combination

I like scrambled eggs, toast and bacon for breakfast, but i try to reduce the frequency lol.

Havarti is so good I eat it without anything, just pure. Its like sweets, or chips - I cannot stop. Not even wine for me with it - just me and this chunk of rotting Dane. German Tilsiter cheese is in that direction, too, but milder and not as spicey.

The idea of the crepes above is not revolutionary, I originally thought of Wraps, Falafels, Pitas, Buritos, Pizzas. The dough is different with crepes, not so dry and stiff, but then it rips easier, thats why it is difficult to make a wrap of them that does not fall apart if you eat it while holding it in your hands, like a wrap.

I will try Asian-sytle crepes as well, like Chinese spring rolls' fillings. I also have something with thin slices of paprika and thin slices of roasted beef in a sauce of dark soy sauce, oystersauce, chilli and sugar on my mind.

Thinking about this really unsettles my mind and haunts my soul with unrest.

Fried halloumi is good, its almost like vegetarian bacon. salty and crispy, but some don't like the squeaky part of chewing it.
I'm convinced its the only thing keeping the vegetarians and Muslims from dying of bacon deficiency.
Oh crap, was that hate speech? I really don't know anymore

Anyway its good with tomato and avacado in a begal, and if you don't have high cholesteral, chuck a fried egg in there too.

Certainly crepes and the way they're prepared is nothing new but it's new too me. So often I get stuck in a rut when preparing eats. A thread like this gives me incentive to use my imagination a little more than I have been. Causes me to visit never seen before aisles of the grocery store.

If that is so, here are two more hints to feed your imagination. Originally this video was not meant to be released "to the public", I trade such films back and forth with my mother, to get ideas about how to make it better, and then the vid gets deleted again. I wait a while with that. The first two crepes are not included in the first film, are new recipes, the other two are only crepes spinacci again. Note that I take the dough up for turning too early, thats why it is mocking me a bit. Lesson learned.



The spinacci crepes are my favourite by far, with lots of garlic. You can replace the garlic and halve the feta cheese and spice the spinacci crepes with salmon paste and lots of doll instead, this also is a very delicious combination.


Spinacci crepes rule.

[Skybird]

Next time I bake Belgian waffles I take a shot or two. For sweet stuff, waffles rule over crepes, imo. The one way with waffles I do as classical as it can get, with cream and cherry grout on top, with some grated bitter chocolate for decoration and the occasional "Oho!" effect on the tongue (some drops of cherry schnaps are not wrong, too, like done with Schwarzwälderkirschtorte), the other is a grout made of strawberry and rhubarb, with thick vanilla sauce over it like done with Apfelstrudel. Key is to use a turnable Belgian waffle iron indeed, it makes the dough more fluffy.

Well I made a crepe today. BUT! I used a spinach and beet puree. I used a bunch of spinach, 1/2 clove garlic, two tablespoons of olive oil, half a cup of parsley, half a cup of walnuts to thicken, salt and pepper to taste. Cleaned out the blender then...

Cooked two beets until tender, 1/2 clove garlic, added half a cup of walnuts and threw it in the blender salt and pepper taste though I prefer not too. Filled the crepe using two lines of puree one a beautiful green spinach the other brilliant red beets. Layered both with feta, rolled it up and chowed down.



Wife just finished surgery so I thought to use a fine puree for easier digestion. Too be honest though it wasnt all that, it needed something else though I would I cook it again. But tomorrow I'll be using up the rest of the puree in an omelet with some pico de gallo.

Vegitarian bacon? That's heresy!


Time for a Spanish Inquisition!






Confess your heresy and you will be forgiven.

I actually like bacon, but 3 things put me off from buying it:
1) its quite expensive for what you get
2) every time i look at it, i just think 'Tasty but Bowel Cancer' for some reason.
3) My son doesn't like it much`and the wife is vegetarian -and will complain about the smell for hours.

Also I'm just not that in to pork, prefer a nice cut of beef or lamb.
