I am accustomed to having crepes for breakfast, rolled up with the delicious sugar-bomb duo of maple syrup and brown sugar.
So a couple of nights ago for dinner I was excited to have my first taste of crepes in France, their nation of origin (at least I think so), of a more savory rather than sweet variety.
Words wouldn't give it justice but I forgot to take a picture, so I decided to draw a little diagram instead:
Voila!

Hey Ali!
Yummyness - could this be a new word? I like it. It could be spelled yumminess. No, the 'y' spelling is better so the word doesn't lose its "flavor." Do you get it?
Can you play with words in French like we do in English? Must be! I'm thinking double entendre.
Anyhow, the next time I make crepes, I will follow your diagram. Is the egg cooked on top of the crepe right after flipping it over? Seems like it might not cook through. I will have to check out your French cookbook to see if there is a recipe. Looks delicious. Better than la langue for sure!
Bon Appetit!
Mom
Hey Ali - I looked it up in your Culinara France cook book and it has a recipe and photos for making the crepe with an egg. You actually cook them separately. The recipe is called galettes and can be made with buckwheat flour. Will said it looks good so we are going to cook some "yummyness" for breakfast this weekend.
Love, Mom
