Crêpe Night

If there is someone to make delicious crêpes with, its the french couple staying at our pousada. My crêpe attempts usually turn out unevenly cooked, too thick and most of the time fall apart when I try to eat them. Laura and Bastiens crêpes were amazing! A group of us got together for crêpe night: Jen, myself, Laura & Bastien from France, Anna from Holland, Vicky from the UK and Greg from the states. While I cooked the bacon (yum!) everyone else chopped, diced and sliced all sorts of vegetables and fruits for both savory and sweet crêpes. Then while the rest of us enjoyed a cool beer or icy caprihina Laura and Bastien slaved over hot elements cooking more then enough crêpes for all of us.

This was probably the best crêpe experience you can ever have. The shmorgishborg of toppings ranged from bacon, tomates, queijo (cheese) and especiarias (spices) to mangas (mango), abacaxí (pineapple), Doce de Leite (caramel topping) and, of course, nutella.

Have I got your mouth watering yet? Mine sure is talking about it. It sure was a fun bilingual night. As it turns out my high school french is better then I thought and although I can't carry on a conversation, I can understand a good part of it. Thank you Canada for making all students learn a second language, it's about time I put it to use.
