CRAP!

That's almost exactly how Crepe is supposed to be pronounced. That's what we made today, a lot of crap - oops, pardon my French! Crepes.
Crepes Suzette to be exact.
Now, I've had it before. Once at Kate Mantellini's in Los Angeles, another time at some obscure Haute Cuisine restaurant in Vega$. I actually had Crepe Suzette in a restaurant in Juan Les Pins in the south of France.
But never before have I enjoyed it as much as today. Am I saying that I'm a better chef than any of the guys that worked their butts off in the places listed above?
Hell no!
But the satisfaction of having it made myself, of having it plated just the way I like it, is heavenly.

It was real good - trust me.

We also made the dough for a Brioche that will be done on Tuesday.
To round things off we dipped sliced apples in a beignet batter and fried them. Delicious? Yes!

I usually don't have much of a sweet tooth but today was awesome.
