He really did a great job...the two year old enjoyed the fruit but wouldn't try the sauted vegetables. : )

A 6 year old su chef!  He did a great job and practiced cutting all of the vegetables for me.  Also told me that it needed soy sauce! LOL~ He was right!

gardening with grandkids

Grandkids are wonderful things!!! They helped me pick vegetables from the garden and later helped me chop and cook them into a wonderful vegetable side dish.

Julia Childs crepes

1 C. cold milk
1 C  cold water
4 eggs
4 Tbls melted butter
1/2 tsp. salt

Put the liquids, eggs, and salt into the blenderjar.  add the flour, then the butter. Cover and blend at top speed for 1 minute.  If bits of flour stick to the sides of the jar, dislodge with a rubber scarper and blend for 2to3 seconds more.  (I halved this recipe)

Crepe batter should be made at least 2 hours before it is to be used.  This allows the flour particles to expand in the liquid and insures a tender, light, thin crepe.

The batter should be a very light cream, just thick enough to coat a wooden spoon.  If, after making your first crepe, it seems too heavy or thick beat in a bit of water, a spoonful at a time.  Your cooked crepe should be about 1/16th inch thick.

spread cooked crepe with Nutella, jelly, savory leftovers ect...YUM!

Delicious!
