recipe

I made some dessert crepes for Mitch and I (well we tryed the crepes came out kind of clumsy) then the next day Marian and I made crepes with a better crepe recipe and they came out great and I used the left over filling from our date here are the recipes:)

the filling
Strawberry Cream
2 cups sliced strawberries
1/4 cup sugar
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar


Marian's crepe recipe
1-1/2 cups flour
1 T sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups milk
2 T butter melted
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 eggs

in a large bowl sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. stir in the remaining ingredients mix until smooth.

Heat oiled griddle to medium high heat. pour 1/4 cup of crepe batter in a circular motion so that the batter coats evenly.
cook the crepe for about 2 minutes until the bottom is light brown. loosen with a spatula. turn and cook on the other side. stack the finished crepes by putting waxed paper between each one... keep covered with a dry cloth until you are ready to eat...

when Mitch and I made them with a different crepe recipe they did not come out good at all, but this recipe for crepes is good and the filling is DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

book

I found this Elvis book at the thrift store, I learned many interesting facts about him like he was surrounded by people at all times and he PAYED them to hang out with him and they were at his beck and call like he would where pants so tight that they split and then he would just tell one of his entourage go get me another pair of pants I split these.....interesting....he also had a cook and maid on duty 24-7 to do whatever he needed them to do ... Elvis was spoiled rotten...and so was everyone around him... just an interesting read...

book

I read the book the rule of four which was supposed to be a page turner like the DaVinci code.... It took me forever to read because it was not... enough said....

book

When I flew to VA. I accidently put my book in the suitcase and I had to buy another book... so I got Tori Spellings bio: Stori Telling. I was trying to pick a book that will not end up at Somebodys attic that I can just take home read and then bring back. ( I am going to be annoyed if that book shows up there this weekend ..) Any way I actually really enjoyed this book and learning about Tori who I had never gave more than a passing thought to before. I indentified with her and how she had burnt a lot of bridges and made a lot of mistakes with guys before she met her prince charming and had two kids with him..... I reccommend this book it is a fun quick read.
