Cooking Adventure: Crêpes

The first time I ever made crêpes they turned out as pancakes

That was the Summer of 2010 shortly after returning from France

Now it's Fall of 2012

I'm donating crêpes for UNCC's Annual International Festival (IFEST)

The pressure was on...

I was so afraid that these crêpes were going to flop

But I was greatly surprised

The batter turned out great & gave me

nice

thin

occasionally crispy edged

crêpes

Now all I need to do is practice

Especially shaping them...

a few turned out less circular than desired

Nonetheless I am very content.

Cooking Adventure: Nutella Hot Chocolate

Recently I've become obsessed with missglamorazzi (and her love life) on Youtube.

She has a video on how to make Nutella Hot Chocolate & I decided to try it!

Pour 1/4 of the milk into a pan on low/medium heat

Add two spoonfuls of Nutella

Whisk until fully mixed

Add the rest of the milk

Stir until it has reached desired temperature

& is frothy

Psst... for the adults, add 1/2-1 shot of Coconut Rum

Enjoy!

Turned out delicious & my friends loved it.

Can't wait til the weather gets colder!!

Cooking Adventure: BCT

Okay, today for lunch I decided to go for the bacon.

The first two pieces were burnt pretty bad :(

But the last two pieces were crispy & delicious!

The thing about Hunt Village is that the fire alarms are really sensitive.

So you better believe I had the door WIDE open & the fan on HIGH.

Cooking Adventure: Grilled Cheese

Since Gimpus has been on crutches for about a week now, I've really been trying to help out a lot more.

Last night I attempted dinner...

GRILLED CHEESE

You can't mess that up, right?

Eh.

The very first sandwich turned out pretty good... but as the pan got warmer I forgot to turn it down.

So that next piece was really gross& tasted like burnt marshmallows, not exactly the thing I'd like to be dipping in tomato soup.

The two after that [which I gave to Caroline] worked out well too.

For my final sandwich, I flipped the bread & cheese all over the pan. 

It was a mangled mess.

At least everyone else's  tasted fine.

I must master one of the easiest college meals ever.

I'll let you know how I do NEXT TIME.

In Other News...

We decided to stop for lunch @ Prospector & got trapped inside because it was raining so hard.

Turns out, crutches are VERY difficult on wet ground & it's hard to share an umbrella with cripples ;)
