Some crepes are better than others
My cravings fluctuate from time to time, and it’s not always rational. One time I bought two kilos of prunes, ate some for a few days, now the rest are sitting patiently in my pantry. Then I used to have a crush on chocolate bars, the result is an almost complete collection of Endangered Species Chocolate wrappers, but a few bars have been on my desk for over six months. As of late, I’ve grown a crepe tooth. A matchbox kitchen fifteen-minute leisure walk from Sather Tower, called Crepes A-Go-Go, is to blame.
A quick drop of sound sizzles when the spatula folds and presses the fluffy layer. The oversize pancake lies supine. The heat is low. The quiet, stout chef casually sprinkles some Swiss cheese and some pineapple; he seems bored, or maybe I’m just too excited. I like my crepe soft and thick. Heck, I even like my banh xeo soft and thick, no matter how many people tell me that a qualified Vietnamese sizzling crepe should be crispy and paper thin. I watch the cheese melt. The chef lets the doughy pancake rest a minute or two, then deftly folds it again into one sixth of a disc, sweeps and swings it into a clear plastic container. My five-buck-and-a-quarter dinner to go seems sluggish and content like a well-fed baby pig.
And soon I am one happy hog myself. The cheese-turkey-pineapple crepe is a rich and chewy mess. The first bite is so good I ditch the plastic fork (which doesn’t do much at cutting anyway). Pineapple juice streams out at the tip as I scramble to bite sideway, and when the crepe reduces to a sizable conic chunk I use it to wipe clean the juice. The last mouthful is as rewarding and lingering as it can be, my fingers wet with butter and cheese. But my embarrassing story doesn’t just end here.
I feel full, yet still want more, but I know better than letting the tongue fool the tummy. So I save the luke warm sweet crepe for later. And I forget about it. It sits in my fridge for over a day. The next morning, filled with guilt, I microwave my sweet crepe. Cut-up fruits don’t behave really well with refrigerating and microwaving, the banana turns overripe, the kiwi and the strawberry taste zealously sour. But the crepe still has its fleece-like texture, buttery, thick, and snuggly. The squirt of lemon juice gives a refreshing fragrant. I scrape off the fruit chunks, sink my teeth, and sheepishly smile.

9Дом Rick Owens воспринимается как бунтарский бренд запущенный в 94-м с чёткой антибуржуазной философией и фирменным стилем на стыке готики и рок-н-ролла. Сам Оуэнс известен объёмными драпировками экспериментальными формами и применением кожи в сочетании с лаконичностью и глубокими оттенками. rick-owens-moscow.ru Бренд балансирует люкс и бунтарство формируя вещи для людей предпочитает самовыражение и при этом не боится выглядеть эпатажно. На данный момент эта марка — это уже не только гардероб но и целое культурное явление объединяющее предметы интерьера обувь и подход личного нонконформизма.
10Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very hard to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and appearance. I must say you’ve done a amazing job with this. In addition, the blog loads super quick for me on Safari. Excellent Blog!
11Saya senang menjadi salah satu pengunjung di website hebat ini (:, terima kasih telah mengunggah.
12Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You definitely know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could be giving us something informative to read?
13I like this web blog very much so much superb info .
14Throughout this grand pattern of things you receive a B+ with regard to hard work. Exactly where you actually lost me was first in all the facts. As it is said, the devil is in the details… And it could not be much more true right here. Having said that, permit me tell you just what exactly did give good results. Your text can be very engaging and that is possibly the reason why I am taking an effort to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, whilst I can notice the jumps in logic you make, I am not really convinced of just how you appear to unite your details which inturn help to make your final result. For the moment I will yield to your issue but hope in the foreseeable future you actually connect the facts much better.
15Regards for helping out, wonderful information.
