This weekend we had a delicious brunch that did not include the Folly Beach Pier - we decided to try something different: homemade crepes! For those of you who are asking what is a crepe, it is a type of very thin pancake served with a variety of fillings. When we go to the farmers market downtown on Saturdays, we usually stand in a very long line to get a tomato, mushroom and cheese crepe. The Charleston Crepe Man has a very serious and loyal following. Sometimes we wait so long we even splurge and order two crepes, the second one being the sweet crepe, filled with chocolate and strawberry. We decided to go the sweet crepe route for our first crepe making at home. Using Nutella and strawberries we embarked upon this famous French tradition in our very own kitchen. Also present for our international food fare was our very good friend Andrea and her son, Sidney. Andrea is a French teacher (at Ashley Hall) and has lived in France several times so her discerning palate was a welcome addition. Chapel, Eli and Sidney built their own crepes and Brett cooked them to perfection. Everyone enjoyed a fine foreign treat and agreed - les crêpes sont délicieux.
