yummmm

i love crepes! :D

so today, i decided to make crepes for brunch for the family. the batter’s really easy to make.

just mix 2 eggs, 1/2 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of water, 1 cup flour, 2 tablespoons of butter, and a pinch of salt. If you want to sweeten it up, you can add some sugar into it.

so my first attempt to making the crepe was kinda bad. it was thicker in the middle so eek.. =/ but it tasted fine tho. so here’s my tip for this, pour the batter into the middle, then, using your laddle, spread it out in circular motions and then twirl your pan around to achieve that.. perfect circle look that’s even all around. if you’re having problems with spreading it, add a bit of water or milk to your batter. dont add too much tho.

also, make sure you have the filling ready. if you’re doing fruits, cut up the fruits before you start making the crepe. this way, you could just top the fruits on the crepe while it’s in the pan. otherwise you’ll have to take it out, then reheat it later.

when you’re making crepes, make it a little crispier. the toastier the tastier. when you have batter that’s a little thick in the middle, it gives it a bit of.. oomph. so you’ll have a crispy surface but a soft chewy center. if you like, that, go for it ;) [not too thick tho]

now i wish i had those professional crepe pans.. those are TOO cool.

and make sure you have nutella!! nutella is amazing on crepes

hey guys! so i haven’t updated in a while due to the fact that i went to montreal to visit my big bro. right now, i’m actually skipping class cuz i’m tired. we got home at 4 am. (yeah, i know, way to use my resting time using the computer and all). so my trip.. hmm.. i wouldnt say it was a great trip. lotsa walking involved. i didnt fall in love with montreal, sorry. part of the reason why i wasnt totally in love with montreal probably had to do with all the french speaking. i.. dont know any french. i have a basic knowledge of french. like how you pronounce words like “translation” haha. and je t’aime, ce soir, sortie, etc. simple words/phrases lol.

we didnt do much there. we visited mcgill university, old montreal, montreal’s eaton centre, biodome, and the olympic whatever. so to sum it up because i’m too lazy to type up all the little details, i’m going to type up a list of highs and lows.

highs
-getting a pair of red hunter rainboots!
-walking thru puddles
-getting lots of exercise walking
-learning that puffins can swim
-taking lots of bird and monkey pics
-skipping classes right now

lows
-my bro’s disgusting apartment
-lots of walking
-rain
-the 6 hour long bus ride
-tired-ness

so anyway, to explain my new name “abby megatank jetplane” << type that into the facebook search, yep, that’s me. so it’s an inside joke that we did just for fun. jetplane because i’m fly. hahaha. just thought it’d be really catchy to put it as the title of this blog. plus it sums ups my last week. haha.

anyway, imma go do some actual resting now. byeeee <3

that’s one of my favorite songs EVER. why? cuz it’s so relaxed and i think it really defines me. it’s my theme song. the song i’d have playing as my background music when i’m walking down a runway (yes, when i grow mile long legs). it’s also the song i’d play when i get a beachside hut that i’m going to convert into a lounge or a pub or even a cafe if i’m going for the whole elegance stuff.

bottom line, this song is my feel good song and it inspires me <3

(wow what a random post. i was just looking at pics of the beach and listening to the song.. that’s prolly why)

i have a splinter
Posted on May 8th, 2008 @ 11:05 pm

yep. i have a splinter stuck in my hand. you know, the little wrinkly area between your index finger and your thumb. it HURTS! so everytime i’m doing something, it hurts. and what sucks is that.. i cant find it! there’s no way i can fish it out :( all i know is that it hurts like hell and that i really want some iodine..

anyway, since i’m on the topic of injuries. i also have this huge ugly scar on my thigh. WHY? i have no idea how it got there.. but it’s ugly and it makes me sad. so i’m putting Doctor Burt’s Res-Q Ointment on it. that stuff is amazing. well hopefully the scar will disappear soon cuz it’s ALMOST SUMMER!! so anyway, i hope it heals asap.

and tomorrow, i have miss pms again with the pig dissection again. let’s hope she’s not feeling as anal tomorrow.. but i doubt it. she’s such a bitch omg. you know how like, when people are really snobby they talk and they shake their heads and their eyes are like, dull and stuff. that’s how she talks. with the annoying bitchy voice and all those annoying i’m annoyed at you actions.. ugh. also, like the way she rolls her eyes..

anyway, thanks for all your support!! i guess i’ll do something next year as my “senior prank” just so i can leave highschool w/ a good memory (: hehe.
