Crepes by Suzette

Crepes by Suzette by Monica Wellington was a very neat read.  It follows a crepe vendor through her work day in Paris, with a few French words thrown in here and there. The illustrations are very interesting as they are mixed media and include a cartoon version of a famous French art work on every page. 

I grew up in Quebec and my sister and I enjoyed many crepe dinners.  I can't believe my mom let us spread our crepes with butter and brown sugar and that was allowed to be our dinner.  I certainly don't let Bear have crepes like that! 

Since Bear had only had pancakes and had never had crepes, we decided it would be a good idea to make some.

The book had a recipe, so we followed that one.  I've returned the book and never typed out the recipe, but any search for crepes recipe should find you a basic one.

Bear beat the egg.

Stirred in the flour.

I cooked them while she watched.

Bear devoured them.

Then she washed the dishes! She is definitely in a sensitive period for this.  She even gets upset when she arrives in the kitchen and finds that I've already washed the dishes.
