tomorrow is my sister’s bday!! and to wish her a very special day, i’m finally posting a recipe for crepes – something she asked me to do a looong time ago. i’ve been meaning to make them since she asked, but this quarter was a killer and i ran out of steam to try new recipes. but now i’m done! one-half of my masters program is complete! and i knew it was time to turn my attention to the important things in life, like crepes.
over the past nine months, mike and i have found so many fantastic restaurants in seattle: wild ginger, paseo, mykonos, bengal tiger, elysian brewing company, pies and pints, coa, kisaku, el camino, phoenecia, mr. gyro’s, and more pho places than i can name.
friends, i am officially burnt out. i have 3.5 weeks left in this quarter. and 4 papers, 2 exams, and 2 presentations. but i don’t want to deprive all of you from this amazing recipe just because I am exhausted.
i don’t know about all of you, but minestrone is my absolute favorite soup – when we went to italy, i sampled every minestrone possible, and loved the differences between the soups across the country and even in different restaurants in the same city.
it’s definitely spring in seattle, full of flowers (yay), memos (yuck!), studying for midterms (double yuck!), and spending time with friends in town from california (super yay!).
in lieu of posting a recipe this week, i’m passing along this link to mark bittman’s article about customizable soups. my dad emailed me this recipe awhile ago, and mike and i have been enjoying trying all kinds of different riffs on the recipes. we’ve even been trying to follow bittman’s suggestion that you really don’t need a recipe for soup (i know this idea isn’t revolutionary, but i rarely cook without one…).
i’ll be back with some recipes soon, but until then, try out the recipes from one and two years ago!
