Santa brought me a nice new crepe pan for Christmas. I haven’t seasoned and tried it out yet, but my first endeavor will be this recipe from Allrecipes for crepes with crab filling, which looks like a pretty classic one, and would make a nice late-night supper on New Year’s Eve:

And here's a link to a video from the French Cooking Academy on crepe-making technique. This is for a sweet crepe with rum, but adapt the technique to your recipe:

Many recipes that I've seen suggest letting the batter rest for a few hours or even overnight, and here from fchem101 (a great food chemistry site!) is the reason why:

What did Santa bring you; and what are you doing New Year’s Eve?

The Forme of Curry is pretty unreadable. They ate a wide variety of strange food in the medieval period. Well, strange by our lights, of course. Porpoise was big in those days.

From amazon reviews:
“Great recipes for those evenings when you just don’t know what to cook and something appears dead in your yard. This has saved me countless trips to the store.”
ROFL!! I sooo have to get this book! Thank you sooo much!!
I don’t remember Laurel but Germantown and somewhere in St. Mary’s. (That’s a fabulous one!)
Dang it appears the Amish are doing the internet! This is a surprise.

Heard this week they sell venison in the Germantown Amish market and I want to try the venison jerky recipe in my The Walking Dead Cookbook. It actually sounds really good.
I think the one in Laurel is the one that used to be near Burtonsville.
Thanks everyone for your concern :) I’m hoping to have my sense of taste back within a few months according to everything I’ve read online.
I am having a hard time deciding which one of these I want to make tomorrow. They both look so good. I’m sure my family would appreciate either one..

I like the Cinnabon-type one. There was a year in my life when that was breakfast, every day ;-)
(That ‘vomiting chicken’ site is very nice.)
I was thinking that bone broth might be something that one can get down when appetite isn’t up to par; and it’s highly nutritious.
Yes, it is.. I like it. I’ve been doing research here and there on keeping chickens and came across it.
I make it from time to time. My parents used to make it when I was younger.
Right now it is chicken bone broth, with garlic, ginger, curry and a heaping lot of herbs.
When we get hungry we warm some up and pour it over rice noodles and top it with a squeeze of lemon.
Yummy treats stuffed w/ cinnamon-y apples, drenched in caramel and icing. Uses convenient refrigerated cinnamon roll tubes--straight from the oven, drench w/ icing and luscious caramel. Pull apart and munch--OK to lick your fingers!
FILLING Micro a min 5-6 diced apples, tbl brown sugar, 1/2 tea cinnamon, drizzle of lemon/juice (micro apples tender not mushy).
ROLLS Press out thinly each cinnamon roll from 8-count tube; center w/ spoonful apple filling. Roll up lengthwise; cut three pieces. Tuck in apples. Place three pieces in each cupcake tin – cut side up. Bake at temp on package; JUST lightly brown. Remove to counter---drizzle tops w/ icing and Hershey's dulche de leche.
ICING Add bit l/juice to icing included in tube.
Those look so tasty! I love cinnamon apples.
Here’s a new take on dieting
