Pre- and post-fold. The tapioca flour doesn’t make a noticeable difference, or at least I’m not skilled enough yet to tell if it does. I’d also like to apologize to everyone who had a galette this past weekend, I was 1,000 miles away from the special gruyère that makes this thing really slay. I learned a valuable lesson about what to settle for, and the cheese ain’t it. #crepediaries #galettecomplete #galette #gruyere #cheese #dontsettle
Spring in Boston. For a minute anyway. #spring #finally #boston
It’s a good time for comfort food. Got to bring my crêpe game to WI and share it with my dad 💖 #crepes #galettecomplete #buckwheat #comfortfood #foodislove
Logan Airport doesn’t have a photo-ready recombobulation station or famous departure carpet, so enjoy this pre-caffeinated selfie with the only thing currently keeping me upright. #coffee #morecoffee #allthecoffee
Yesterday was a breakthrough. This might be as good as it gets (until I take a reconnaissance trip to France anyway). #galettecomplete #crepes #buckwheat #yum #testkitchen
Progress! Very happy that they are (approximate) circles and full of the proper tiny bubbles. #galettes #blenoir #crepes #testkitchen #buckwheat #progress
Il est arrivé!! 😃 As compared to the 10” pan, this 13” griddle makes me wanna run and twirl like Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music. And so many accessories!! I also was not prepared to be *so excited* by all the French superlatives on my package of Breton buckwheat flour. It is the flour of legend for always successful galettes and I am so here for it. #galettes #sarrasin #crepes #treblec #buckwheat #krampouz #yum #myverysuddennewobsession
To counter my last post about being a multi-dimensional human who has interests beyond a sudden borderline obsession with mastering the art of making crêpes, and because at some point I subconsciously decided that I would be live-blogging every step of this compelling adventure as it unfolds, the Le Creuset is going back and a Krampouz griddle is on its way. I love Le Creuset but mama needs a 13” surface and no lip. 😎💯 #crepes #galettes #yum #likeaboss
Proof that I am a multi-dimensional human with skills and hobbies that aren’t exclusively limited to thin French pancakes. These babies did a little round of musical pots and now everyone’s got a bit more leg room and the relief is palpable. (The dragon tree swallowed a drainage tray into its root system and I absolutely could not pry it free, so it lives there now. It’s probably fine though.) #plants #plantlife #dragontree #norfolkislandpine #aloe #plantmama #spring
Oh it was only a matter of time... last night I deviated from galettes and made regular crêpes (mushrooms, rosemary, gruyère) and had a few left over, so *of course* today I had to try my hand at a street-style Nutella crêpe. Because that’s what Fridays are for. #crepes #nutella #streetstyle #obsession #yum #letsgotoparis
Yes, I made an apron! I wanted something simple without ties or nagging neck weight, but all the aprons I found online were $45-$110!! Heavens no. I went to a fabric shop and bought $6 worth of linen blend and whipped up this cross-back pinafore style with giant pockets and sewed it together with rainbow thread and now I don’t have to worry about getting crêpe batter on me ever again. Because now I have a CRÊPRON 😆 #apron #linen #handmade #crepron #portmanteau
According to my extremely discerning text audience, these galettes were the best so far. Still lots of experimenting ahead. I would’ve done more crêpe science today but I was busy making the apron you see here (more pics of that to come). #galette #testkitchen #food #yum
