Was she wearing leather and spikes and carrying a whip? '-)

Best Dungeness crab we ever ate was at the dock in Juneau. About an
hour from ocean to plate. We watched our ship sail with a new load of
passengers and enjoyed the crab. <sigh>

I know. That's why I said it. They also are *nothing* like American
style pancakes. Not that you'd know.

I adore savory crepes but rarely make them at home. At home, I go for
simple: crepes squeezed with lemon juice and a dusting of powdered
sugar. I've also made classic crepe suzette with the orange rind and
the flames at the table. That always works to impress guests.

I love fried eggs on my pancakes and waffles, but with a little
butter, not with maple syrup. I know a lot of folks like that,
but I'm with you -- ugh...

I like my De Buyer crêpe pan.

For a particular type of pancake. A more generic - and a bit
old-fashioned - word is pannequet, which used to mean a relatively thick
pancake, just as in English. Now, if used at all, it tends to mean a
filled, rolled crêpe.

Whatever works for you. I have on e of those crepe pans. I think I still
have it. I used it a few times. I didn't have much luck with it. I have a
small non stick pan, a crepe pan and a small cast iron. When I make crepes
I use the three of them instead of the electric one. I find I can handle
the three pans to turn out a batch of crepes quickly.

I like to make a batch of crepes for brunch and then save the rest and use
them in small bunches, usually for desserts.

Like you said, Dave, whatever works... I'm too much of a klutz in the
kitchen to handle three pans of crepes going at once. :-)

Well, just tell him that it would be an inaccurate analogy unless
the egg were fertilized ... ;-)

I can go you one better. :-) Catching 2-3 nice Dungeness yourself and
cooking them up after a 10 minute walk home. I did this on a couple of
occasions as a "tween" -- my mother would be very happy to find dinner
a cookin' when she got home from work...

I just ordered last night the VillaWare (from Amazon) that Wayne linked. I
hope I like it. I usually stay away from non-stick items, but I don't think
I'll be eating many crepes -- if I get to 'really' want loads of them, then
I'll go back to the old steel pan I have, but I doubt it.

Thanks, Wayne, the temptor,

Dee Dee
