berry good



No matter how hot it is or how cranky I feel I still have a kid to feed that isnt aware that my moods affect my desires like his do to him - he wants to eat and thats that! These are not really pancakes and not really crepes they are somewhere in between. I didnt want the fluffyness of a pancake but I also didnt want the thinness of a crepe so I made pancrepes. They are the size of a pancake but pliable like a crepe and extra eggy. We topped these with a quick blueberry sauce made by simmering some fresh blueberries with a little sugar, butter and pomegranate juice poured over the pancrepes and dolloped with a little whipped cream. Healthy, decadent and food groupie (meaning it satisfies some food groups). Belly full of goodness and off to the beach we go - no photos because we go to play in the waves and since sand gets everywhere I didnt want it all up in my camera, I have posted beach photos before if you want a refresher, we even go in the winter.

Hi DB...these look so good! I love how you blended the two to make an eggier (is that a word? lol). I love pancakes and crepes, but pancakes can be so heavy in the stomach. I am going to have to experiment with making these.

I read many posts this morning and you must be a chef! ;-) My Mother cooked alot like you do, although never formally educated, she had to feed 7 children and boy could she be creative with food. She cooked a complete meal every single day until she passed suddenly on July 23, 2006. And like you, always presented it beautifully. We were very lucky children then, and after she moved to Florida 18 years ago, whenever we visited we were fed like kings and queens all over again. Her reciepe book collection and her love of cooking shows was what made her happy. She also met and had a brief friendship with Paula Deen (sp?) before she passed. I know that was something that was very special to her.

Thanks for all the wonderful posts, my Mother would have loved your blog. :-)

Blessings,
Kimmie
