Good dinners spice up dull days

Guys.  I am so proud of myself.

I had a very uneventful day doing more homework (with breaks to go to the store, take a brief walk, blow my nose, and make tea to get rid of the horrible gravel that has temporarily taken up residence in my vocal cords).  BUT for dinner, I had one egg in my fridge that I wanted to use up, so I decided to make crêpes.

And they were SUPER yummy!!!!

Feast your eyes!!! Aren't they beautiful?

I was kind of guessing at the whole thing, since I've never done them before, but to my relief they came out awesome.  They're not hard to make, but I have been known to sometimes epic-fail on my first try at cooking new things (the most ridiculous being a few years ago when I actually ruined brownies made from a boxed mix).  So I was really glad they worked.  I even made up an impromptu savory-butter sauce to go with them.  The vegetables I had were buttergemüse, or "butter vegetables," which are boxed frozen veggies that come with a chunk of frozen butter that has seasoning in it.  The seasoned butter is supposed to flavor the veggies when you cook them.  I decided to take the chunk of butter and melt it in a separate pan with a little bit of milk and a dash of flour (I didn't have cornstarch) to make a sauce.  It came together beautifully, and when each crêpe was cooked, I spooned some of the sauce onto it and added the vegetables on top, then folded it all together.  I made two savory veggie crêpes and two plain ones, which I spread with jam.  (I let Indra have part of one plain one and she put jam on hers too.)  SO GOOD . . . especially the savory ones.  I would SO make those again!

Super excited for tomorrow!  Marni and I are planning to go to the Körperwelten (Body Worlds) exhibit that just opened here last month.  We are going to draw as much as we can!  I went to the exhibit in California back in the fall, and it was incredibly interesting and so helpful for my life drawing!  I did some of my best sketches of the semester when I went to the one in California.  So when I heard that an exhibit was opening in Hamburg, I told Marni we had to go to it.  Tomorrow's the day!  I can't wait!

On another note, I looked at my calendar and realized I only have SIX MORE WEEKS till I go back home to California!  Where on earth did May go??  Where is June going?!?!??
