Crepes

My attempt at making crepes was a complete failure! (not that I expected them to turn out in the first place). I love me a good crepe, but from now on I will stick to buying them. When in Ames I order the berry crepe at Stomping Grounds and in Italy, the butter sugar crepe that melts in your mouth - both equally amazing in their own right. My crepes, however, tasted like chewy pancakes. Here is a list of reasons why I think they turned out less than great.

1. No measuring cup. I guesstimated the amount of milk to use
2. No spatula - the fork/knife combo didn't really work
3. The mix was made from 4 grain flour instead of regular bleached flour... blah
4. Directions in French/Netherlands didn't get me too far .. especially considering I've never made crepes before

Given my lack of skill in the kitchen, I didn't expect a great result - even if the above mentioned items were in my favor, I doubt I had any chance for success.

At one point Justin kindly said, "Maybe we should just eat brownies instead :) "
