Since you asked:

"Therefore, to be possess'd with double pomp, to guard a title that was rich before, to gild refined gold, to paint the lily,
to throw a perfume on the violet, to smooth the ice, or add another hue unto the rainbow, or with taper-light
to seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish, is wasteful and ridiculous excess."

~William Shakespeare,
ca. 1595

Yup, that's us.

Iron Man Strikes Again...

When I got home last night from Open Studio, Alain was at it again, seasoning a small oval cast iron crepe pan we found at a local flea market. He had his doubts if we would be able to rehabilitate this $4 bargain, but after a few slow sessions in the oven with a coat of light oil, it was ready for a trial run. Crepe batter was waiting in a bowl when I walked in the door. Here is a ladleful sliding down the pan...

They browned up beautifully, sliding around the pan and being flipped by Chef Jamar with ease. Here is one looking ~ and smelling ~ like perfection....

Another crepe gives its life for a good cause. We used some leftover cranberry, pear and lime filling from the previous night's dinner....

Open wide, here it comes!

Noodge, always on hand for Quality Control, edges out 'Tini to grab this little morsel...

Too much fun and so delicious. We are seriously thinking about just doing crepes for our holiday open house....
