Crepes!
Crepes are surprisingly simple and quick. They don't take any special skill or equipment to make, and they don't need to be prepared the night before. Here's the recipe we use:
- 1 cup flour
- A little more than 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 1/4 tsp salt
Just mix all that together in a bowl with a whisk. Make it as smooth as possible. This will be enough for 2-3 people. Increase the amounts as appropriate -- I use 1.5x for our family. Get a skillet pancake-hot (350F), and spread a thin coat of oil on it with a paper towel. It takes only a tiny bit. I use a stainless skillet -- no need for nonstick here. In fact, I think stainless makes it easier. Get a plate ready to receive the cooked crepes. Put a piece of foil over the top to keep them nice and warm. Take a scoop of the batter with a 1/2c measuring cup and pour it in the center of the hot skillet. Grab the skillet handle and spread it out to a uniform thin layer. Let it cook for 45 seconds or so, then flip it. Another 15 seconds, and it's probably done. The first side should be golden brown. The other side will be less golden, but obviously done (not wet looking). Serving suggestions:
- Spread butter, ceylon cinnamon, a bit of salt, and maple syrup on the crepe. Roll it up, and eat the delicious spiral log of joy.
- Put a scrambled or fried egg with salt and pepper in the crepe. Add grated cheese, and wrap up like a burrito. Microwave it for 15-30 seconds if need be to melt the cheese.
- Slice strawberries, and add yogurt or whipped cream. Some toasted sliced almonds are delicious with this.
What else do you put in your crepes?

Laguna Seca with PDC
Beautiful day today at Laguna. Mid-50s, partly cloudy, snow-capped peaks in the distance, dry track. I decided before this event that I'd push the car a little harder than normal -- so there's a bit more countersteering in this video than others. Managed to pull out a couple 1:46 laps (a new personal best), then had a front swaybar bracket break at the end of this session. I removed the swaybar and went out again -- the car was surprisingly well behaved, but a few seconds slower. E36 M3 daily driver, 245/40-17 R-888s, PF-01 pads (like!)

Laguna in the Rain
A lap or so from Laguna Seca in the rain. Turns 5 and 11 present a good opportunity for playing with a bit of power-on oversteer... E36 M3 daily driver on Toyo R888s.

BMWCCA @ Laguna
A couple of laps from Laguna Seca. One clear lap, then Billy and Ralph make an appearance and I do my best to keep up... until Luis joins in the fun. E36 M3 daily driver.

Ed Levin Rattlesnake
I came across this big guy on my way down from a 9.5 mile walk in Ed Levin. I think it had just eaten something since it didn't seem interested in moving. It didn't shake its rattle, but it did sigh at me and took a striking pose a couple of times.

BMWCCA At Laguna
Another gorgeous day at Laguna Seca with GGC BMWCCA. We thought there would be some rain in the morning, but it stayed dry the whole time. I had two great students and managed to squeeze in some driving time too. This is a 1:50 lap in my '98 E36 M3.

Naomi's First Rollercoaster
She's now more than 36" tall, which means she can ride all the fun rides at Happy Hollow now! We made a beeline for the "fruit box rollercoaster" when we went there this morning.
