Ross' Famous Crepes and Vegan Banana Bread with Lisaaaaaa

Holaaaaaaaa!

So Lisa had a rough week at the office, and I've been feelin' pretty low key myself, so I thought having a nice girls' night in would be fun!  I told Lisa to bring a bottle of wine.  So, naturally, because she can do math, she brought 3 bottles.  That's fine, I guess.  We didn't get to all three, but we did choose one.  As the super fancy wine connoisseurs/aficionados that we are, we chose (deliberately of course...) the gewurztraminer.  So, the gewurtalsjdfl;jalsder (from Trader Joe's) is described as, "an exciting and easy drinking wine, more so than most any other white wine type.  You will recognize its heady and aromatic scent.  Gewuae;irjal;er is a very enjoyable wine to drink as an aperitif or with your dinner.  Relax and enjoy!"  It's quite possible Evan Johnson wrote this pretentious description.  Job well done, sir.

Tonight's recipe: Ross' famous crepes two ways - savory and sweet (a.k.a. covered in Nutella).  Lisa says the crepes were fabulous.  I say they were transcendent.  Here's the original recipe.  Soooo simple!  The savoury crepes had jarlsberg cheese, lettuce optional, granny smith apples, aaaand smoked turkey.  Soooo goood!  The sweet crepes had Nutella in it.  Lisa ate two.  What a fatty.  Geez!  Ross probably would've liked maple syrup, but we were in a chocolate-hazlenut mood.

Kay, then Lisa made banana bread... But because we're in Carrboro, we made super awesome indie hipster vegan banana bread!  I'm sure we could've made it even more hippie dippy if we added ground flax seed, but whatever, we didn't...  So anyways, according to the recipe, you gotta bake it low and slow.  I just wanted to say, "low and slow." You just set it and forget it!

It's done!

Out of its shell.

How one should live.

Then we talked about our high school days.  Mine were glorious.  Lisa's slightly less glorious.  But it's ok, she's cool now.  She coined the term, "hippie dippy."  Sooooooo cooooooool!!!!!!!  (PS - we're really tired.  But still HILARIOUS!)

Main discovery of the evening: Banana bread should always be consumed with Nutella.  Always.  It will stupendify your life, guaranteed!

Byeeee!
