Thank you for sharing adventures in cooking!! You’ve already introduced me to some new tastes! I’m now curious about buckwheat flour & will have to see what store here has it. As always, your pastel drawings are Awesome❣️

You had me at the fried egg painting, which I just love. Then you followed that with the buckwheat crepe recipe, which I am excited to make for friends. So many possibilities with crepes! Thanks for cooking inspiration.

Lovely, Vicki! Your buckwheat crepes bring to mind the ployes made by French-Acadian refugees who settled in northern Maine and eastern Canada in the 18th century.

I’ll email you a recipe! There’s an annual Ploye Festival in Fort Kent, Maine if you really want a taste.

Oh dear! Three beauties to wake up to this morning: crepes, pancakes with a fried egg on top, and most of all your drawing and story! First two makes me starving; the third a pleasure to savor through the day. Well done!
