Nella cucina

We had family dinner last night, and what goes better with familydinner than family dessert? And what's a better family dessert than crepes? Nothing. That's what.

I have some wonderful pictures of our epic success at dessert (photo credit goes to Acacia, our resident photographer). We made two types of batter, plain and chocolate. We also made our own syrup using Nutella as a base, and adding - among other things - butter and Amaretto. I find dessert is best when it has lots of liquor and fat in it.

And because we thoroughly enjoyed our familial bonding time, we booked our first family vacation. To where, you ask? Belgium of course! For Waffle-fest '09!!! OK, so it's not an actual thing, but we're going to make it a thing. It's going to be the biggest thing to his Brussels since the sprout. Prep yourself. We leave in 2 weeks, and it's going to be fanTASTIC. More to follow soon - as we figure out what the hell there is to do in Brussels besides eating waffles.

Ciao Bella!
