Blintz!

So, those cooking magazines have been inspiring. What can we have for lunch today? Ah! Cherry Cheese Blintzes. Never mind that I've never made these or that we don't have any cherries. I have several hours before work and I have a couple cans of raspberries I bought on sale a while ago. How hard can it be?

Well, blintzes are apparently crepes (really thin pancakes) wrapped around a cheesy filling and topped with fruit. OK. We can do this. But I need to rope a kid into helping me since... well, just because. So, I grab James and tell him lunch is a secret and HE GETS TO HELP! LOL

Did you know an 8 year old can make crepes? Neither did I! My dad used to make us crepes on special occasions. They aren't too hard if you have a Teflon pan, but they take FOREVER. And a Day! lol


Doesn't he look proud of himself? I told him I thought he was VERY good at doing these and that not too many kids his age have done it!



















These are the blintzes on the way to the oven. David did the wrapping. He has a "thing" lately about being photographed. I feel a blog post coming on!
