crepes suzette with nutella filling
This week we celebrated my birthday and I woke up to this!! Crepes suzette, with nutella inside each crepe. Chocolate and oranges go so well together. You'll find the recipe after the jump.
We also went out to dinner to the The Lingnan. I was craving some "crack chicken". You know what that is if you actually eat out at Chicken for Lunch or watch the Family Restauraunt: The Quons on the Food Network channel. Unfortunately, I completely forgot to take pictures of the food. I was so hungry when it came, I just dug in. I'm lucky I got leftovers too. Instead, I leave you pictures of the funny looking fish in their aquarium, me and the kiddos were mesmerized by them...
(a pregnant teenager fish with acne problems and well, ET... call home...)
Then I came home to some yummy dessert and a rendition of Happy Birthday that would definitely be considered a "pass" on American Idol auditions, but I loved it. The Safeway label on the dessert container said "Mocambo single serve dessert". Mocambo must mean decadent chocolate heaven because that's what it was. Yummy and rich.
I'm spoiled rotten. Feels good to be me :)

Heat a nonstick pan, melt 1 tsp butter over moderate heat. Pour in 2 or 3 tablespoons of batter. Cook the crepe until it is golden brown on the bottom; then flip it, using a spatula. Remove when golden brown on both sides. Continue until all the batter is used up
* we use margarine most of the time and it turns out just as well, shhhh, don't tell wolfgang :)

75 ml/2.5fl oz orange juice & pulp (from 1-2 medium oranges)
