The ever-accommodating Jeff and Liz hosted me in their New Hampshire bungalow over the past eight days while I was traveling in New England on business. On the second morning of my visit Liz suggested that we have our late breakfast in the back yard.
Their property, which backs up to the burbling Souhegan river, is a relaxing oasis of pine, oak, maple, poison ivy and the nighttime flicker of fireflies (which, because I am a west coast resident, I hadn't seen for over 30 years.)
Liz prepared plates of cherry-filled crepes with slices of peach, iced espresso, olives, falafel chips and hummus. The hummus was later visited by a small spider, but it was noticed, carefully plucked out and sent on its
merry way before we got carried
away and mistakenly devoured it.
I hadn't eaten a crepe since my experience with some quite awful examples in second-year high school French class, and Liz's version was a revelation. I now intend to make crepes an item of my regular diet.
Note: Liz is a fountain of food knowledge and a treasure trove of information about good, healthy eating. I have asked her if she would be interested in becoming a contributor to this blog.
