Last spring break I went to
Europe with my school. We traveled to England, Spain, and
France. It was so much fun and we got to try tons of different kinds of food. One of my favorite was the “crepes”, from
Paris. Our first night in Madrid, we got to make our own food with actual chefs in a big university in
Madrid. Our group was separated and divided into beverage, dessert, and parts of the main dish. My friend and I decided to help with the dessert, which was “fried milk” or what they called “leche frita”, it was so much fun baking for everybody. At the beginning i thought we were making rice pudding which is really famous in the Mexican community and ancestor of Spanish people. Well, ever since I’ve come back I’ve made leche frita, its so good especially with this champagne that smells like oranges imported from
Spain, tastes good in it hate it alone. I haven’t tried making crepes, but I’m trying to get all the ingredients to make one.  In
Madrid they gave us a pamphlet where the ingredients and instructions of our dinner. My project now is trying to make the perfect crepe, just like the one that I hate in
France!

I’ve found the instructions I’m going to follow to make my crepe. Actually, my kind of crepe is “Pineapple Upside-Down Crepes” I found this recipe in Food Network.com, I would encourage anyone to go there if you want a recipe of any kind of food. The recipe is pretty simple to follow, but first I have to get the ingredients which are:For the topping,
2 large pineapples, peeled, cored and cut lengthwise into quarters
6 tablespoons of butter, plus 3 teaspoons for greasing pan
1 cup macadamia nuts, toasted and coarsely ground
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cups heavy cream, or as needed
1/2 cup 151-proof rum
10 to 12 miniature scoops vanilla, buttermilk or coconut ice cream  And the instructions are easy, I think let me try to make it past the ingredients. Here are the directions you should follow:Line large baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside. Slice pineapple quarters crosswise, 1/8-inch thick. In a 7-inch nonstick pan over medium heat, melt 1/4 teaspoon of butter, spreading with a spatula. Remove pan from heat and allow to cool slightly.

With pan off heat, ladle in about 3 tablespoons of batter and roll around pan until bottom is evenly coated. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of macadamia nuts. Return pan to medium heat. Just as crepe sets, but while it is still wet on top, remove pan from heat and arrange pineapple slices on an overlapping circular pattern, completely covering the surface of the crepe. Use a skewer or fork to arrange any of the pineapple slices that fall out of place. Shake crepe slightly to keep it from sticking to pan. Return pan to heat, sprinkle pineapple with 2 teaspoons of sugar and about 1/4 tablespoon of cold butter, cut into bits. Use a rubber spatula to loosen edge of crepe and check underside. When bottom is golden brown, loosen crepe by running a rubber spatula around edges and carefully flip crepe over in pan. Continue cooking until sugar underneath begins to turn a light caramel color. Add 1 tablespoon of cream around edges of crepe, and tilt pan so that cream blends with sugar and runs under edges of crepe. Spray a flat metal surface like gree oven until hot, about 4 minutes. Transfer to serving plates. Pour rum into small pitcher or gravy boat and set aflame. Top crepes with burning rum. Garnish each plate with a miniature scoop of ice cream.
All this is said to take about 25min of prep time and 1hour to cook. I’m going to try this recipe in the weekend and see if it comes out like the one in the picture.

I think viewers might think bad if you have unwanted inappropriate things online. They wouldn’t want to come back and see my profile if they see something disturbing. Also,when posting pictures of yourself and people you know you have to be careful. There are many people who and pervs, you never know who’s out there! I do think I am creative in my posts and my whole website I just have to be careful what I post and in what I use. It’s better when you post things that are your own so you wont be worrying whether you are doing something wrong or you are defining someones work.

You have to be careful when using other peoples work and when you post your own work that can make you look bad. Your life can change in a minute when you put inappropriate things online, you always have to be careful. I think I have done a good job keeping my posts clean and appropriate.
