Crepes Final Write Up
I had my inspiration to do this genre of project from
walking down the streets of Ybor. I saw a crepe shop and I thought that doing a
bunch of different crepes would be a great thing to explore. This idea was
unique, tasty, and I could use the recipes I learned in the future (I actually
already have). I had originally thought that doing these crepes would be fairly
simple and take about an hour each. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Each took
a minimum of around 2 hours and the recipes required me to do what I haven’t
ever done before. The restrictions of the community kitchen were very annoying.
These included times that the kitchen was open (pretty much only after 8pm) and
the limits of their appliances. There was no mixer so I had to whisk for 15
minutes, there was no sharp knife so I had to cut each little piece of parsley
by hand, etc.
Overall, I did gain a lot from this project. I have already
used the skills I’ve learned to make crepes for my sorority and friends.
Putting on Netflix in the background and cranking out some crepes is actually
one of my favorite things to do. My friend and I got together one night to just
make different types of crepes out of all of the ingredients in her apartment.
Give Back Final Write Up
I wanted to give back something that was unique enough that
a classmate wouldn’t have given back just another version of it. Instead of
giving back another variation of a cupcake I gave back something I knew that my
classmates (or pinterest users) wouldn’t have seen before. I gave back a banana
sandwich! This sandwich has been in the family ever since someone ran out of
peanut butter and slapped on some mayo instead (probably as a joke). But
surprisingly it was a hit! I love it and I know its weird but famous people
like it to!
