Soooo.... Two Saturday's ago my house hosted a Crepe Party. One of my roommates, Jen, hosted several of these when she was in school in Bellingham. So she decided to have one here and introduce us to them. We invited a ton of people and told everyone to bring a topping of their choice. We supplied the crepes. It turned out really well and we had a lot of people come. We had lots of toppings, and in total made about 160 crepes. It felt like a lot. My mom made crepes for one of my brothers wedding receptions and made about 1000, so I felt her pain a little bit when I took my turn making crepes for the night. I have tried making them once before by myself and they turned out terrible. But I took my turn at the stove and by the end of the night was able to make them do three flips, behind my back, no hands, eyes closed. Not really, but they turned out pretty good. Statistics for the night: 32 guests at highest count ( correction, 36), 6 crepes highest number eaten by one person, 160 crepes total made, 8 batches of crepe batter made, 7 hours of partying had, innumerable amounts of fun.
And of course, here are the pictures from the night:

Happy full tummies!
Charity broke out the guitar and sang some of her original songs. Everyone loved it because she is so wickedly talented!
After the crepes had digested we broke out some mint cookes like the Grasshopper Cookies, and some hot chocolate. If you have never done this, stop what you are doing, go to the store, buy the ingredients and try it! What you do is nibble a small amount off the cookie at both ends. Dip one end in the hot chocolate and suck like you would through a straw. When you get hot chocolate return, stop. Pop the cookie in your mouth and enjoy the heavenly bliss that takes place in your mouth following said actions. And here we are enjoying this bliss:
