How in the culinary HECK did THAT happen?!?!?
All I wanted to do is fry some bacon to have with toast and maybe an egg.
Discovered a thick slice of French Bread that had gotten all forgotten and stale over night. Decided to whup it up in to a piece of French Toast for Molly.
In my never-ending quest to make a crispier slice of French Toast, made something not unlike a crepe batter to soak the bread in.
While soaking the bread, Molly decided she was starving. Poured some of the batter run-off in to a hot pan hoping it would become a pancake for her, it spread-out and made a crepe instead.
Needed fruit to fill said crepe with. Closest thing to fruit that we have in the fridge are two jars from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dotgirl - a Plum Conserve (plum, raisins and Walnuts) and some Booze Pears (pears that have been soaked in booze duh). Took out a pear and sliced it thin, put in the frying pan in order to try and warm it up. Ended up caramelizing a little bit. Poured some conserve over that to warm it up as well. Put some in the crepe, served to Molly, but still had plenty left over.
Served Booze Pear Plum Conserve over French Toast.
WOW.

Cooking used to be: put ingredients in a pan. Cook. Eat.
But then Ol' Alton got ahold of it and added equal parts science and magic to the kitchen.
Now you start to cook a hamburger and before you can say "commercial break" the magic has taken over and you are eating Yankee Pot Roast.
You reach for a glass of milk but before it can reach your mouth, POOF you are drinking an elegant punch that takes an hour to make, has 22 ingredients, 4 different kinds of booze, but won't give you a hangover or make you fat.
Last night I pulled an apple out of the fridge and before I got downstairs it had turned into a delicious Mexican casserole.
It's all Alton Brown's fault I tell you.
