Hey. Wanna Come Over and Listen to Music aka The Bay Area Record Club Thread

sweet crepes > savory crepes.

[chiapet]

Not to change the subject, but I listened to this Jacques Brel record last weekend where he reads a Babar story on side 1 and "Peter and the Wolf" on side 2, all while being accompanied by an orchestra. It rules, even though I can't understand a fucking word he says. The point being, I might bring it at some point.

That sounds awesome. I love Babar.
Also my Peter and the Wolf record was one of my favorite ones when I was a kid. The Golden Records one. Just the music alone would scare my brother.

sweet crepes > savory crepes.

Why on earth would we not have both?

[shakermaker113]

Why on earth would we not have both?

just making sure we don't overlook them.

[chiapet]

Well, I'd suggested crepes suzettes. What sweet fillings do you like? I like simpler ones like with fresh fruit and liqueur or just brown sugar/honey

[greghead]

Well let's forgo the croque monsieurs, because clearly you peasants are out of your element, and make crepes then.

No, let's not take this off the table yet. Sounds delicious. You'll just have to be in charge of preparing them.

Was this Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well in Paris?

Nutella!

Would plums from my parent's plum tree work in any context with crepes?

[chiapet]

Definitely! This looks good though a bit complex: http://voices.yahoo.com/plum-filled-...l-4601603.html

I think they'd be good with just honey or brown sugar, or maybe vanilla?

Okay this looks so good: http://cosmocookie.blogspot.com/2011...ack-plums.html

Nutella is fucking gross, you'll need to bring your own.

As for dessert crepes, Hannah made a ridiculously delicious suggestion via pm. I can't remember what it was now, but I know it involved cooking apples in whiskey, brown sugar and a bunch of other good stuff.

[chiapet]

I'm super allergic to Nutella, so Kylie is on her own with that one.

WHAT?!?

I have nutella. Kylie and I will enjoy it.

Guys I have a great crepe recipe from Gary Danko, and I think that we could incorporate all ideas by flambeing sliced plums in brown sugar and some smokey bourbon. As for filling the crepes, may I suggest Mascarpone cheese so that Heidi can partake? I still got my crepe fingers, never burn cuz I don't feel....

[chiapet]

How on earth did we forget that there would be a professional baker in the house?!

Let's make this happen. I looked everywhere for gruyere for the chard crepes, couldn't find any. What would be a good substitute?

[shakermaker113]

I'm pretty sure I have some gruyere at home.

[greghead]

The revolution has been compromised. Meeting aborted. No meeting tomorrow.

[guedita]

I might be forgoing an out of town trip the last weekend in July. Any chance of a meeting that weekend?

[chiapet]

That weekend would be great for me -- it's the only weekend for like 3 months where I don't have a bunch of stuff planned already. Daniella is staying with me, and I don't have anything planned yet.

I can't do this coming Saturday, unfortunately.

[PassiveTheory]

Last weekend of July? I could do that, especially if I manage to find a place to crash at in the city.

[greghead]

The 28th is good for me, let's do it. Synchronize watches . . . . now.

[sbessiso]

works for moi!

[chiapet]

Last night I started a tentative discussion about having brunch at my place that day, but either I could do it another day and transport food items to your place.

You could still do brunch, we never really get the ball rolling until 3 or 330 anyway.

[chiapet]

Sure, I can check with my cohorts on that (I assumed people won't want to muni over to my place then muni over to your place too).

People keep posting articles about Chick-fil-a and it's just making me want fried chicken.

[greghead]

Definitely count me out for brunch, I need to sleep a little bit before you guys come over.

[PassiveTheory]

28th? Date set.

[chiapet]

So, Greg, are we definitely on for this Saturday?

I have a real gem for you guys. Well, if you consider novelty 90's female hip hop acts gems.

[guedita]

I can't make it this Saturday, ya'll. You might as well cancel the entire event.

[greghead]

Your lack of dedication is troubling, Comrade, Diehl.

Yeah, we're definitely fucking on.

[chiapet]

Excellent. I will definitely be there.
