Personal Thoughts

When I first heard we were doing crepes i thought it was an awful idea with any meat.But the video explained everything and it looked so good with chocolate and bananas yum. So we made it and put 3 table spoons of salt instead of sugar and it was so salty. It still looked really good so I was happy in the end.
