la Chandeleur

Because I needed a reason to celebrate, I claimed a holiday. February 2nd, La Chandeleur, Candlemas, a day upon which French people gather up their families and eat crepes by the stack. To keep with the tradition, I broke out my mom's copy of Mastering the Art of French Cooking and dedicated my afternoon to celebratory crepe-flipping.


The evening ended with Nutella and Buddy Holly, a pile of damp dishes on the drainboard and satisfaction.
