Halloween is the best. Some might argue that it is, like yoga, a glorification of Satan, but for me it holds a simply purity. It is the embodiment of rushing from foggy and frightening darkness towards the warm and safe glow of home. It’s cozy. Correct me if I am wrong Scandinavian friends, but it is hygge. At the end of the day, Halloween is a huge, melting hug from a viking.
And this year my Halloween reached epic hygge levels. See, I have a child, and she’s as nutso about Halloween as I am. I don’t think I’ve mentioned her on this blog before… She’s obviously a huge part of my life, but I reserve this space for recipes, my midlife crisis, and saying perverted things about tradesmen. But last night she told me at least twenty times that she loves Halloween. Also, she saw mannequin with fake blood covering its torso and said, “cool.” You just don’t get these kinds of blessings at Christmas, folks.
Creepy Crepes
Crepes
These crepes are great. Use them for anything. Here I’ve put a seafood filling and baked it in the oven. For sweet fillings, only put one pinch of salt and add a touch of vanilla and sugar of choice.
- 2 eggs
- 2 TBS water
- 2 pinches of salt
- 2 tsp coconut flour
- 1/4 cup tapioca flour
- 1 tsp avocado oil
- Mix all the ingredients until smooth.
- Heat a touch of coconut oil in a pan and wipe out, leaving a thin film.
- This batter makes 5-6 crepes, so pour a scant 1/4 cup of batter into a medium pan and swirl the batter to coat the bottom.
- Cook for a minute or so, and then flip and cook for another minute.
- Repeat with the rest of the batter.
