Crepes by Suzette
I know I am!
Suzette's Crepe Recipe
Makes about 8 crepes
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
1 tblsp melted butter
1 tblsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
Utensils: a big bowl, whisk, ladle, spatula, and a large frying pan (or Crepe pan)
In a bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk. Beat in the milk. Then add the flour and mix well until very smooth. Add the melted butter, sugar, and salt to the batter and blend well. It should be the consistency of very heavy cream. Add slightly more milk if necessary, (Alternatively, the mixing can be done in a blender or food processor.) The batter can be used immediately, but even better, cover and chill 1 hr or overnight.
Heat the pan and brush lightly with melted butter,. Pour in a ladelful of batter (about 3 tblsp). Quickly swirl the pan around so the batter spreads out thin. Cook over med-high* heat until the crepe is set and the edges are lightly browned and lift up easily, about 2 minutes. Flip it, spread it with your favorite filling and cook for about another minute. Fold it in half, and then in half again, creating a triangle, then serve! Bon appetit!

Hiromi's Hands
2 slices Whole Grain White Bread
1 teaspoon ranch dressing
1 tablespoon thinly shredded carrots
2 sweet baby pickles
Place two slices of white bread with the crusts cut off on a flat surface side-by-side. Using a rolling pin, or glass, gently flatten and fuse the bread slices together. Spread the ranch dressing over the inside middle of the flat bread slices. Place two slices of the ham on top of the ranch dressing. Place the shredded carrots and Swiss cheese on top of the ham. Place the two pickles horizontally and end-to-end at the bread edge closest to you. Starting at the bottom, roll the bread upwards to make a tight cigar-shaped roll. Using a bread knife, cut the roll into sushi-sized pieces approx one inch in length. (Source: Mommy Goggles)

Now, cut a large red pepper slice to make the bandana of the pirate. Cut two little pieces to make the "ties". Add eyes, nose, mouth and ears, as shown. Use olive slices without pimentos for earrings.
