How To Make Crepes

Hi everybody! This is how to make crepes from my Grandma's recipe. We are Croatian, and in Croatia, crepes are popular. We don't call them crepes, we call them palacinke. I think that's how it's spelled.

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

spatula
pan
big spoon thing
bowl
canola oil


1. Put 1 or 2 eggs in a bowl, add a little sugar, some salt, stir. Add milk and flour and stir some more until liquidy.

2. Next set a pan on the oven. Set oven to medium temp.

3. On the pan, put some oil and tip the pan a little so the oil will spread.

4. Take the big spoon thing and take scoop some of your mix. Put it inside the pan. Tip to spread mix.

5. Wait a bit. Take spatula and check underside to see if done. It will be a little brown and crispy. If brown and crispy, flip over the crepe so the other side will be cooked, too. When it is done, take the spatula and put the crepe on the plate.

I hope you enjoy the crepe. If you did not get something, comment, and I will either make a video, or show you a picture of how the thing looks. I knew the basic ingredients, but not how much, so I found a website that tells me exactly how much you need. Thanks you for the ingredients: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/basic-crepes/detail.aspx

Enjoy your crepes,
sincerely,

En Pointe With Emma

Does anybody actually know what the whole, "En Pointe With Emma" thing comes from?
Well, I love to dance ballet. Well, in ballet, when you get older you get to go on pointe. Pointe means you get to wear pointe shoes, a picture of them is on the bottom of this post. In France, since ballet comes from France, they spell "on pointe" like this: en pointe. So, my whole blog name basically means that you are going en pointe with me while I share all my life stories and interests. By the way, I still haven't gotten on pointe yet. Thanks for reading!

Change of Costume... Again

Hi everybody!

Change of costume again for Halloween! This time, is my final choice. I am going to be a vampire teenager from the 70's. I have leggings, a black skirt, an afro, crazy eyelashes, fangs, white face paint, a spider webby hood thing that is supposed to be attached to one of my previous costumes: Spiderella. I am going to put a cute bow in my hair. Plus I have a sparkly shirt!
What are you being? Comment!
Happy Halloween again!

Sincerely,

Halloween Switch-Up

Hi everybody! Yesterday, I went to an awesome costume store (an actual one that is open all year). It's called Chicago Costume Company. It is amazing and really cool. I decided to be a disco person. I got an afro with fake pink dotted eyelashes. My mom is going to find an outfit, because at the store, their disco costumes were only in the woman's section. So, my mime idea is for next year, I guess.

Have an awesome Halloween, and get a lot of candy!


Happy Halloween! 
Remember to check out Chicago Costume Company!

Halloween Stuff

Hey guys!

  Here are some cool Halloween ideas:

COSTUMES: Homemade costumes are cool and easy. Find out what you are going to be, and grab some clothes that whoever or whatever you are going to be would wear. You could buy some accessories to add a little to the costume.

Last year I was a hippie. I went to the nearest costume store and bought big peace sign earrings, old-fashioned glasses, and fake flowers. I used some clothes that I found from when my cousins were little. They were perfect! I used a jean vest and I found some bell-bottom pants. I found an awesome pink shirt, too. I attached the earrings, put on the glasses, and stuck the blue flowers in my hair. It looked awesome. This year I'm going to be a mime. (Those people who don't talk on purpose and just use actions) I'm going to wear a striped shirt and black leggings. I have a French beret that I'm going to wear. I am going to paint my face white and put red lipstick on. Easy, huh? 

DECORATIONS: For decorations, we buy pumpkins and straw each year fro the front of my house. We use different lights and decorations each year that we didn't use last year. I think it looks awesome every time. We have skeleton heads and pumpkin lights. We have monsters and pirate skeletons. You could also make homemade decorations. Paper ghosts and witches, lighted candles, or anything you can think of! Here is a link to find out what and how: http://iblue.hubpages.com/hub/Top-10-Halloween-Homemade-Decorations

Traditions: For cool and spooky traditions, you can boo somebody. To boo somebody, get a bag (one that you would put a gift in). Make up a poem, or look up poems for booing people. Print or write the poem out and stick it into the bag. at the end of the poem, if not already there, write, "Now it is your turn to boo somebody" or anything like that. Put candy in the bag and secretly put it on someone's doorstep and ring the doorbell. Run, so they can't see who gave it to them. Here are some poems I found on the web for booing people: http://leladavidson.hubpages.com/hub/Halloween-Boo-Poems-and-Signs

Have a fun Halloween! 

Sincerely,

Emma

Be sure to check out my new poll, too!

So, so far this summer I have gone to the pool, done swimming camp, I will be doing a dancing camp, and I am going to an away camp. My new favorite store is Abercrombie & Fitch. It's a really cool store.
Just to keep you updated I still don't have a dog, but I did have a fish named Carrot, but he died. I have my ears pierced. I am going to be in 5th grade. Some of my favorite songs are Rolling In The Deep, Down To Earth, A lot of Black Eyed Peas songs, Hello Goodbye, Here Comes the Sun, Never Say Never, Beatles songs, Give Me Everything, Only Exception, and Only Girl In the World. Plus, I like a lot of old songs, too. Well, I hope you have a great summer and I will post more!
