Sundae Crêpes: Banana Nutella

Last year for Valentine's Day, Gabriel took me on a tour of Paris in Portland, visiting French restaurants and stores in each of the four quadrants of the city. It was a fun day, complete with several versions of crêpes.

It was a very sweet, and very romantic day. I've always wanted to visit France, the actual France... Of course I want to visit France! As a baker I would love to feast and dine and indulge in France! In fact, we made plans to visit Paris a few winters ago, as my college graduation present, but unfortunately we weren't able to finalize our trip... perhaps this year...

I imagine visiting France on February 2, La Chandeleur: National Crêpe Day. Holding a coin in one hand and flipping a crêpe in the other, listening to adulation's of praise and viewing the esteemed Eiffel Tower out of the corner of my eye.
