Spider! from juicysauce on Vimeo.
A couple of days ago, I decided to knit Travis a fully realistic, to scale model of a spider. In the interest of science, you know. Here’s what I came up with.
It’s somewhat amazing how accurate I managed to make it. You may notice that, unlike most spiders, this one only has seven legs.
That’s due to it also doubling as an homage to the greatest piece of art ever made, the seven legged spider.
I promise not to kill you…
In other news, the New Year’s Eve food turned out delicious, except for the crepes, which instead of being crepetastic were craptastic. Oh well. We’ve already made more of the pepperoni breadsticks and the roasted garlic potato soup.
Nom!
Stumble it!
The only way that I’ve succeeded at crepes is if I let the batter sit and rest for a few hours or overnight in the fridge (previous crepe fails have taught me this). Once I did that, they were easier than pancakes.
Oh, we let the batter rest and all, we just couldn’t get it working with our crepe pan (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000TTKQIS/ref=cm_rdp_product). We finally wound up finishing them off in a regular pan. They tasted fine, just couldn’t cook them the way we wanted.
