I found a place abit from me that is Amish owned and sells all kinds of bulk flours, oats, vegs, spices etc. Gonna try these crepes with some fresh berries and real cream. Sounds great for mothers day, though I'll be making them for myself. Still a treat.. Love your pages. You give out the best ideas... <3 Hi Jean,

Here's what Kate wrote from Vancouver, BC: Hello Jean, Thank you for the cooking tips in your Measure Free Newsletter. I made "rool -up" or "palacsintas", as we call it in my Hungarian language for my family for years. I will look for your book in our Kitsilano Capers Book store and get new ideas for easy cooking at home. Thanks again. Kate Everyone seems to love Rolled Ups. Here’s what Kate wrote from Vancouver, BC:

I made “rool -up” or “palacsintas”, as we call it in my Hungarian language for my family for years.

Here's what he said: Hi Jean, We love your book. I have been sharing it with everyone I see. Even Mac [my ex-husband] was pointing out things to me. He's proud of you. [At long last,he lets it show.] If the point of a cookbook is to get people cooking, you have succeeded. I first saw the Rolled Up Pancakes and was hungry, so I made some. Then I remembered the part about other grains, so I made some more with Hopi Blue Corn Flour. Umm! While searching for more blue corn to grind I found that what I had was Hopi Blue Flour. This stuff just does not grind into polenta! Also I was not able to find blue corn flour in the natural food stores, so I plan to grow some this summer. Bob ~~Since Bob sent the blue corn seeds, I'm going to try them in the garden. Not sure, though, if we have enough heat like Hopiland to grow this corn. I guess if we can raise sweet corn, we can get a crop of blue out. Bob actually wrote me a snail mail letter when he sent the blue corn flour and seeds to try out this summer. Here’s what he said:

Crepes are pretty fun--perhaps even more so when they turn out like maps. Laurie, a friend, tried them and wrote this note: "made your roll-ups for a mothers day brunch at my house for family!" No complaints so I guessed they worked out. Cheers, J Good luck, Anne. Crepes are pretty fun–perhaps even more so when they turn out like maps.

Thanks. I love the grandpa story. It would work in our family, as my dad is a soft-hearted gourmet who dotes on my daughter. We will try these with berries this weekend. Thanks.

We're still eating pears from last year's crop. That and eying the blossoms on the strawberry plants. That said, I did get a mango recently and played around with that and rhubarb. Nice combo. Also the early apricots are in from California. Anyhow, if you feel like it, let us know how things turn out. Cool, Ruby–and love your seasonal approach.

Too bad we are in between fruit seasons here in the Pacific NW. Perhaps I will try rhubarb and cottage cream as a filling. This sounds so good I might try it this weekend.

A flash from my days out in Hopiland. I'll definitely be trying it out on Sunday. Have you tried yellow corn flour (masa) as well? That's pretty spiff for rolled ups. I also made some blue corn waffles from the batch of flour you sent. So good that it's going into book 2, Hippie Kitchen. Was waiting until I got the recipe written up and the photos done so I could enclose them in a note thanking you for the flour. But, hey, it's only months from the book coming out. So I'll send you that instead. How does yours and Beth's garden grow? I have kale, cabbage, radishes, spring onions, and bunched of herbs that I've had fun lately.
