NO COMMENT I am sick of people passing me over I am going to lose the weight I am sick of people telling me I am not good enough for who I am I live each day by day and I will be good enough to become an Aikman soon enough I will be his daughter. I am sick of the brainwashing what I did today is epic. I am not going to be put off in some remote island because I left my feelings out on Wix. I am sick of my weaknesses being maximized what about my potential and Strengths. I am a High D on the Disc Scale. A Tycoon, and a mother who knows how to keep a family together and not cause division within it. I don't create division I just Add and Subtract and I don't Subtract often. All you were doing is trying to make "ME" have a "MELTDOWN". Today.

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, water and butter. In another bowl, mix flour and salt; add to egg mixture and mix well. Refrigerate, covered, 1 hour.

  2. Heat a lightly greased 8-in. nonstick skillet over medium heat. Stir batter. Fill a 1/4-cup measure halfway with batter; pour into center of pan. Quickly lift and tilt pan to coat bottom evenly. Cook until top appears dry; turn crepe over and cook until bottom is cooked, 15-20 seconds longer. Remove to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing pan as needed. When cool, stack crepes between pieces of waxed paper or paper towels.

  3. For filling, in a small bowl, beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, lemon juice and zest, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in 2 cups berries and the whipped cream. Spoon about 1/3 cup filling down the center of each crepe; roll up. Garnish with remaining berries and, if desired, additional confectioner's sugar. Cover and refrigerate or freeze remaining crepes in an airtight container, unfilled, for another use.

TEST KITCHEN TIPSIn Europe, Parmigiano-Reggiano and Parmesan are considered the same cheese. But in the U.S., Parmesan is a generic term that may not come from Italy’s Parmigiano-Reggiano region. Using the authentic Italian cheese (in a lesser amount than the original’s ½ cup) ensures a cheesy richness in the makeover with less fat and calories. Sharp cheddar cheese has been aged longer than regular cheddar. As cheese ages, its flavor becomes more pronounced. Using aged cheese in a recipe can add complexity and rich flavor, even to humble favorites like mac ’n’ cheese. Here are some of our cheesiest recipes.
