Dinner tonight: Braised Groundhog or French Crepes?

                              Geez, we all have tough decisions to make.

Today's Times ran a story about, basically, road kill for dinner.  If groundhog or muskrat don't appeal, here's an excuse to eat crepes today. 

The French have been eating crepes since the 14th century, when subsistence farmers stirred milk into buckwheat.  These lace-patterned, super-thin pancakes are versatile.  Savory foods are tucked into square buckwheat crepes; sweet always into round ones made with white flours. 

Crepes can be made ahead.  The operation goes faster if you use 2 slope-sided saute pans side by side - or a griddle large enough for 2 6-inch rounds.  Or get one of your kids to do it.
