I found out through my budgeting, that I eat out... I eat out a lot. Which is why I don't have nice things. Which is why near the end of the week I'm asking "What the hell? Where'd my money go?"
So, my solution is to make my own food. I suggest all single people do this, no matter how well you can cook.
Me? I am ok. I'm not my mother who made cooking look easy, and I'm definitely not my grandmother who can make blueberry muffins out of nothing. (That story may have been embellished a bit)
So, this is pretty much my introductory post for future food themed blogs that I may start up.
This one comes with a recipe. :D BUT FIRST!!
A picture of the Japanese curry that I made the other day.

Doesn't that look tasty? Like right out of an anime? :d
I had to use pears and mushrooms instead of carrots and potatoes, which gave it a weird taste, but meh.
The brand was Vermont Honey and Apple curry. Still pretty good.
NOW onto the recipe for what I made for breakfast/brunch this morning. Anyone reading this, especially people who actually know me, might wonder if I am qualified to write recipes for what I make. Trust me... I'm not. My mom was talking to me on skype the whole time and I was ranting and raving about not getting perfect circular crepes... It was special.

Crepes:
Any recipe you use will most likely be fine. I used French style.
1c. All purpose flour
1tsp White granulated Sugar
1/4tsp Salt
2c. Milk
3 Eggs
2Tbsp butter (melted)
In a small bowl, mix your dry ingredients and then set aside.
In a large bowl mix your milk and eggs and then beat with a whisk or an electric beater. That's up to you.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the egg and milk mixture, and beat until smooth.
Add melted butter and thoroughly mix.
Lightly oil a pan or griddle and set your heating device to med. to med. high.

Lightly oil a pan or griddle and set your heating device to med. to med. high.
Scoop or pour however much you want into your pan/griddle. The more you put in the pan, the bigger the crepe.
Swear and fuss at it until you manage to figure out the method that works best for you when trying to get a perfect circular crepe. Mine was the lift, pour, swirl, set back on burner method.
(Now would be the best time to tell you that there are actual crepe makers out there. Save yourself the headache and go get one.)
Pay STUPIDLY close attention to it, less you burn your crepe. It only takes less than a minute for it to be fully cooked.
Put on a plate and set aside.

Filling:
For this, I just went "eh. Whatever..." and kind of threw stuff together without measuring. HAHA
Generous serving of heavy whipping cream
1/4c. Goat cheese (or however much you want to use.)
Spoonful of honey
1tsp Vanilla (or a cap full)
In a small pan, throw in your cream, your cheese, and your honey.
Set the stove to low to med. heat.
Stir until thoroughly melted.
Add vanilla.
Stir until completely mixed.
Remove from heat.
On a plate, lay out your crepe. Add your fruit. (For the fruit, frozen whatever it is you want to put into it. I used blueberries and raspberries. I just put these in a bowl and set them aside, while I did other stuff), then spoon in your cream mixture. Fold the crepe in your preferred fold. Enjoy.

And thus concludes my first attempt at writing a recipe. And yes, it was super good. I suggest you try it.
