Suzette loved to flip crepes so much that the townspeople called her “Crazy Crepes Suzette.” And now you know the rest of the story. Good day.

Artist: I’m almost done. Can you just flip it just a couple more times?

Does anyone really flip pancakes that way? If I tried it, I’d just make a mess.

If that pan is hot enough to cook whatever’s in it, why is she handling it bare handed?

The skillet egg noodles were great; the vegetable soup – not so much.

Maria’s new restaurant wasn’t a success, the food was good but the place was a disaster.
