Crepe Expectations

IMG_0398

One gorgeous city!

Matt and I got dressed up to head out to a Davidson event this evening.

Guess what happened to me when I was crossing a street? A guy leaned out of the passenger side of a car and said “HURRY UP PREGNANT LADY!” [I was not walking slow at all.]

I can’t decide if I found this amusing or rude. Probably a little of both : ) But it was kind of funny to me that a teenager thought I looked pregnant. 6 months tomorrow!

IMG_0390

We headed to The Local for drinks and cheese with Cville Davidson alumni.

IMG_0394

There was a fun group from the class of ‘06 who we talked to for a while. It was nice to talk to younger alumni since we shared friends, classes and experiences.

IMG_0393

I had a cranberry soda and a small platter of cheese + crackers

IMG_0392

IMG_0396

After chatting till about 8, we headed downtown.

IMG_0401

I had had this yellow cereal snack after a long walk + conference call this afternoon, so that plus cheese meant neither of us was terribly hungry.

IMG_0388IMG_0389

IMG_0399

We discovered that Dierks Bentley was playing at the Pavilion!

IMG_0400

Sneak peek of him from behind!

IMG_0408

And then we bumped into part of the Great Harvest family!! These guys just ended dinner together. So glad they are friends and they are my friends! We chatted laughed on the mall for a while before Matt and I got hungry enough to break away for dinner.

IMG_0412

When brainstorming quick service restaurants, we lightbulbed our way to the The Flat Takeaway Creperie! We’ve been wanting to try it out for nearly two years and our timing has just not been right. When we have been moderately hungry a few times, it’s been closed, or we’ve been too full after dinner. But tonight was our lucky night!!

IMG_0416

They have savory..

IMG_0414

And of course sweet!

IMG_0415

We settled on one of each. The first a [local!] Babes in the Wood sausage, spinach, feta and cheddar crepe that was incredibly delicious!!

IMG_0417

And the second, Mom’s Apple Pie – apples with cinnamon, sugar and butter. We alternated bites until both were all gone!

IMG_0418

So glad we can cross this great little spot off our restaurant to-do list!

I think I walked close to 6-7 miles today, and my legs are ready to rest!

    That looks so beautiful ! And wow what a rude comment that guy made! I would have been offended. When I see a pregnant lady i take extra steps of courtosy, like letting them go ahead of me in the washroom line or offering my seat. People can be so RUDE

    That crepe place looks great! Too bad the savory crepe wasn’t made with buckwheat flour, which is how traditional savory crepes are. (At least, it didn’t look like buckwheat.) You’d probably love one like that!

      May 10, 2012 at 9:41 pm

      Kara, they have buckwheat crepes (as well as vegan and gluten-free crepes) – but you do have to ask for those specifically. I’ve never actually tried the buckwheat because their regular crepe batter is fantastic, but maybe next time I will – I never knew that buckwheat was traditional for a savory crepe!

    I adore The Flat. I eat there as often as possible. It doesn’t hurt that it’s owned by a girl I sang with in college (though I rarely run into her there), but in addition to that, it’s affordable and delicious! And they use local ingredients and real food, their homemade drink concoctions are AWESOME (last time I was there I had a fantastic mint limeade)…they’re just fantastic. So glad you got to stop by!

    I think it is funny and rude! Funny for you as not too long ago you just couldn’t wait to look pregnant;-) Hey, at least he didn’t say, “Hurry up FAT lady!” Which has happened to me and is extremely rude. In general, I think hurrying anyone along is rude.

    Gosh…I have not had a crepe since childhood. My mom received a crepe maker and we loved to make them on the weekend drizzled with lemon juice and sprinkled with sugar all wrapped up. My mom would make this chicken divan recipe with the crepes that was truly divine. I wonder if she still has it somewhere in the basement! lol Looks like a great evening!

    Crossing places off your restaurant to-do list is the best! 🙂

    Whenever I got to crepe places I usually go sweet and savory too. Gotta have a little of both if you ask me.

    Also, LOVE Dierks Bentley! I saw him in Charlotte in December.

    I pass The Flat when I walk to the gym, and I keep thinking I need to go! It’s hard to find the perfect time for crepes, though. Glad you got to enjoy both savory and sweet. I love your pictures in this post!

    My thighs have been really sore since yesterday. I think being pregnant, and all the walking I did while visiting family for a few days made for really sore thighs. It took a day or so to catch up with me, and now I need to take it easy.

    I’ve been a reader before but never commented… I also live in C’ville but you are always mentioning places and activities that I’ve never heard of before. This crepe place sounds awesome and I’ll have to check it out the next time I’m on the downtown mall.

    You are famous. People recognize you. You don’t look pregnant unless you frame your belly, so I bet he knows you. Even if I thought someone was pregnant I wouldn’t say anything, unless I knew for sure. Good thing you didn’t let it ruin your awesome evening. Pretty soon you will have to be manuevering a stroller on all those nice strolls. You must be getting excited.

    The pictures are stunning! The food doesn’t look so bad either! 🙂 I love the idea of oats in a jar. I haven’t tried it yet. I think I must have about 5 current jars of many different “butter” selections opened. When the first one gets bottomed out, I will have my oats in it for sure!
