skinny pancake

I only had to work for two days over a period of five weeks (which was both a nice break and a financial nightmare), so i was able to get up to the vermont house two times. Since my car is now a senior citizen, it's not able to make the trip so i rely on my guests to provide the mode of transportation. If that weren't the case, i'd probably have stayed for the entire five weeks. The most recent trip was made with two friends and a baby, and was a nice mid-week getaway highlighted by puzzle doing, pond swimming, zip lining, bonfire building, and s'more eating. Aside from the mild issue of large quantities of water pouring through the basement bathroom ceiling and the ensuing calling, fixing and cleaning of said water, it was great and relaxing.
On our trip home, we stopped at the skinny pancake, my favorite crepe place in montpelier. I always get the same thing, the johnny crepe- an unbelievably tasty concoction of pulled pork, caramelized onion, cabot cheddar, and a corn meal crepe. I cannot stress how good this thing is, really. The other great thing about this place is that they use as many local ingredients as possible, and have a map on the wall that shows where each ingredient comes from. The pulled pork, for example, was from duclos and thompson farm in weybridge, and the cheese from cabot creamery in montpelier. Very cool. Today, as an extra bonus, i passed on the water in favor of a root beer that was...


...on tap. It was the best root beer i've ever had. In short, i will now require a stop at the skinny pancake during each trip to the vermont house. It's a good thing i don't live closer.
