The automotive patient is still in the OR, the surgeon studying how to stop the battery from draining. It's all about waiting today. One bulletin: the car started immediately for the mechanic. Of course it did. It's like the toothache completely vanishing once you're in the dentist chair. But my hero friend confirmed that it had been doing that, then dying completely overnight. So the surgeon continued thinking.
The main compensation being a nice little supper of, wait for it, it took as long to name as to cook it:
Crepes Mornay avec les Champignons et les oignons verts.
Here's a roux cooking gently before the warm milk, salt and pepper are added, the parmigiano cheese in waiting, with mushrooms and scallions sauteing in the background.
I added more regular wholewheat flour to the batter to make the pancakes a bit sturdier.
And here's supper, sauce now containing the mushrooms and scallions, spooned over the pancakes and very nice, too.
I have a bowl of extra sauce which might be used again as sauce or might be a base for soup. I'll see how I feel tomorrow.
Tomorrow is another day.
