Letting the food speak for itself. Mostly.

I've talked extensively about how badly I suck at this blog thing.  You might not agree, or may even never have noticed.  I do think I do a good job of faking it after all, and every time I say that I suck I invariably get at least one IM, e-mail or Facebook comment assuring me that it's not the case.  To those people, I'd just like to point out that I POSTED LESS THAN A DOZEN REVIEWS IN THE ENTIRE YEAR OF 2012.  And trying to maintain anonymity while snapping off a quick pic or two, often in less-than-ideal lighting, before digging in so I can actually enjoy the food at its prime means that those pics often turn out badly.  Still, I'd like to think that I'm gradually improving as time passes, and as we approach the fourth anniversary of this little project's life I've noticed a pretty drastic oversight on my part.  See, once I've written about a place, I'm kind of "done" with it.  I may still go there (though I mostly feel driven to move on to the next new eatery, I get sentimental about certain places), and even take a picture or two, and sometimes I'll even post those pictures on Facebook.  Well, it's occurred to me that a lot of the people who read my reviews here might never see those pictures (especially with Facebook's increasingly idiotic algorithm bullshit).  I don't often do follow-up reviews, so basically at this point I'm putting those pictures where a couple hundred people might see them if I'm lucky before they get sucked into the void and buried.  And unforgivably, I'm also guilty of this behavior in relation to events like the Food Truck Rally, where I've taken to just posting on Facebook rather than doing yet another website review and therefore have tried things from newer vendors there that I've never given the courtesy of writing up here.  That's just not fair to me, the restaurants involved, or the people who are searching for information someplace other than Facebook.  So, here's a bunch of pictures I've taken over the past year or so, all dishes I enjoyed, from eateries that are still in business, and captured in not completely horrifying images...

Some slightly better pictures of crepes...

De Poulet

Parisian

Strawberry & Nutella

Deliciousness from The Creperie.  The pics are still not as good as I would like, and I still didn't get a picture of the store front.  Guess I'll just have to go back, and I'll keep going back until I get it right!  Oh, how I suffer...

The Creperie

I'm the first to admit that I'm a little lazy when it comes to this blogging thing.  I'm fine with the going out to eat and taking pictures part (even if I sometimes suck at the latter), but a lot of times I just have too many other things I have to do or want to do at the end of the day to hop on the computer.  Subsequently, it seems like I've always got a backlog of about four or five write-ups waiting to be done.  This time, the delay has been for a different reason: I'm ashamed of the pictures I took.  I've been hoping I could make it back and get some better ones, but it hasn't worked out.  So, I'm going ahead with the write-up, simply because this place is amazing and I want to do my own little part to bring attention to them.  Sorry about the lack of a picture before the jump since I usually put a shot of the outside of the eatery up, but it happened to be kind of hailing sideways at the time and I didn't feel like standing there trying to get a decent picture.

Consider this a public service announcement...

A full review is coming shortly, but if you've been wanting to check out The Creperie just across from the theater building in the Edwards Cinema complex on Overland Road in Boise, or even if you weren't aware of it and are intrigued now, consider this my official endorsement.  My beloved and I dropped in yesterday after a matinee showing of Black Swan (pretty amazing flick, that), and the only problem I have with the place is that they're not open on Sundays, and the only reason I have a problem with that is because I would have liked to have gone back today. I recommend the De Poulet!
