John Roos , of Roos Roast coffee, and Katherine Weider, director of the Play Gallery are an amazing couple. We were lucky enough to catch them before their next joint project comes to fruition!

Let’s take it from the top! Check out the beginning of building a Crepe ala Roos. Start with two beautiful, fresh eggs, add house cured ham or hoop house spinach, and top with local cheddar cheese. Wait for the eggs to cook, fold up the sides like a lovely envelope, slip it on a plate and add a side handful of hoop house greens, and Voila! Follow the photos and here it is in the capable hands of mama Kath. Oh yeah, the last photo?? Well, we all know Roos loves a party with food.

Roos and Kath (and the li’l baby Rooster) broke a record-they served 86, YES, 86 crepes. We couldn’t remember any other special with those kinds of numbers!!

AND, they were good! I managed to get John to make me an egg, cheese and spinach crepe to take with me to work for lunch, and it was delish. We are already in negotiations with the fabulous family to come back for an encore performance before the little one arrives…if you like the idea, clap your hands really loud, just like when you wanted tinker bell to survive her latest ordeal, and then let those two know how much we love them and want them back for more!

Thanks to the whole crowd of volunteers, both Thursday night with tons of food prep, and the Friday morning slam, handling the crowd with smiling faces and lots of pump pots of steaming, rich, aromatic and sensational ROOS ROAST COFFEE. Is there nothing that guy can’t do?? Thank you Amanda Schott, Simone, Charles and Patrick Racine, Michelle Fortin, Olivia May, Kate Long, Nevon Clark, Anton Smith, Rita Conroy Martin and Jennifer Jensen for Thursday help, and Evan Dayringer, Kris Kaul, Jennifer Jensen, Nate Lada, Remi Holden and Katherine Belzowski for Friday morning.

Here’s some news: If you haven’t already, check us out on Facebook-repasts will be offering regular fb posts about this and that, and we’d love you to be a fan.

Until next time, enjoy this gentle beginnings of Spring, and we look forward to seeing you in our kitchen soon.
