Whaou! Chocolate Fast Food Crepes
This is the first time I have ever heard of packaged crepes. I actually think it is kinda cool. I am usually against the "easy way out" way of cooking or eating by just buying something pre-made instead of making it yourself.. but crepes are hard to master!!! Also, these sound pretty good. I would love to try the strawberry and apple crepes. I am not the biggest chocolate fan but shhhh tell no one! lol
Meat grinder shopping
It would depend on how often you want to do it. Either way, getting a manual grinder would be a huge workout.. but think of the arms you get lol Anyway, if you plan on doing it a lot... I would get the electric mixer. Also, with the electric mixer.. you could have many more options if you decide sausage isnt your thing.. they have pasta attachment and juicers I believe. Well.. good luck on your sausage quest!
no lemons please
A great side dish that I have used is called Fennel Orange Salad. Very simple and fresh.. since everything is just chopped up and mixed in a vinaigrette. All it consists of is orange segments, shredded fennel, and oil cured olives with a vinaigrette of basil, oil, bas. vinegar, and salt and pepper. Mix it together and just serve cold.

Well.. for the first part of your questions.. veal broth is very very good but it is also very hard to find. Veal broth is just a lighter flavor of beef broth so it is not as overpowering. However, for the second part of your question.. for french onion soup.. I would do beef and veggie broth if veal is not found. I do not agree with using chicken because you are mixing two very different flavors together and you want to taste of onions and beef... not poultry... Veggie broth on the other hand is very mild so the beef flavor will shine without being overpowering! Hope I helped!
