Alaska Guidebook: Le Barn Appétit (in Seward)

If you ever go to Seward (as we did with my parents way back in May), please go to Le Barn Appétit.  It's the cutest little creperie run by a super cute couple in their kitchen.  The husband is from Belgium and brought his original crepe recipe from there.  He cooks all the crepes right there in front of you.  And they have a menu, but they'll also tell you what you want (which is, in fact, exactly what you want).  So we were like: "We'll get the triple berry cream crepe" and she'll be like: "That one is good.  But do you want to try the pear and berry compote we just made a few days ago?  It's delicious."  And then they make you some amazing and giant crepes.  

And the couple is hilarious.  They'll tell you all their funny stories (their son was apparently a body guard for Britney Spears and the lady's claim to fame is that once she called her son and he put her on the phone with Britney.  The next week, in some magazine, there was some picture of Britney in the car on the phone with "her lover" and it showed the date and time.  The lady was like: "That was ME!  That's the exact time I was talking to Britney on the phone!"  She has binders full of pictures of these things... Britney with her son in the background, etc.).  They have an assortment of really random, cool things about which they will tell you elaborate stories about the acquisitions of the items.  

While we were there (eating our delicious crepes), the FedEx man came with a giant box.  The husband got all excited and wheeled himself over on his walker and started to open the box on the table next to us.  What he pulled out was the biggest crowbar/prybar tool thing I have ever seen.  It was about 3 feet long and had a sledge hammer on one end.  His wife said: "What is that?!" and he said: "A forced entry tool.  In Spanish it's called a penetrator."  "Why do you need that?"  "To tear down things I build."  "Don't you already have one of those?"  "But this one's bigger."  I cannot express to you the hilarity of this whole thing.  It was one of the greatest and funniest experiences ever and I want to be their friends.
