I was recently in a shopping centre looking for Hallowe’en things when out of nowhere Adele’s voice starting singing. It wasn’t her of course but her album and she was crooning “Someone Like You” as if her heart would burst. I walked up and down the aisles thinking that I liked the shop’s taste in music and what an unusual sound system they had. It was as if it were following you around the store. I even looked up in the ceiling for the speakers it was so creepy. The music itself had a terribly tinny sound but I felt as if I were followed by Adele’s ghost singing in my ear.
I went into another shop and again Adele’s voice followed me around. I started to get a bit paranoid and people were looking at me too. So I exited and went into a third shop. There she was again, Adele! Was the whole shopping centre playing her music?
Then I realised that I had the music on my phone on the whole time and that people were looking at my oddly like “Why is that girl playing music out of her bag and walking around looking behind her and up at the ceiling as if she were haunted by a ghost.
Hey, at least it wasn’t the most embarrassing song on my phone right? 
Anyway, here is something slightly less creepy than the spirit of Adele following you around. They’re crepes decorated with Jack Skellington on the top. If you want to have a less involved Hallowe’en treat for perhaps little ones or perhaps a little treat before they go trick or treating, then this is an easy one. The crepes are very simple and you can decorate the top one or you can do as I did and layer each crepe with it’s own design. Whoever takes a crepe reveals the next crepe for the following person. And psst, crepes freeze really well too so if you want to make a whole stack of them and then thaw them and reheat them, they’re perfect for a quick treat.
Sometimes the pattern looks like brains…
So tell me Dear Reader, what’s the most embarrassing song on your phone or computer? Come on, fess up!
Creepy Crepes
Makes about 15 crepes (depending on size)
- 2/3 cup plain all purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- pinch of salt
- Chocolate buttons for eyes and black licorice for face (or melted chocolate in a piping bag)
- oil or butter for frying
1. Place the flour and salt in a bowl. In In a jug whisk the eggs and milk together. Then gradually add them to the bowl of flour whisking to avoid lumps. It will be a very runny mix-pour this into a jug to make it easier.
2. Heat a frypan on medium heat and add a little oil or butter. Hold the pan in one hand and the jug in another and add the batter all the time tilting the pan so that it runs to the edges-the batter is very liquid so it will do it. Cook for a minute or two until the bottom is cooked and gently flip over and cook the other side. Repeat and place on plate.
Sometimes it looks like two eyes are staring out at you…
Other times you might get half a spider’s web!
3. You can serve these in a stack with Jack Skellington on top. But to make these a surprise treat I alternated faces and did different designs between each crepe in the stack so that everyone gets a different design. Sometimes they got no design though in which case they could dip it in “blood clots” i.e. strawberry jam.

probably some old country music song by some long gone old country music star….
maybe even some Billy Ray Cyrus? eek!
These are amazing! I love halloween themed anything
These look awesome! Ha ha I love them. I am not a black licorice person but these are cute enough to just look at
Oh and hilarious story!! That would totally happen to me too!
I’d be the person picking off all the licorice, because as of this year, I fricking love licorice.
Oh my LOL!!! That really sounds like one thing I would do! You crack me up!
What a simple but effective Halloween idea. I my have to start Wednesday morning off like his or the kids.alhough go breaks I should find an alternative to liquorice
hehe that sounds like something I would do!!
ps – are you throwing on of you amazing halloween parties this year? I loved last year’s pics
Hi Lisa! I sure am, stay tuned!
Thanks!
You are just too funny!
Creepy crepes indeed.. x
Very scary, Lorraine, but tasty too. I adore black licorice. Not sure I’ve had an embarrassing phone moment yet, but there’s still time!
Adele’s music is certainly nothing to be embarrassed about. Love the creepy crepes. I buy that rolled licorice all the time. It has a million uses. Always seem to need it for the kid’s birthday parties. I have the Wiggles on my i-phone! xx
Cute, fun crepes. You make me smile once again.
Most embarrassing? Hard to choose.
I love how you spell Hallowe’en the old school way.
Cause you are Hallowe’en Hardcore.
Dear Lorraine,
Now I know who Jack Skellington is.
I once did something similar but it wasn’t a song, I had forgotten I had a clunky old personal alarm at the time and the panic switch had gotten caught on something in my handbag. I had just walked up to a building when I heard an annoying blaring noise which sounded like a car alarm going off. I did what we all would do and kept walking into the building assuming someone would soon deal with it. It was only when I walked into the restaurant I was going to and everyone turned to look at me that I realised that the noise was coming from me! I was so embarrassed I couldn’t get out of there fast enough. He he!
HaHaHaHaHa!!!!!!!
That must have been creepy.And I can understand how embarrassed you must have felt……
Those crepes look fabulous.
I have never made crepes before but hopefully I will get around to making them soon. I don’t have any embarrassing music because I am not embarrassed by anything I own. I refuse and reject the feeling embarrassment in my taste in music
But my brother who has not bought any new music since the 90s should be embarrassed.
Love these – so cute! Such a great idea.
That is too hilarious! Though, every time I hear Adele, I think I should have a martini in my hand. Now, that would be a lot harder to do while walking through a mall.
Simple yet awesome! Haha, love it.
Nice idea thanks Lorraine and one I could probably actually manage to do without stuffing it up! My attention to detail in no way compares with yours.
Hahaba you totally cracked me up Lorraine! That’s so funny! I ve had something similar happen to me before but instead it was my alarm and I had chosen my alarm to be my ringtone and I had set multiple of them to go off haha every 15 minutes!
These Crepes are perfect for Halloween I think I might make them on Wednesday hehe
Most embarrassing song a lot of old 80s songs and lol one direction!
Haha this is cute. I don’t like licorice (I didn’t grow up eating this and the taste is still strange for me) but have to figure out different food and make this for kids. We’re going to have fun this weekend with your crepe idea!
Such a fun idea. You’re so clever, even if you didn’t realize it was your phone. I have Diana Ross’ Baby Love song as my ring tone for my daughter. Sometimes I’ll hear the song in a baby commercial, but my first thought is always that my daughter’s calling me. xoxo Mum
Your creepy crepes look great!! I can’t believe it’s Halloween time already…Christmas will be here before we know it – eek!
Miss 6 loved your pics & agreed that they were indeed creepy!
I love food with faces! Spooooookyyy!
My daughter downloaded The Chipmunks singing ‘We are family’ and ‘Party Rock Anthem’. I get traumatized every time they come on the rotation and don’t understand the regularity given there are 987 songs on my iPod and I skip them within seconds of them starting
Too cute to be creepy and I bet they taste great! Can’t wait to see what you get up to for Halloween this year, you never fail to impress us Lorraine!
Me, embarrassed by my choice of music , never, that is until my daughters ask ” what are you listening to mum ? ” Lol
Hahaha!!! I’m not sure… does Britney count as embarrassing? Spice Girls? I’m not embarrassed though!
Ooh, those are seriously eerie crepes!
(And I confess that I’ve some really OLD – c. late 1980s / early 1990s / my high school period – music on my iPod: KonKan, Tiffany, and even a bit of – shudders! – Roxette!)
Cute!
Cheers,
Rosa
LOL that was funny. And the crepe faces are very cute
Ha ha that is something I would do
Haha! Love them!
**I went into another shop and again Adele’s voice followed me around**
I so much appreciate how you add bits of your life into these posts.
Lorraine, Looooooooove the creepy faces
)) XX
I love these. Most embarrassing song? Heck, I have a whole album! In the Night Garden would be it. Yes, I do have the soundtrack of a show for 3 year olds which includes songs like “Upsy Daisy kisses everything in the garden” on my phone
yes very creepy – would be great for a halloween brunch – or just to freak you out when your phone gets a life of its own
Oh so Jack!
I have to make this at home this week!
These might put me off breakfast forever
Maureen, I wouldn’t have pegged you as a Halloween hater until now!
LOL – you’re so funny! (Oh I love reading how fun your phone convo with Mr. NQN on your Halloween post). This is so creative. I really need to learn a lot from you!
you could certainly do worse than having adele’s voice follow you around!
love the festive flapjacks.
these crepes are creepy but also cute at the same time!
How funny indeed! My ipod is full of Glee music, my family is very embarrased by it and won’t let me play it when they’re around
Maybe if I served them these pancakes at the same time …. 
I love crepes, how perfect for Halloween!
