Almost every European country has its own version. In France, it’s called a crepe; in Russia, it’s

named a blitz; in the Ukraine, everyone knows it as a blini. Most recently, folks in Dripping Springs have started refer-ring to it as that wonderful new food at Crepe Crazy.

At their small restaurant on High-way 290, Sergei and Inna Giterman cook up the favorite food of their na-tive Ukraine for the numbers of enthu-siastic Texas crepe lovers and a steadily growing crowd of curious converts.

Sergei uses his grandmother Ba-bushka’s original recipes to create the luscious flatcakes that only the uniniti-ated would compare to pancakes.

Crepe Crazy offers five breakfast crepes to choose from, ranging from a G’morning Parfait crepe filled with

vanilla yogurt, bananas, strawberries, toasted almonds and honey; to the hearty Fiesta crepe stuffed with scram-bled eggs, jack cheese, chorizo, black beans, cilantro and homemade salsa.

Ten savory lunch and dinner crepes include the Scandinavian (smoked salmon, pickled red onions, whipped cream cheese, capers, lemon and dill), the Caprese (sliced buffalo, mozzarella cheese, basil pesto, tomatoes and bal-samic reduction glaze), and the Medi-terranean Medley (sun-dried tomato pesto, hummus, feta cheese, fire-roast-ed red bell peppers, red onions, cucum-bers, and spinach with optional grilled chicken).

There are also gluten-free options. Sweet crepes are classic: Caramel-

ized Apple &White Chocolate Sauce with nuts, Brown Sugar and Cinnamon

with caramel sauce, Sweet Cream De-light with strawberries and raspberry sauce, and several other decadent indul-gences. November’s seasonal offering will be pumpkin crepes.

In addition to crepes, Crepe Crazy’s menu features sandwiches (including a Panini), salads, a daily seasonal soup and a kids menu. There’s Nutella® hot chocolate, spiced chai latte, espresso, cappuccino, mocha and coffee/tea, along with smoothies, Moo-thies (peanut but-

ter or Nutella® milkshakes), juices, and cold fountain drinks. Wine and beer are coming soon, says Sergei.

Sergei sources many of Crepe Cra-zy’s ingredients from the area, shopping at farmers markets in Dripping Springs and Austin. This summer’s popular peach cobbler crepes were made with Fredericksburg peaches, he says.

Service in the restaurant is incred-ibly quiet - in fact, silent. Sergei and Inna, along with many of their employees, are

deaf and communicate through sign lan-guage and writing on an eraseable pad (along with the ever-handy pointing to items on the menu). Phone-in orders are simplified by the use of Video Relay Ser-vice (VRS) that connects customers and restaurant personnel in real time through a sign language interpreter.

Seven tables inside the restaurant can seat 22 people; more can be accommodat-ed at tables outside under the shade of an awning.

Before setting up shop in Dripping Springs, Sergei and Inna had Crepe Crazy on the road, selling at outdoor festivals from Tennessee to Texas. To get their fa-vorite crepes regularly, Austin customers begged Sergei and Inna to set up a physi-cal restaurant for Crepe Crazy, and the couple decided Dripping Springs was the ideal location.

“We have customers who regularly drive from Austin for crepes,” reports Sergei. “They find it’s easier to get to Dripping than to north Austin,” he says.

Crepe Crazy still hits the road occa-

sionally to set up their booth at festivals and to cater private events. They just fin-ished a weekend at the Texas Book Fes-tival and the Fredericksburg Food and Wine Fest. In December, they’ll spend three weeks at the Austin Trail of Lights.

FYI • Crepe Crazy is located at 660 B West Highway 290, next to Oak Creek Cafe. Serving hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 8 am to 8 pm and Sunday from 8 am to 3 pm. For more information, call 512-524-3198 (VRS interpreter available) or visit www.crepecrazy.com.

The Hill Country Senior Citizen’s Thrift Store has been showing the Dripping Springs community for

years that what’s trash for one person is treasure for another. With the events of the last few weeks, Dripping Springs is now showing the Thrift Store that what was a problem for one person can become an opportunity for the whole community.

October 9, manager Chris Kelley posted on Facebook that the Thrift Store had a visit from a City employee, follow-ing a complaint he received about donat-ed items being visible from the street

As a result, Chris’ post said, the Thrift Store would be forced to greatly reduce the number and types of items it could accept in the future. This was going to greatly affect what the store had to offer, he pointed out.

“It’s amazing how one person can hurt so many, but what is done is done,” he said with finality.

Then came the community response. Chris’ post on Facebook the next day had a different ring to it.

“Thank you everyone for the amaz-ing show of love and support for our little shop. I met with Randy Peterson today and we have a plan to move forward. We will need to raise about $8000 with the GoFundMe, but we will provide detail as it comes available....”

In the weeks since, plans to build an outdoor enclosure covering and expand-ing the donation/sorting areas have been progressing as quickly as the contribu-tions pouring into the GoFundMe website to pay for it.

Labor and materials have been volun-teered and the response has been so posi-tive that Chris and crew have expanded their plans to include an entire rearrange-ment of the store’s interior.

Chris waves his arms in large ges-tures as he describes the plans. “Basically, we’re moving everything that’s in the back room to the front of the store,” he ex-plains. “That leaves the entire back room for clothing and new dressing rooms.”

Larger items (furniture, home decor and electronics) will be in the front room, with small inexpensive items moved to new bins in the enclosed area outside, he says.

Work will be ongoing through the next few weeks, he says, and help of all kinds is still being sought.

Chris admits to being a little over-whelmed by the generosity of the commu-nity’s response. “We just feel so blessed to be part of this great little town!” he shakes his head in amazement.

FYI • The Senior Citizens Thrift Store is located at 1310 Highway 290 West in Dripping Springs. Hours are Monday through Saturday from 9 am to 4 pm and Thursday evenings until 8 pm. For more information, to volunteer, or to donate to the GoFundMe campaign, visit the Dripping Springs Senior Citizens Facebook page, or call 512-858-4055.

Charlie Harris, owner of Storied Firearms outside Oak Hill, is wearing a big belt buckle and an

even bigger grin these days. This past June, Charlie was awarded the buckle and a trophy as a world champion at END of TRAIL — The World Champi-onship of Cowboy Action Shooting in Edgewood, New Mexico.

Charlie - better known in Cowboy Action Shooting circles as “The Phan-tom” - won first place in the 49ers Divi-sion (competitors ages 49-59), beating out dozens of rivals bearing such aliases as Colorado Blackjack and Snake River Bill. Charlie also placed seventh in the event’s Final Overall Results category, against close to 550 other competitors.

Part marksmanship competition, part Old West role-playing — mixed with a lot of good fun - Cowboy Action Shooting is the fastest-growing out-door shooting sport in the country. The competitions not only test shooters’ speed and accuracy, but also re-create the days of the Old West and celebrate of the cowboy lifestyle.

All contestants use firearms typical of those in the Old West: single action revolvers, lever action rifles and double barrel shotguns. The shooting com-petition is a timed sport, where speed and accuracy both count and the steel targets are often in motion. Shooters compete in different divisions based on age and experience, on a course with twelve different shooting stages. Win-ners take home buckles, trophies and bragging rights.

And all are in costume! Each partic-ipant adopts a shooting alias appropri-ate to a character or profession from the late 1800s, a Hollywood western star, or a character from fiction.

They then develop a costume to flesh out their new identity. For many

participants, the costuming is as much fun as the shooting competition and there are awards for best costumes, too.

Competitors come in all ages and from as far away as New Zealand and Australia.

“There are seven- and eight-year-old kids competing, along with an 88-year-old grandmother that was shooting right next to me!” says Charlie.

Cowboy Action Shooting boasts the largest percentage of female contestant of any shooting sport, he adds.

While it is a competition, the main idea, Charlie insists, is to have fun.

“It’s hard to take yourself too seri-ously when you’re dressed up as Roy Rogers,” he jokes.

This was Charlie’s 10th competi-tion and he’s gotten wiser and devel-oped better strategies over that time, he reports. “I stuck with a game plan and it worked out for me,” he says trium-phantly.

Charlie has a certain advantage in a contest using (modern reproductions of) Old West firearms, since much of his

time at Storied Firearms is spent help-ing people learn about heirloom fire-arms they’ve inherited or acquired.

Charlie and wife, Cherie, are dedi-cated to documenting and preserv-ing the history, big and small, that each seasoned firearm carries with it. “People come in with a gun they’ve in-herited from their dad or another rela-tive,” Charlie explains, “and they don’t know exactly where it came from or the whole history behind it.”

That’s a tantalizing challenge for Charlie, who’s as much history buff as gun lover.

Storied Firearm’s collection of an-tique, collectible and modern firearms includes Colt single action army re-volvers with gleaming white handles, an 1855 Colt revolving carbine, a rep-lica 1847 Colt Walker revolver, an origi-nal 1859 Colt Dragoon, an 1873 Spring-field trap door rifle - and even a 19th Century harpoon gun.

FYI • END of TRAIL World Championship is sponsored by the Single Action Shooting Society® that governs all Cowboy Action Shooting events worldwide. It is held every June at their headquarters in Edgewood, New Mexico. Numerous local and regional Cowboy Ac-tion Shooting matches are held throughout the year, sponsored by over 700 SASS-sanctioned clubs in all 50 states and 18 foreign countries.
