Personal Trainer: Cooking — Making Sugar Crepes

Aside from the recent hinge crack, I figured I may as well make a brief post on what I was doing during the day of said incident.

I was in the middle of working through a sugar crepes recipe. After letting the batter sit for a few hours, I opened up the DS again to continue the recipe (when the fated hinge crack occurred).

A description of the cooking process follows after the cut, along with a couple of low-quality images taken in the middle of the night.

Dreaded DS Lite Hinge Crack

I tried to prevent it as much as I could.

I put my limited edition Pokemon DS Lite in a clear support case almost immediately after I bought it.

Excuse the poor image quality.

I always opened it only up to the first “click”, and never the second or third.

Even when playing “book style” games like Hotel Dusk or Tokimeki GS, I pretty much kept the DS half-closed because I was afraid of putting too much pressure on the hinges.
