I have attempted choux pastry. Not entirely convinced. Saint Delia's recipe better be right

I love choux pastry, even when it goes wrong. My moth used to sell cream puffs and profiteroles, so it reminds me of childhood. What are you making?

Gaucho grill used make delicious cheese puffs whicj i can never replicate....any one acheived that?


The nutella had to be spread, i am making pin wheels, so had to soften the nutella in a milk pan. What a saga for something that was meant to be easier!

Anyway, they are resting in the fridge and my melting moments are in the oven. Never knowingly under biscuited at coffee afternoo when women come to my house thats me.

PasturesNew

Today I opted for a hot pasty, eaten while sitting in my pasty eating spot .... followed by crisps (I bought a 6-pack the other week, tried one bag and hated them.... but can't waste them so I've been forcing myself to eat them since, all bags now gone) and mini Aldi Bubble bars (like mini Aeros).

I've also opened - and had two bowls of - a box of honey nut cornflakes, bought "in case I am hungry and CBA to move"

I was a bit disappointed to find that these need to be fixed to the ground. I rather fancied one suspended from one of the oak trees, preferably near the guy who doesn't like me looking through binoculars in his direction!:rotfl:

That's so freaky. I was just about to post the same pic, as DH has decided he wants one. Have they sent out an advert or something?

Grrrrr. I am cheating on a biscuit recipe, i chose one which is filled with nutella in order to save time and effort. I forgot our house was so cold nutella is like rock and doesn't spread over fragile bisvuit dough.

Ooh, yes, we had CBC the other day. Not the most sophisticated, but quite fun!

Sorry, we call it CBC - chocolate biscuit cake. It's basically biscuits + dark chocolate mushed up together with a bit of honey added.

I can confirm that it rained all the way to my parents house, then thunderstorm whilst we were there, and then there was a jackknifed caravan blocking the road on the way back. I must win something for my earlier prediction.

I bet you would have been cussing and getting fed up but the fact that it was as you had foretold meant you could just sit there calmly, shrug and enjoy the time with Mrs Chewwie-to-be.

Yes, so not that freaky!

I like the idea, but I think we have other priorities right now.
