I just asked Miss Ari for a kiss, and she proceeded to headbutt me like, six times. In the face. And then, she said "kiss nose!" To be fair, I was laughing too hard to stop her from headbutting me the last five times, and so was Thad, who was watching the whole thing.
I had a great Mother's Day. Thad watched Ari while I went to see a movie, and then there was pie. What more could I ask for?
I never was much of a baker but somehow I had the magic touch when it came to cream puffs. The secret is to take them out of the oven a few minutes before they're done and use the tip of a sharp knife to cut a tiny hole in each one to let some of the steam escape so the don't get soggy.
ReplyDeleteI especially love gougères which are savory cream puffs made with cheese and stuffed with suitable goodies. Here's a recipe.
I haven't made these in years. Someday when I'm not on a diet maybe I'll try them again.
