Profiteroles

After watching a late night show on how to make Mille-Feuille, sleeping through most of it, I remember thinking that it looked easy. So looking it up on Martha Stewart I got side tracked. I made this instead. It was AMAZING! Of course, I used Godiva's 72% dark chocolate instead of the pathetic chocolate sauce the recipe called for, including corn syrup.

We had the missionaries over for dinner and on the menu? Bean & Cheese burritoes with homemade tortillas, of course, and this BEAUTIFUL CREAM PUFF! I absolutely loved the combination! (I am kidding. But I do love Random.) Sort of Mexican meets France.

Anyway, the recipe is probably the EASIEST dessert I have ever made. No joke. Click HERE for the how-to video.

Hurricane Earl

Walking outside after 2 days of rain I was half tempted to jump in the water! Unfortunately it's a little cold, even though it was hot outside. It's just not the same as desert rain. For 3 days we had to use the back door. It may not look deep in the picture, but it was about 6 inches. Clark and I were watching t.v. during the storm and heard a loud CRACK. Yep. It was pretty cool. The wind knocked over the hugest tree and it was a domino effect from there. There were about 5 trees total that were knocked over.

Une délicieuse escroquerie

Check out my new music widget to the right. My "french brother" is quite the famous french musician. Une valeur montante de la chanson française. Happy listening!
