Bleh. Just to round off a pretty crappy and expensive weekend my wife bought me a choux bun from the supermarket to cheer me up and I only found out when I bit into it that the cream was very very mouldy.
'Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement' - Helen Keller
Possum had her first go at making choux pastry this afternoon while I was out. 18 prefect choux buns produced, filled with freshly shipped cream and drowned in hot chocolate sauce. Not keen on choux so it's pretty much the last thing I veer choose in a pastry shop or a dessert menu so only had 2 but they were good.
While she was whipping the cream and piping it into the buns I went out to water all my many many pots thoroughly as I'm leaving them all to the tender mercies of OH for a few days and the eejit came back from walking the dogs and locked me out cos he thought I was upstairs sewing! Turned off the terrace light that I need to see what I'm doing round the back too.
Humph!

Not convinced OH's brain is equipped for broadband download speeds B3. or maybe it's his ears given the number of times Possum and I have to repeat ourselves.
Works better with anything golf or sport related tho.......

Well it will be a long long time before I risk a choux bun again. I'm still sure I can taste it
I might go and brush my teeth again...
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I can't even look at pain au chocolate. I once saw little black flies flying in and out of one on display in a cafe at Gatwick Airport. The cafe is gone now thank goodness, but the memory lingers on.
@wild edgeswas it from a supermarket, if so, email them showing lots and lots of displeasure, with a bit of luck they will refund and compensate. I did it once with a packet of biscuits and they send one of those big tins like you get at Christmas.

I bought a bag bag of basil once from Asda and it said on the wrapper it compliments tomatoes. I wrote to Asda saying that the basil was next to the tomatoes for 24 hours and didn’t say a single kind word. They sent me a £5 voucher.

Yes indeed, well done Possum. I'm too impatient to drive a piping bag but she's good with it.
