I finished the front and the back of the Dad Sweater and should be starting the sleeves. When I am close to finishing a project or a huge part thereof, I can't stop knitting, and then, when it's done, I sometimes lose the drive to knit for days on end. It always comes back with a vengeance, so I'm not overly concerned. But what to do with all that free time?
Well, today, I made profiteroles, more colloquially known as cream puffs. Made the dough from scratch, made creme patissiere from scratch (custard, not pudding), and dunked them in semisweet chocolate.
The presentation is not exactly professional, but they are yummy. I think I ate 5.

Oh wow, they sound complicated, and look yummy!
Oh yum--they look delicious!!
Delish!!! I guess if the knitting has to be put on hold, the baking is a good replacement hobby!! yummy!
*drools*
Baking has a bit more instant gratification than knitting, sometimes it's nice to make something that is done within an hour or two! :-)
Those look so yummmmmmy. I wish I had one to eat right now :)
they look so yummy!
Ooo! I haven't made cream puffs in ages. I like waiting til blueberry season and filling them with cream and blueberries. Your chocolate ones look delish!!!
Mmmmm, those look good. I should not be reading blogs before breakfast. Now I want a cream puff for breakfast!
Boy, do those look scrumptious!
Those look sooo good! No worries, you'll get back to knitting eventually.
OMG!!! OMG!! Those are like my all time favorite homemade dessert. They look soooo yummy.
I made some for a baby shower once, and melted some chocolate, piped out some hearts to top them with.
Hallo Batty,
ich würde auch gerne mindestens 5 davon essen, aber zwischenzeitlich sind sie wohl schon alle weg.
Liebe Grüße

Hey, if you're not going to knit, food is always a great alternative! ;)
Those look yummy!
Wow!! I love profiteroles, gorgeous - I'm impressed.
I know not to grocery shop while hungry, but I never figured it'd be dangerous to blog read while hungry! Must. have. creampuffs! Those look to die for.
Mmmmmmm. I've made Boston creme pie from scratch, similar concept but a smidge less easy to accidentally eat 40. You have to cut each slice, after all.
Still. Add this to the list, must make soon...
yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm can I come over?
ooh, i love creme puffs! they look delicious.
How could you only eat five!??! Profiteroles are my favourite. Please send me some...
Wish I could bake. I love the idea of that instant gratification!
Yummy..you are really making the mind (and tummy) of a pregnant woman spin! Now I wonder what I have in the fridge...? I'm excited about the Dad sweater as well, can't wait to see it finished.
Delicious!
