Vive la Napoleon!!!

So besides the fact that it is my birthday. I had yet another wonderful day. Today we went over eclair paste or pate a choux. This paste was a little different to the ones we are custom to back home. Not light yellow but dark and all but brown. We are going to fill those tomorrow with I believe diplomat cream, creme chiboust (whipping cream and meringue or creme chantilly. One of those.

The piece de resistance of the day was when we got to finish off our Napoleons. HOW SWEET. I finally got to make one properly. A napoleon or mille feuille for those not pastry inclined is just baked puff pastry layers that sandwich diplomat cream topped with poured fondant and chocolate feathering; ie: one sexy ass looking and tasting dessert.



Yes people that is actual picture of my beautiful creation. Isn't she sexy!! Pssht best ting! LOL!!!!!

As for birthday celebration. I walked up the road and got myself some Chinese food which wasn't too bad. Kung Po chicken and Shredded pork in garlic sauce oh and chow mien. I got a shit load of rice though and burnt my tongue too. And the best part of the meal, the fortune cookie read: Genius is eternal patience. LOL. Yeah I know I am boring. Got a couple of suggests on how to celebrate properly; go out and get laid by some loose cougar in the city so she can show me a thing or two. The other was to go out with some of the guys here and have a party. Unfortunately I did neither. Yep I am sad like that.
