I don't yet have a new job, but I'm working on a small project for a local company that will hopefully evolve into full-time employment.

Last night we attended a going-away party for a great neighbor who's moving out of state. The hostess at the party made cream puffs. Can you believe that? And they were better than ours. I think the only difference is that she cooked them at a lower temperature for a longer time. We're going to try that and see if that's the trick. And... she made a topping of chocolate ganache... and... we watched her make an eclair filling from custard, cream, powdered sugar, vanilla and a little cornstarch. Yummm! We'll post a recipe once we've tried that.

I'm thinking one of these days we should have a cooking night where we have foody people over and we cook while they're here.

I'm mad at Toyota. They charged me more for service than what I signed for, and didn't ask first. hmph.

It snowed on us today.
