just managed to break i key while attempting to unjam u key.

must brave regent street tomorrow :(

Just made pâté à choux (to be pretentious about it).

Nearly screwed it up: I was piping the puffs and saw that I hadn't added all the egg! So it had to go back n the pan and have the rest beaten in.

There is crème pâtissière in the fridge to fill it (much nicer than plain cream, which is more popular in Britain--though pastry cream lightened with whipped cream, aka crème Chiboust, is good too.

Seville oranges are in Waitrose now, if any of you have recipes for them! (I have various sour orange recipes--you can use them in a lot of the same ways you use lemons. Although I'm a bit iffy on any involving cream--reminds me of Creamsicles, which I never liked! Perhaps if I'd never had them I'd like the combination today...)

In my copy of Baking and Pastry, it says "Paris Breast" instead of "Paris-Brest".

(The pastry was named after a bicycle race.)

Someone was a lazy proofreader and just used the MS-Word spell check!
