Tea and Cream Puffs

I'm feeling a little under the weather today. I was boxing up a ton of books yesterday and I attributed the scratchiness in my throat to the dust but today it continued. Despite the copious amount of tea I drank, by the end of the day my voice was gone and I felt lousy. Naturally, being sick sucks, but the Drama Queen has been so helpful. Not only did she keep me supplied with hot tea to drink, she was very busy shushing me all night. She didn't want me to strain my voice.
Yarn for Bloomin' FeetAnyway, I was feeling slug-like even before I got sick because I'm really behind on my Bloomin' Feet. The problem is nothing new - just terminal indecisiveness on my part. My collection of sock yarn in the colors that my pal likes is pretty deep and I had a hard time choosing one. Now I have, Socks That Rock in Lapis. Next I need to choose a pattern but I think I have a good idea about that already. If I can just free up a set of size 2's (my favorite needles) then I can start knitting these up.

Cream PuffsOn another random note, I did a little baking last weekend. Stinkerbelle and I were at one of our favorite stores recently and they were giving out samples of frozen cream puffs and we bought some. As we drove home, I suggested to Stink that we could try making some ourselves. She was totally up for it. I love cooking with my girls.

Then, last week, I saw Carole's post about Cream Puff Day and it inspired me to fire up the oven last weekend. These are the results. They don't look that bad and they taste really good. We all enjoyed them except for Stink - she decided that it was more fun to make them than eat them. Do you see a little trend here?

Cream puffs are everywhere these days! We've got a Japanese store here in the Bay Area, Beard Papa, that makes amazing ones! Yours look great!

The cream puffs look terrific. Did you use pudding for the filling? Mmmm.

The yarn is gorgeous. I think they'll make some beautiful socks.

I've been stalling on my BF pal...mostly because I have too many things on the needles! LOVE the cream puffs.

She'll be one of those chefs that makes all sorts of fantastic foods and is satisfied with just one bite. I could never be that chef.....

Sure hope you feel better fast! Nice cream puffs too! My girls would rather watch me bake then eat;)
