on cheese puffs and blankets

Classic Gougeres

Cheese puffs- I used cheddar instead of gruyere cheese, because that's what I had. Light and delicious.

And I finally finished this blanket that I started in Dec- to be fair, I had another blanket I made while I was still in the middle of this one. Now, however, I need a new knitting project. Possibly a rug out of my remnants.

I tried making puff pastry, I used this recipe, and it actually puffed! I was so excited!

See, it puffed!

But, when you consider how much time and energy it takes to make this, and that a 17 oz package costs < $4, it's probably just easier to buy puff pastry sheets at the grocery store.

Palmier cookies- puff pastry + lots of sugar, rolled and sliced. Yummy!


I still have a lump of dough in the freezer, I should consider how to use it...
