We went to pick up some of those Beard Papa's, touted to be the world's best cream puffs. Not cheap at all for just cream puffs. At $2.25 a piece, I could never bring myself to buy them. But then Lay Keow had asked Nic to get them for her and bring them to San Ramon, assuming Nic would show for her dental. But with mid-terms at their peak, I could not bring myself to drag her from her books so I went to her instead. Picked up some for Nik as well since Nik has always been generous to a fault, 6 for the exam-stressed one and 6 for the half man (maybe three quarter, depending on the maturity of his behavior). Cheaper to buy by the half dozen. But still cost me a small fortune. We spent quite a bit of time in the little shop because they did not have the coffee and had run out of chocolate flavors and I had to spend time explaining to LK on the phone and offering the limited choices available. All were sold out except Vanilla Beans and Cookie Crunch, vanilla or caramel.
Lay Keow was so sweet. Wrote a real emo thank you email. And Nik who was expecting her mahjong kakis did not even notice it was me at her door at 7:30 pm with a box of cream puffs. She opened the door, mutter somethings, went to her kitchen talking to herself and left me at the door with the box. I had to follow her and called her by name before she realized it was me. I could have been the chain saw murderer and she won't have been any the wiser. She thought she needed only two puffs but one look at them, and she accepted the whole box :).
Had one of them Beard Papa's at night. They are good! But at that kind of price, I think I need only try them once. Thank you very much.
After the heavy rains, today turned out to be just beautiful. The sun is out. Flowers are blooming everywhere. Spring is definitely around the corner. Took some pictures with the camcorder.
But here are some from our own little backyard.
