Observation

I can be a bigot, and I can be stupid.

For example: I had saved a bookmark to a site with an eclair recipe. I'd never made it. I was thinking that I'd like to bake something tomorrow, and so, going through bookmarks, I found it. Hmmm.... prepackaged vanilla pudding? store-bought graham crackers? Nope, not for me. If I can't make it from scratch, it's not real baking. So I tossed it.

Then I found this. Ah, I said, that's more like it. Choux pastry, vanilla custard filling, chocolate ganache on top. Course....that is a fair amount of work. Wish there was a faster way. Maybe next time.

Yeah, I know. Nothin' dumber than a stupid baking bigot.
