Domo RAWR!

Is it just me, or is it sweltering HOT in here?! My brain is getting baked big time! Our garage exhaust has been running non-stop since this morning, and it really doesn't rest until the temperature is cool enough. HUH! It's already getting dark outside and still no love from the winds? Can't complain though... Gotta enjoy all the seasons in their entirety, right? ^__~

Domo Kun in the house! The hubby has been badgering me to cut Domo for the longest time. I was going to make a Domo Kitty (you know, a Domo Kun wearing a Herro Kitteh costume. YAHOO!) but decided against it. I made this sweet Domo instead.

Pulling Pork

I seriously pulled pork like a rockstar! WHOOT! Look at that glorious BBQ sauce dripping down on my slow-cooked-but-rushed pork butt. I braised it in... merm... rootbeer since I didn't have any broth in the fridge. Turned out quite well anyway ^_^

Labor Day Weekend

HURRAH! For hot air balloon rides and absolute cheeziness in the deserts of Arizona! ^_^

The -BER months & Profiteroles

What better way to celebrate the coming of the -BER months, aka the holiday months, than by whipping up some of these glorified cream puffs? I call them profiteroles, aka rounded eclairs, just cause they're smothered with chocolate rather than dusted with confectioner's sugar. Either way, they're filled with my favoritest-test filling of all time - ooey gooey, chilled pastry cream.

Oooooh, yes. I'm currently having a dangerous love affair with pastry cream... Want to share?
