Washington Mutual
Never much liked them. They took a deposit from my girlfriend, and never opened the account! Plus they charged me for some random crap. Turns out they're a bunch of shady mother fuckers! lol

Pate a Choux
in other words: cream puffs. I used a combination of these two recipes at Food Network and Epicurious. I've only made this recipe maybe twice before (once successfully?). The first time I made it I was replaying the Good Eats Pate a Choux episode scene by scene haha.
After baking I lay them out on a cooling rack (cookie tray/baking tray is hot! so they'll continue to cook on the bottom after you take them out...hence my overbaked cookies so many years ago lol)
I like to finish the cream puffs off dipped half in milk chocolate, and then drizzled with white chocolate for a beautiful finish.
Instead of filling it with pastry cream, I get vanilla pudding and use less milk to make it dense. I added some pure vanilla extract to give it more of a fresh vanilla flavor. Works well and a great time saver. Plus this Knox? unflavored gelatin I bought is freaking expensive... like $9 for a small container. I'm saving that more for savory applications like giving stocks more body.
Pics coming soon, just wanted to save this spot to come back to!
