This is very confusing--I'm sure after some practice I'll figure my way around this place.  How hard could it be?  Right??

The market down the street has raspberries on sale for a buck a container.  Biked down and grabbed ten containers.  Figured I'd make a cake with choux paste, then fill it with pastry cream, and top it with piles of raspberries.  With the rest, I'll make a couple of raspberry-marble cheesecakes.

This is going to be fun!  Maybe I should make the raspberry cheesecake with chocolate.  I know!  A dark chocolate sponge cake crust.  A milk chocolate batter with lots of raspberries.  A white chocolate-Kirsch glaze with raspberries on top.  I'll post pix!!  

Later for you guys.  I'm going to work!

Blithely Tripping Through Life

So, there I was, blithely soaring through the web, and I stumbled into Drayton Bird's blog - birddroppings.
Drayton is one of David Ogilvey's original "MadMen" from the "Olden Days." He refers to his musings as dollops of drivel - don't you just love the alliteration? Anyway, I was so impressed (bemused) that I forwarded it to some chums.
And that's how I came to set up my own blog.
I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to write about--I can almost guarantee it won't be as smooth, as entertaining as Drayton's "Drivel." But WTF? I need the practice. I need the experience on the keyboard. This is going to be fun! Until it isn't...
So, onward into this Strange New World with all the many strange new people in't.
