The thunder were strong this morning, pretty unusual for the season. Now I remind that I made choux dough last week and I have several eclairs in my freezer. I only have to make the cream filling.

@LadyDuck I'm afraid my skills don't extend to making my own eclairs - mine were shop bought.

I cannot believe that the temperature dropped so much in only a few hours. I hope that spring will be back soon.

Do you have to display a photograph of cake after I have arrived home? If you had posted this earlier I may have picked something similar up while I was out.

@Asylum I had no idea that it was so cold and when I saw the cake I thought it was a good idea to have some and take a break when back home.

First of all you should not tempt us with a picture of delicacies and a hot cup of tea, without inviting us.

Sudden storm brought down the temperature and you had a tough time going outside your home. Hope you would have enjoyed your hot cup of tea with cake. Summer season has started here and now we need to arrange for cold (soft) drinks and fruits like watermelon, melon and mangoes etc. to keep ourselves cool.

@pgntwo To be honest I keep the chocolate inside the atomic shelter and bring in the kitchen only a few pieces. The door of the shelter is so heavy that prevents me to go there all the time to eat chocolate.
