I worked from home on Wednesday morning. I had a little time so I made Mr. Poe some Petits Choux au Fromage using Julia Child’s recipe. I followed Jacques Pepin’s advice and let them dry out in the oven and they turned out beautifully. They’re supposed to be eaten unfilled but I didn’t think they were going to be cheesy enough for Mr. Poe. He proved me wrong by eating ten of them in a sitting by the time I’d gotten home on Wednesday night:
I got a couple of pics of Mr. Poe’s garden on my way out mid day. The wisteria is coming into bloom and is going to look fantastic:
As will the jasmine:
Then I headed over to the Golden Gate Bridge for my CAT2 ride. We had five riders show up and it was a gorgeous day for it. I spent the whole time with one of the riders who’s just starting out– not just in training but on a bicycle. I spent the whole time trying to teach him how to use his gears. He’s got a lot of work to do between now and the ride and I’m hoping he’ll get there. Here’s everybody in Tiburon:
We headed home and Mr. Poe was waiting for me. He had a bit of an upset stomach because of the earlier mentioned choux binge but he’d made me some dinner anyway. I got cleaned up and went to bed.
