yummy pastries :D

so i went to half-price today and bought a cool new pastry making book...the recipes were simple and straightfoward which i loved and i quickly tried out a couple tonight alone.

1st: cherry-almond windmills...yummy...i cheated a little and bought pre-made frozen pastry dough tho...you can get it at your local grocery store in the frozen deserts aisle.

2nd: john came over and we tried the chocolate eclair recipe...yummy, i made him do all the hard whisking work...hehe...i did provide all the materials and equipment :P...we also substituted half of the vanilla in the creme for almond extract to give it a twist.
