National Chocolate Eclair Day! June 22nd

Hahaaaa....How in the World do I find this stuff OUT??? I don't know...But, I'm IN!Hahaa...Paula Deen has a great sounding recipe for them so if you're interested, go to my Cooking blog and get 'ta baking up some YUM!!


Well, after months of it being a "dry bone" around here, we FINALLY got some rain! Last night I stayed up to listen to the storm roll in around midnight, in a big way! Heat lightening was non-stop...then the rain started along with thunder....sigh. God took pity and I am SO grateful!


Well, hope you all are happy and safe today...Now, go get in that kitchen and Celebrate with some eclairs of your own! I'm stuck at my desk...but donations WILL be accepted!!Hahaaaa

That is just cruel! While I'm sitting here eating my yogurt with granola, drooling over that delicious looking chocolate eclair! Yummo! I'm a great cook, but as far as baking? Not so much. Don't know why.

Donna said...

We have had so many tornado watches/warnings and thunderstorm watches/warnings that are really scary. The storms blow in, do there thing and leave. We have been out of power and everything.

Now, to that eclair. Oh, so delicious looking. But, I have been craving yogurt and granola. Love that stuff !! *HUGS*

Donna said...

I'm so glad you and Roy are safe sweetie...Ready for an eclair?Lolol

I just know you will. {{{hugs}}}

LOL, Where DO you come up with this stuff!? We've been getting some needed rain here too. Powerful storms knocked out our internet and cable though! Lordy, talk about withdrawal! Hope you got your chocolate fix today!

Jenny said...

We had a massive storm last night too! The lightning lit up our whole bedroom so much I could've eaten eclairs by the dozen without even turning on a light ...

bichonpawz said...

Mira Crisp said...

tooo funny! we have rain at least 3 days a week here and I am kinda tired of it. But I also like it since it keeps everything green! :)

Latane Barton said...

I can almost smell that rain--you can thank me now for sending ours your way. I only share with my nearest and dearest, you know!
Happy and hopefully soggy weekend!

Debbie Lo said...

Oh, crap! See what happens what I get behind on reading my fellow bloggers' posts? Eclair day was 6/22 and I missed it!!!!

Ah well. Like others have said, we can still eat them ANY time of year, right? ;-) Thanks for keeping us in the know, Miss Donna!

And I was really happy to hear that you guys finally got some much-needed rain!!!!
