*sigh* Eclair seems to be aging faster then her mother.
She went to the vet a few weeks ago because she had a lump. We had it removed and she's doing very well now but as you can see from this picture she's silvering very much.

In addition to $25 worth of assorted cookies (sold by the pound), we picked up an eclair from Vaccaro's in Baltimore. This thing was huge and had significant heft to it. We decided to save it for breakfast.
I couldn't only eat about 1/3 of it, and Benson had a few bites. In the end we had to throw most of it away. :(

This recipe seems very simple from here.But then for each word you need another recipe and it comes out not being so simple! I tried once. Took half the afternoon but I was happy of the result. This book is the big book from the French chefs of the fifties. Huge book with all the known chefs of the time. Of course cooking has been evoluting since then, but you find all the basics here. I got it from my grand father. The edition is 1957, 1042 pages.
According to the "Dictionnaire de la langue française d'Émile Littré" (one of the greatest dictionary of French languages from the XIXth century) in 1864; the name comes from the fact that you can eat it very quickly, as fast as a lightening (in French éclair means lightening or flash, and in figurative it means something going on very quickly). Another possible explanation is about the bright topping, compared to the brightness of a lightening.
VDN (notre fournisseur d'internet) nous a encore lâché hier soir, cette fois-ci ce serait à cause des orages. Il est moins stable que notre fournisseur d'Internet par câble précédent. Espérons qu'il ne s'agisse là que de petits problèmes de croissance pour cette nouvelle branche de Bell. Je mettrai 2 photos du jour ce soir.
VDN (our internet service provider) had let us down yesterday evening. It's less reliable than our previous internet cable company. Let's wish that it is a temporary situation caused by growth related problems. This evening I will put 2 pictures of the day.
Photo prise pendant la tempête en question, ma blonde et moi sommes allés en voiture trouver un dessous de viaduc pour être à l'abris et pour me permettre de prendre des photos avec longue exposition. Vous pouvez voir l'image en plus grand format ici.
Picture taken the very same evening in question, my girlfriend and I drove to an underpass to be somehow protected against rain and to be able to take some long exposures snapshots. You can see a bigger version of the picture here.
