I'll Start the Diet Tomorrow

One of the advantages of working on my own is that I get to meet with clients all over the city.  Today I had a meeting in West Los Angeles and just happened to drive by Beard Papa's Cream Puffs.  This is the popular Japanese chain that has recently started to infiltrate California, destined to become the Far East Krispy Kreme overkill. Everyone raves about them and I had to try one out of curiosity to see if people were exaggerating.

Unfortunately, they are delicious. What makes them unique is the fact that they are a light choux pastry shell, filled when you order, with an out-of-this-world, whipped cream custard.  I immediately inhaled one and realized, as it permeated my stomach, that I would live to regret it.  Within my body, I could immediately feel the eggs, cream, and butter high-five my pre-existing fat cells and then take up permanent residence in my ass. I don't know if I will ever be able to evict them. These cream puffs are so calorie ridden, I will have to limit my intake to a special occasion (when I am sugar and fat deprived) and not just the fact that I am in the neighborhood.

Come on! You made me drool and it's not even lunch time. Add to that the fact that I'm on the other coast. Wah! Grabbing a couple of wheat thins is probably going to not make things much better so I'll console myself that I enjoyed your blog - even while lusting for those cream-puffs!
