National Cream Puff Day

Today is National Cream Puff Day.

Though there isn't a lot of historical data in the threads, I believe this to be a celebration of the cream filled pastry originating from France instead of the ectomorphic body type typically compelled to do the bidding of some bully.

I recall my earliest experiences with this baker's confection to be back when I was a child. Later in time I would encounter these tidbits created en masse on large baking pans in Navy chow halls in Great Lakes and Orlando.

Regardless, I have consumed my fair share of these pastries whenever the opportunity presented itself — noting that the quality of both the pastry shell and the cream filling vary in consistency and flavor depending on who did the preparation.

By and large my favorites were whipped up by the cute little blonde mess management specialist in the Orlando chow hall hands down.

That wasn't the only food she prepared very well, either.
