I learned this weekend from the best restaurant reviewer in the world that there is a pastry called “choux.” It is pronounced “shoe.” “Choux pastry, or pâte à choux, is a delicate pastry dough used in many pastries. It contains only butter, water, flour, and eggs. Instead of a raising agent, it employs high moisture content to create steam during cooking to puff the pastry. The pastry is used in many European and European-derived cuisines.” You knew that, of course. But I was past 60 before I learned how a French press works. (Thought it had something to do with printing those risque post cards.)

Oddly enough, “choux” is the word for cabbage. Get it? Cabbage >>> Cream Puff. Non? Neither do I.

Oh, about that 2019 return.  Was it a refund or balance due?  If balance due, did he pay it?  Did they cash the check?  He's been waiting for a bill all this time?  If a refund, he didn't notice it went undeposited?  Maybe just a zero balance.  I doubt they'll take it at the IRS office.  Just more carbon emissions.  Stay home and enjoy a slice of shoo-fly pie instead.
