My Christmas Croquembouche

Sigh...

^ Same

If anyone had a Croquembouche...I'd expect it to be Greg

and maybe Marie Osmond

Le sigh

Is it stuffed with prunes?

So needy

Puhleeeze.

Greg's recipes give me diarrhea.

It’s becoming more obvious with each post that Greg is just another DeFacto incarnation. Blast it.

R8, please be kind.

Greg, you are so completely boring. Please go away.

That’s right, R9–I am DeFacto. That was established long ago.

[quote] Greg, you are so completely boring. Please go away.

I don’t think I will.

But I’ll try to be more exciting!

Croquembouche is one of the most wonderful desserts in the world. It combines three complementary favorite flavors and textures: pate a choux, creme patissiere, and caramel.

You know what that looks like R15? An Alien egg nest.

Greg's version combines prunes, sardines, and peanut butter.

Surely you got a pic or two of this towering masterpiece?

I love Jamie of Jamie and Julia. Yeah, sometimes his meltdowns are a bit over-the-top and he's a bit goofy.

But I find him sexy as fuck.

Sadly, R18, I didn't get the opportunity to take a picture of the croquembouche. I must admit that I became quite aroused at the sight of it, glistening under the fluorescent lights in my kitchen. Please excuse me if I'm divulging too much information, but I dropped my trousers and pleasured myself in a way I hadn't expected whilst preparing the dessert! Less calories this way, I suppose! All in all, it was well enjoyed and I'm sure it tasted as delectable as it looked and felt.

Go away, GermanGayGuy2

You have no skeleton, OP. I don't think I have to explain this.

Dustin is GermanGayGuy right?

Greg, did you use a form?

I’d rather eat sugar free haribos. In large quantities.

[quote] Greg, did you use a form?

No, R24 - totally free-balled it.

I’m not surprised that there’s one idiot out here who is looking to post something juvenile, but the fact that there are six others who give him a ww? How the DL has fallen.

[quote] Greg's version combines prunes, sardines, and peanut butter.

Clearly R20 was not me.

[quote] Less calories this way, I suppose!

Everyone knows I would NEVER say “less calories.”

And do you know why I would never say “less calories?” Because I am not stupid.

[quote] You have no skeleton, OP. I don't think I have to explain this.

What makes you say that, R22?

How do you know what I have and don’t have?

Yes, of course, R18. I might use it as next year’s Christmas card.

[quote]Dustin is GermanGayGuy right?

WTF? Why would you say that?

Sadly, Greg passed away today after mounting his dried out, stale Christmas Croquembouche.

Remember boys, using stale pastries as sex toys can lead to an undignified death.

Mourners are asked to send prunes and cod to their local food banks, in lieu of flowers.

R32, Resurrexi, sicut dixi!

Bravo R32!

It's dixi[bold]t[/bold] you whore R33.

That would be: "I rose as he said" rather than "I rose as I said."

You may be mistaking what I wrote for the liturgical, "Resurrexit sicut dixit" which means, "He has risen as he said."

Now who's the whore, ya dumb whore.

Please die in one of your own grease fires R35.

R33 Not speaking Latin myself, I am nevertheless surprised to see commas in your quote. Thought punctuation was a relatively recent innovation.

R37, you are correct. But it is used in Ecclesiastical Latin.

Please die in one of your own grease fires R38.

Greg's turds look like Croquembouches.

Thank you, R40, but I thought you didn't want us to talk about your love of my...croquembouches?

Apparently Bellevue has their Wi-Fi up and running again.

Good one!

2023 - The DL Year of Greg!

Greg is 18th-/19th-century French bishop Charles Talleyrand and no one can convince me otherwise.

Thank you, R44, but Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord was excommunicated by Pope Pius VI in 1791!

It's not the time travel that gets me, but rather the excommunication.

Fair enough.

What about Bishop Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord convinced you that he and I are one and the same?

Your croquembouches.

R47- Your casual deployment of ecclesiastical Latin while being rather atheistic overall, and your persistent emphasis on the importance of tasteful luxury.

And though Talleyrand was a whore, he was a discreet one. This latter point is not a commentary on your recreations or character, though, I assure you.

Thank you, R49. Though [bold] I [/bold] assure [bold] you [/bold] that I am not an atheist. Furthermore, good taste and luxury are not one and the same. I have no comment on Talleyrand being a whore, discreet or otherwise.
