BANANA ECLAIR - woo baby yeah!!

First discovered by Joe Brooks, the banana éclair available from Maison Bertaux Patisserie Francais, has got to be THE MOST AMAZING ÉCLAIR ON EARTH as voted by Pippa and I.

Pippa and I went halvies on Saturday when we were working together in the office. However, come Sunday when I went in to continue working on the VAT quarter, I had the banana éclair call my name. After I let Abbie and Lee into Maison B for some out of hours shopping, I had to call in and get a couple of éclairs for back at the office. All for myself. Johan was serving on Sunday and he asked if I needed a box or a bag and I said "No I will be a pig and eat them immediately." He told me, "Ahhh yes when it comes to cake it is good to be a pig. You must eat cake fresh." Then he handed me the éclairs and said "Are they both for you?" I said "Yes." Johan told me, "You are a good girl," with a big smile on his face. "Help yourself to serviettes by the door on the way out."

Back at the office, the rehearsals for the Soho Lounge or whatever it is called now - it used be the Raymond Review Bar tho - were still going. The woman was singing a 'soulful funky bluesed out jazzy verision' Gold Finger - even mimicing the trumpets "WAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH WAHHHHHHHHHHH" - it wasn't cool. I nearly killed myself over her rendition of "Wuthering Heights". But then I realised it was only one section of a medley and not worth my effort. I'm glad I didn't have to sit through the whole version though.
