Today we are cooking profiterole. We are actually going to miss a few steps (well most of them); this is because of the wrestling match that took place during the cooking. Eva lost. I executed a Judo throw and pinned her on the couch for the 1-2-3 count.

Anyway, basically you put some stuff in a pot and melt it.

Keep an eye on the buns.
