1/2 cup shaved dark chocolate (or to taste)
For the puff pastry:
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (half of 17.3-ounce package), thawed

Well I was grateful that Romana had given me so many books abt pregnancy! She had also told me so much abt that “life changing” subject. She had given me children’s clothing – pregnancy clothes and thermometer for the bath, a scissor for the nails (baby) and even some pads for the bra (so the milk was not dripping).

I had no idea when I bookmarked the "Pastry" sneaker months ago that it would be one of this season's hardest item to get your hands on---especially serial procrastinators like me! I've added a new image similar to the one's I searched the stores for, with no luck. Not for me but my daughter.

My friend is both an amazing chef and photographer. We joke that she specializes in "pastry porn" because everything she makes looks too good to be true. Then, a few days ago on Sugar, I noticed that the most viewed bookmark was a picture of lemon bars.
