Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Party. Avoid the Best Buy.
Only 3 hours to go. How're you doing, Perkins?
NAP!
Well, I'll just look silly napping in a bar. Won't I?
Ooh. Bar! nothing says merry merry like a bar!
Actually, nothing says Merry Merry like Jake Gyllenhaal running around nekkid with a santa hat covering his penis.
Not as silly as the woman sitting across from me.
She just started snoring, so I think she's napping.
Maybe I should go back to the bar. I think I would end up napping though, if I did.
Read up on deja vu.
I vote party, Kat, because I like parties.
It's not suet in the pastry, Spidra, (they're veggie) and if it's lard I wouldn't notice since that's what I use in my own pastries. They're more cakey (help me out here, Perkins) than flakey.
I think it's partially what they are made with (the secret ingredient is crack) and partially the pastry/fruit ratios. Because they are small, the pastry is more prominent.
But they do have crumbs in a way that pies...well, the sort I usually make...don't.
My pastry understanding is that typically there's a buttery/flakey continuum, but that the premise in a good flakey pastry is layers--the small lumps of cold butter melt and form flattened pockets of air. Those English apple pies have a crumb, instead of layers. My brain keeps tossing up shortbread, but that's not it.
