Still in the Hamilton queue. I still have 26,126 people ahead of me. at this rate my turn will be in 9.5 hours. Le Sigh. I'm assuming I'll get notice it is sold out, but I'm hanging in the queue just in case others give up in droves.
Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

Because books.
I think I'm on my fourth fold of the pastry, I can't keep track.
Laminating dough by hand is hardcore!
No more bakery for me. Except possibly a few hours a week doing some admin stuff until she finds someone to replace me, or figures out how she wants to allocate tasks. Which is fine with me -- the new schedule gives me five weekday mornings until almost 2 p.m., so I'm planning to utilize the Y more regularly and also write at least an hour every day.
Not flu, says the weird urgent care doctor, just general sinus/upper respiratory badness, as usual. Whatever it is, I feel like death.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Congratulations, Jess! I hope this gives you some breathing room and a light at the end of the tunnel.
Sara, ugh. The uncertainty sucks.
Edit: WOO HOO AMY! That is wonderful.
Why yes, I started typing this at 9 am this morning and just now hit post. And missed a bunch of news evidently.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Some recipe I had for croissants included a trick for keeping track of how many folds you've made, but I haven't actually made it and don't remember the trick.
All jobs are strange, sumi, I agree. That sounds pretty good though!
Feel better, Amy.
ETA and beth

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
As you know, Bob, staying at home is one of my favorite things, so lamination should be next on my baking accomplishments list. (I'm sure one could do things in between folds, but would I? Probs no.)

I gave up on folding and just rolled up a couple dozen croissants. They're chilling in the fridge now. I even made some frangipane and put some almond in half a dozen of them...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Mmmmmm, homemade croissants. The last time I attempted them I cheated by chilling them in the freezer for 20 minutes in-between folds (instead of an hour in the fridge). It seemed to work just fine!
