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.

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!

Not as bad as when I forgot the eggs in the batter for Emmett's birthday cake.

I wouldn't have survived the first day!
Fortunately the attendees were all 9 year old boys so they didn't care as long as it had frosting.
It completely fell apart without eggs, of course.
