My employer announced they are doing a talent competition. Luckily, I have no talent.
Didn't we see you singing in a video not that long ago??
I think you should! I have also been watching a lot of GBBO, and I am here to encourage you Mel & Sue style!
I have bookmarked a recipe for rough puff that only uses like 1.5 sticks of butter, so that sounds reasonable?

There is nothing in that video that would give the impression that I have talent.
As much as I love GBBO, I don't know if I'll ever have the ... whatever ... to try making puff pastry from scratch. I might resort to the frozen stuff from the store; I have bought phyllo pastry from the store, which worked out pretty well. (Years ago, my aunt told me she'd been in the store looking for phyllo leaves in the herb/spice section ... without any luck.)
Frozen puff pastry is great, as is frozen phyllo. Seriously, who would make phyllo?!?
My hot tip for the best fancy appetizer for some money but not a lot of work: brie baked in puff pastry, with something sweet on top of the cheese, under the pastry. (Could be just jam, could be some nuts and sugar situation, whatever)

Untrue!!!
GBBO contestants would - have - made phyllo from scratch.
I know, and one of them said she had done it once before in the 80s and said never again!
Timelies all!
Another week, another negative COVID-19 test.
I can't see making my own phyllo certainly. Probably even puff pastry—I never have so I'd probably just buy frozen!
Meanwhile, I have a sleeping puppy on my lap. Omg.
JZ reports that having talked it over with various Greek Yia yias, frozen phyllo is just as good as homemade and a thousand times easier.
PUPPY!!!
So I've been priming and painting like crazy but now my right hand/wrist is acting up so I need to take a break. It's been almost a year since we moved here, and painting has given me/us the opportunity to reassess furniture placement beyond the "make a quick decision and then point the mover in that direction" design "plan" we had when we got here. It's fun, actually. Looking at things in a new way, and even though we can't really afford new furniture right now, I've been shopping for decor accessories.
Quarantine livin'.
Been working on the backyard a little, too.
It helps to have a focus and tasks that provide satisfaction, but it isn't the end of the world if they get delayed or derailed.
