It is hard to work with but it sure does turn out good recipes. I make baklava

and it's so time consuming. Donna

Your dinner sounds so lovely.

I love puff pastry, but i'm too impatient to make anything with it.

I make a cranberry-orange relish, I found the recipe a long time ago

in Vegetarian Gourmet. I also make a veggie puff pastry dish that I

modified from a recipe by Linda McCartney, published in Vegetarian

Times many moons ago. I serve garlicky mashed potatoes (made with

buttermilk & non-fat sour cream instead of butter and milk - cuts the

calories), wild rice (or kasha) with mushrooms, asparagus (new this

year) and zucchini, mushroom gravy and a salad. Desert is the

traditional pumpkin pie and a rubarb crumble (at the request of my

hubby and step-kids, who have the support of my mother and daughter -

even though I really can't stand RHUBARB!! - ugh! But despite my

dislike of rhubarb, I do a good job of a rhubarb crumble - go

figure).
