puff pastry is fantastic. You can make just about anything with it and it has amazing taste and texture.
I agree, but I won't make it. Pepperidge Farm does a fine job of that for me.

I tried to make meat pies once. It was a culinary disaster. I'm sure to some homeade meat pies are not frustration intensive. I would like to come eat some of those peoples meat pies. For now I will rely on Achmed's heat lamp down at the Citgo.

Do you make your own Puff Pastry?
Posted on 6/4/13 at 11:37 am to Blind Boy Grunt
I do.
Here's a secret, If you're using it for a desert, add a few drops of vanilla when making it. Using it for a crawfish pie, etc? add a few drops of tobasco.

yea, it's a shame I suck at everything else though.

But you have earned a "Badge Of Honor" in this Department. Truly.

Making egg drop soup that is thick enough and where the egg doesn't get overcooked makes me want to break something.

Turtle sauce piquant.
Cleaning turtle: min 1 hour
Cooking sauce piquant: 3 hours
Reward is worth it though.
Training a baby turtle to ride backwards on a giraffe trike: priceless

crabs yes, artichokes no. Clip the tops of the outer leaves, boil in lemon infused water til the stem is knife tender, stuff. Wither find a true baker to make puff pastry, or learn to appreciate the therapeutic nature of playing with bready doughs.

What about Homemade Pasta? I quit doing it - and just buy dried. Very little difference in Structure, or Taste, to me.
Homemade pasta is a lot of work, but dried definitely isn't the alternative. I have to buy fresh pasta. It's so much better than dried.

Risotto, but obviously lots of people disagree.

I don't think there is a good answer. To me, the preparation, drinking and fun of making a dish adds to the experience.
Having a glass of Cab while creating a red sauce, chugging a beer while sweating in 92 degree weather over a 500 degree grill or a bourbon on the rocks while I make the best salmon you have ever tasted.
Now some things can offer more "reward" than others but all good foods are rewarding...

I'm with you. All that stirring, and for what? Runny, starchy rice that's only good if lots of butter and/or cheese is folded in at the end? Meh. Even when I'm not the one stirring, the dish leaves me cold.

The only people that say crawfish are crappy peelers. FWIW, I love having boils with people like you
yep!
was watching some nashvillians at dagurun's crawdad boil here fuss and fuss over a single crawfish...then finally getting the 'meat'..gingerly dipping it in some kind of sauce...and i think i probably went through 2-3lbs in the same time period.

back on topic..yep crabs..if you have shitty ones will drive you nuts. i was in s carolina and my damn butter got hard while i was fussing with getting those stupid fibers out into a little pile that looked like something you'd start a fire with.
king crab legs otoh..
poorly cooked crawdads can be frustrating as well if the meat doesnt release easily.

after you procure all the bones and make a stock for 12 hours and do all the other prep work .. it's not worth it. plus it's probably not going to come out as good as at viet restaurants and it's a quick, cheap meal in the first place.
That's disappointing to hear. I'm going to be making some on Friday to feed a small crew. I was only going to cook the stock for a few hours, though.
