No, I don't.

She absolutely doesn't. My comments were entirely to do with my foibles. What a nice word that is!

I also made it clear in the top post that ready made is fine.

My comment was more "stating a fact" than "asking a question."

Rephrase: Since Hemulin is not holding ready made puff pastry against entries, that is what I am going to use.

Chicken Pocket Pie. Only 2 Weight Watchers points each, so I don’t feel bad if I have two or three or five. I made them in a cupcake tin.

My top tip for judging is to make a few notes to yourself on each recipe as it appears and put an asterisk next to the ones that particularly grab you. Its much easier than trying to 'digest' 30 or so recipe at one sitting. But, after all - there are no set judging criteria. Its up to the judge to invent their own! And they don't even need to tell us what they are...

I have judged 3 times and each was more daunting than the previous one. I do make notes as the recipes are submitted. I like TastyReuben's method of judging by two's and eliminating as recipes are submitted. Judging is not an easy thing. I feel a great deal of responsibility to honor all of the participants.

I will tomorrow. I spent longer than I planned making it, but the effort was well-worth it. Now, I need to open a beer from a variety pack from Atwater Brewery. I'm not overjoyed with the one I picked:

The best thing about this beer is the very artistic can. But, the beer is waaay too hop-heavy. I like hops, but this is an assault on my tongue. Yes, it's possible to enjoy hops in a beer without it seeming like I'm washing down grass clippings from my lawn (and the joke's on you: I decided not to mow my lawn last weekend. I'm embracing my lazy side for a change. So, I'd rather relax and drink now, and post the recipe later. Thanks for asking.

Not an entry - something I made before but never wrote up as a recipe. Dolcelatte, Prosciutto and Apple pastries:

Puff pastry cut in shapes and part baked. Add the cheese, prosciutto and a thin slice of apple to each piece. Sprinkle with thyme and chilli flakes and bake until done.

Post as an entry please. Beautiful.

I did find something I'd eat the hell out of - meatball-and-cheese wrapped in a little bit of puff pastry, with red sauce on the side for dipping.

I've done this with a regular biscuit type dough. The marinara sauce completes them. They always disappeared in my house.

Puff Pastry Pizza. Just like regular pizza, but with a flaky crust.

Gai Krapow (Thai Basil) Sausage Rolls. Served with a fried egg. So much for my reluctance to make recipes in this challenge for health reasons!

Good Morning Morning. I concur. I hold placebo in similar esteem. What are your feeling for ramekins ?

An adorable word. We are off topic...
