When you burn the puff pastry, miss a step in the recipe and burn your finger, all within about 2 minutes of each other.

Sigh.

Sometime I think Martha Stewart is sadistic and purposefully lays out her recipes so you miss one vital part.

I would write more but it is hard to type with a blistered index finger.

This is post is dedicated to anyone who has screwed up a recipe, burned a body part or burned puff pastry, that evil delicately-layered bakery item. To all the REAL cooks out there: You’re not alone and don’t give up. For those who claim they never mess up, you’re lying.

With love,
