Right before Christmas, I took pastry out of the freezer. It was phyllo pastry, thinking I would make an hors d'oeuvre. Only it turned out that that I needed was not phyllo but puff pastry, so the phyllo has sad, unfrozen, in the refrigerator since Christmas and I kept thinking I would make baklava since I had nearly all the ingredients I needed, missing only a lemon. But I kept putting it off and putting it off.
Finally yesterday I decided to do it. To my surprise (and relief) the phyllo was still usable, though not in the familiar "sheets" that it normally comes in. I had to kind of piece it together like a puzzle, but it worked. I was pleased at how well the thing turned out after baked.
Baklava is very sweet and I don't know that it is going to be finished and I have no desire to ever make it again, but it was tasty.
