First World Supply Chain Woes

 NYE is a big deal in this house -

We've been hanging with our friends for 15 years - with each year devising new, inventive ways to celebrate cuisine and friendship.

This year- our theme is Bar Food. Essentially, if you were going to go hang out at a bar with your friends, what would you eat?

Our menu ideas start all over the board. On my end, I start to scour cookbooks from the library and graphics on Pinterest. I come up with 1/3 of the menu and several options to whittle through.

This year, I'm on tap (hehehe) for:

* Whipped Cranberry Feta

* Cranberry Brie Bites in Puff Pastry

* Wasabi Macarons with Smoked Salmon

* Chicken Pot Pie with Puff Pastry

* White Chocolate Cheesecake with a Peppermint/Vodka-Infused Cream

Sounds amazing, yes? Just 1/3 of the dishes.

I'm prepping, planning and purchasing ingredients as we go.

Until I get to Puff Pastry.

HOLY MACARONI, there has been a run on Puff Pastry. A trip to five separate grocery stores and calls to four other friends. 

None. Zip. Zilch. Nada. 

NUNCA!!

Oh for the love.

Fine, supply chain management woes, fine. I see you. And I'll beat you at your own game. I'll make it myself!! I don't need you, overpriced Athena's Puff Pastry. I've got my (other)bestie, Ina Garten, and a food processor.

I'll show you!!

Pictures to follow!
