Filo pastry - How to make it?
Hi there Sages. I am wondering whether anyone has ever made filo pastry rather than bought it. Is it easy to make? How is it done? Is it worth the effort (as I suspect its a bit like flakey)? Any advice would be gratefully received please.

Funeral flowers
Has anyone made a floral tribute for a funeral ? I have been quoted £40.00 for an arrangement made on a circle of oasis foam , looks very nice but too expensive for me just now. I am no expert but it looks like the flowers were placed in the ring, bit of greenery and a card, quite simple and elegant, easy to do ?????

Not very cajun at all!…
