Gyrre:
So the desert milifuelle is basically a multi-decker sandwich (cake? bar?) made with turnover dough wafers and custard?
Hmmm..... I might have to try to make this.
EDIT: Adding possible substitution words that may fit better than 'sandwich'. I'm no professional patisserie.
Cornelius:
Basically. It's not hard to make - if you buy the puff pastry. Even if you don't, not hard to make, just takes time.
Hardest thing is to eat it, without spilling out the custard. :laugh:

Yeah, sometimes... and sometimes, I'm even able to channel that into doing something productive! :)

Similar - this whole multitasking thing that manager types espouse I find totally alien and from my observations of others generate less efficiency and a higher incidence of errors.
It is something loved and embraced by those who have the attention span of caffeinated sugared up toddler on acid.
This may be why I had a love of the sciences early on and in my working life I fell into QC and latter on ended up a CQE on the engineering side of my industry.
Limited human interaction and predictable and controllable environment. Yeah I despise troubleshooting when going in blind.
As to feeling like an entity sitting in the drivers seat of a "ME" chassis while experiencing interpersonal interactions as "a stranger in a strange land" [I seem to have them fooled so far but seem to be getting suspicious], it is something that bubbles forth into my consciousness only when not having to put energy into said interactions or having external tasks to concentrate on.
This may be why I have a love of computer RPGs and RPGs in general [was the only way I was able to actually socialize] since they are similar to Real Life(tm) but without the negative repercussions and I can pretend at being someone else doing more interesting things that are not possible in Real Life(tm).

It's layers of puff pastry containing thick custard (crème patissière). Often, you find some sugar frosting on the top, but I prefer just some icing sugar, personaly. I like this one, with hazelnuts, even if it is expensive: https://www.pierreherme.com/2000-feuilles.html
