And now you know what the trick is if you ever make a braid again! :-)<BR/>Ann at <A HREF="http://www.redactedrecipes.com/" REL="nofollow">Redacted Recipes</A>Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13490106815489566258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792930510812282507.post-66394065669649054262008-07-02T09:32:00.000-04:002008-07-02T09:32:00.000-04:00Sure it can be frustating to have this little accidents happening, specially if we put so much into them. But hey forget about the look! I would love a piece of that braid, I'm a sucker for pistachio and it must have tasted amazing. next time just tell your guests it's a Shreck thing and that it's suppose to be like that! ;)Clumbsy Cookiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17400021601744310549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792930510812282507.post-14906767574606600222008-07-02T00:53:00.000-04:002008-07-02T00:53:00.000-04:00Baby, the pistachio one has MOXIE!

Please re-attempt this one, in your words "it tasted good" now go and whip in in to shape. And if this one doesn't turn out send it my way (especially if you do the chocolate and pistachio again!!) That flavor combo would make up for any sin in appearance!!!<BR/><BR/>http://sleepingbearinthekitchen.wordpress.comSleeping Bearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02164563286580535387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792930510812282507.post-54217819285630116222008-07-01T22:13:00.000-04:002008-07-01T22:13:00.000-04:00It is an... eclectic look. But I actually *like* the look of the chocolate and pistachio cream. And I bet it tasted fantastic.<BR/><BR/>I also struggled with the braiding instructions... ended up just folding over the flaps like I was lacing a shoe. Didn't look anything like a braid to me until after it had risen overnight.Doloreshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06162620206370481186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792930510812282507.post-74204512485437212902008-07-01T21:23:00.000-04:002008-07-01T21:23:00.000-04:00oh, sorry to hear about your braid not working out well! i agree that sherry can sometimes have better written recipes. but even though it didn't keep it's shape, it still looks really yummy!mimihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08476299055882766954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792930510812282507.post-6151904817591756892008-07-01T15:55:00.000-04:002008-07-01T15:55:00.000-04:00Well it may have looked funny but if it tasted good then that is what counts!breadchickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04376772267923924607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792930510812282507.post-27764906518928474672008-07-01T15:49:00.000-04:002008-07-01T15:49:00.000-04:00Kudos to you for posting the picture of your misadventure.

But I would want to try you braid so bad, I like pistachio fillings = )))))Millihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13698030729659152571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792930510812282507.post-91629045317105025182008-07-01T02:00:00.000-04:002008-07-01T02:00:00.000-04:00So sad!

Quel dommage ! Avant cuisson, la tresse est superbe ! Moi, sans un diaporama que j'ai trouvé sur "flick", j'aurais aussi tout raté car les explications n'étaient pas évidentes...FoodieFroggyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14640166159406027225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792930510812282507.post-27254655682834595362008-06-30T03:16:00.000-04:002008-06-30T03:16:00.000-04:00Some challenges do get the better of us, sometimes. But that braid looks very colourful:)<BR/>I really liked the idea of chocolate and pistachio creme.If you mark your rectangle into three equals, put the filling in the centre and cut the strips on the outer thirds, it should work. And keeping the cut strips a bit long helps them from opening up in the oven.<BR/>Good luck next time.Aparnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02989967318453941084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792930510812282507.post-78203772219622425512008-06-30T01:00:00.000-04:002008-06-30T01:00:00.000-04:00I would never turn down a pastry!
