Danish Pastry guinea pigs needed

<< < (51/54) > >>

Le Chuck:
Pastry was heated in accordance with instructions and then cut into small pie shaped wedges to be served.  It was sampled by 4 sober women, 6 hyper-active children, and 3 drunk men-children.  The kids mostly picked at theirs (we put one slice on a plate and let me see how they would do) they didn't seem to care for the richer flavors but we expected as much.  All four womens liked the consistency and flakiness of the pastry.  The cheese filling was sweet and savory and was well executed.  We aren't big cherry eaters in the family but this was nice, just not something we would have ordered ourselves.  Being that we don't eat cherry anything I can't really evaluate that filling, Bri thought it had a cranberry edge but I didn't get that.  

The women tasters all said that this was an excellent product and that they would buy by the slice at a coffee shop or restaurant but that they probably would not order an entire ring as they can get cheaper desserts that feed more people from the local stores.  They really enjoyed the gooeyness of the filling and the bite of the pastry and didn't have any negative comments aside from basic price aversion - but you run into that a lot in the south.  

The men (myself at the time) were too entrenched in beer to be bothered with pastry.  The following morning I rewarmed one piece then ate the remaining pieces for breakfast/lunch.  The pastry really is great and reminded me of what we would run in to when we lived in Germany.  The balance of sweet and savory coupled with the layered flakiness of the pastry is a very subtle rich flavor.  It is in no way overpowering and leaves one satisfied yet craving another piece.  I would order rings for my parents and siblings for the holidays but as I work in a generally all male environment I probably would not show up with this to a meeting.  The cherry was a surprize but the filling was a high quality and wasn't the syrupy medicine tasting mess I've come to associate with the flavor.  

Thanks for having me as part of your trial and let me know if you need any thing.   :cheers:    



Dervacumen:
It's evident I need blocking in the corners for this interim step.
Can someone help me figure out what the length of the sides of the orange triangle in the attached picture would be?
Thanks everyone,
Derv

HaRuMaN:
The sides of that triangle are

2.93", 2.93", and the hypotenuse is 4.14"

knave:
Mmmm...the most delicious Pythagorean use I've seen yet...

a squared plus b squared = yummy pastry.

Crowd sourcing at it's finest!  Now I can get some blocks for the next shipment.  Thanks!

<of topic> So quickly, in math terms how did you figure so fast?  I tutor math, trig, etc. and I know the steps to get to the answer but your method must be better than mine or I wouldn't have asked for help.  Pastry and math.  That's a pretty close approximation of my current existence.  Kudos knave for recognizing that...
Did you drop a right angle on the triangle first?
