slow weekend

I was told that this I would be babysitting my little sister and her friend.  I wanted to try a recipe for apple turnovers.  I was looking for a recipe and many different sites used a similar recipe for a flaky turnover, unfortunately it came out horrible, since even my sister and her friend didn't like it.  P.S. they eat mainly anything ;).  Since that didn't come out I decided to make an easy dessert; Rice Krispies.  Again unfortunately it came out horrible, apparently the marshmallows were stale so I covered up the taste with a chocolate drizzle on top.  I don't know what was wrong with me this weekend, I was in a funk I guess.  So after yesterday's disasters I decided to do A LOT more research.  I found a baking cook book that belongs to my older sister (she never uses) and found out that one calls for puff pastry and another recipe calls for phyllo dough.  I didn't know the difference so I looked them up and what I want to use is the puff pastry.  This is the website that I looked at to decide: http://www.tasteofhome.com/Cooking-Tips/Ask-the-Test-Kitchen/Puff-Pastry-Vs--Phyllo-Dough of course I haven't made both to make a decision on but I will.  So after that I found a puff pastry recipe and it is very similar to the croissant recipe that I used before, so I will try using some of both recipes and try making turnovers and croissants again this summer.
