Ball of Pastry in the Refrigerator
Just because Milady brought it to my attention:
It is satisfying to have a ball of pastry in the refrigerator, ready for hurry-up desserts, cocktail snacks, and meat or chicken pies.
Pies are usually served as dessert, but in New England, warm apple pie is sometimes presented at breakfast as a special Sunday-morning treat.
