have you or has anyone read 'the diamond cutter' by geshe michael roach? it's the same kind of thing stretched to 225 or so pages and details how an american (princeton grad w/honors) went to nepal/tibet (i forget) and then came back to the US and went to work in the diamond industry (at the urging of his lama). it talks about how he used buddhist beliefs to manage people and enhance the bottom line of the firm. cerebral folk, those buddhists.
What a beautiful lattice crust!
Do you cut out the diamonds for the lattice? I can't see the joints that I should see if you interlaced strips of dough (my sainted grandmother's method).
Is it a trade secret, or can you tell?
