What a great experience! I'm too chicken to even try. I have to
conquer flat pasta first (no pasta machines for me).

Does frozen thaw correctly for you? Every time I've done that, I end
up with "wet" spots that turn into holes.... no matter how slowly I
thaw it. Fortunately, I can buy phyllo fresh - so I have a nice half
way point between buying frozen and making it myself.
