Better Luck with Baklava?

So I'm not sure why I was unable to make a successful chocolate pie, but was successful in making Baklava. The level of difficulty in making the chocolate pie shouldn't of been too much, but with two failures I guess it was. So when it was time for me to construct the Baklava, I was expecting the worse, Baklawrong. To my surprise, the Baklava turned out not only presentable, but edible as well. I'm thinking it was shear luck that led me to a pretty decent greek dish. Perhaps I had better luck because I had a partner. The chocolate pie was made solo, but Adrian assisted in the Baklava making festivities. Since I am unable to make edible foods alone, I have decided that I probably shouldn't cook alone.
