I went with spanakopita.  Banana later.

 Did you make the spanakopita?!  I love that stuff but find phyllo
dough too fussy to work with.  I haven't had spanakopita in a very
long time and someone I worked with made it.

 Don't be intimidated by phyllo. You just have to learn to work quickly
with it.  It is important to keep it covered with a damp cloth but it
is not the end of the world if a piece tears. It doesn't affect the
cooking or the taste of the pastry.
 I have cooked a number of dishes with phyllo and the results were
always very good. In fact, one time I made a batch of galaktoboriko
<sp?> and took some over to my brother and he said it was the best
think he had every had. No one will care if a layer of the pastry is
torn.  Just have everything ready..... a damp cloth to cover the
sheets, melted butter or olive oil, and work quickly. The results are
so amazing they provide their own reward.
 FWIW  on of the best phyllo entrees I have done was salmon.  You need
need pieces of salmon fillet. Use about 4 sheets of pastry. Apply
melted butter to each layer. Lay the salmon on the pastry and add some
minced onion, a little brown sugar, dill, a splash of orange juice, a
sprinkle off sesame seeds. Fold the pastry over the salmon, brush with
butter and throw on some more seeds. Bake.  It is incredible.
 

I'm sure it's incredible but I can't be bothered.  Same thing with
baklava.  Nice sweet dish made with phyllo, honey and nuts.  Can't be
bothered.

You are a lazy cook.  The number of times over the years when you have
stated that you "can't be bothered"...  I don't think you even like
cooking.  You're here for personal relationships, because you're a
failure at them in real life.

don't like "...
