You have my sympathy, but I do not understand your mother. Is not the long winded bit of making pastry the incorporation of the fat and flour, ie. the bit you need to do for crumble anyway? The adding a little water and rolling out is easy. Also, it you use a hand whisk for that it is loads easier, power tools for cooking FTW.My mum was making the pastry for tonights pie (I'd already made the pie, all she had to do was make some shortcrust and stick it in the oven) but she was feeling lazy and decided crumble would be easier!
Disaster, much too dry

Bunch of kids were on my beach blasting music both loud and wretched. 
I moved to the other end of the house and blasted Amadeus. 
'Twas wonderful. 
But alas, as we neared the end of the story, I needed to switch to Disk 2. There is no Disk 2.

Sounds like you need to learn to make such things. I support more time off for moms.My mum was making the pastry for tonights pie (I'd already made the pie, all she had to do was make some shortcrust and stick it in the oven) but she was feeling lazy and decided crumble would be easier!

I was out but had premade the meal for her and left her instructions on what to do.
Shortcrust is the pastry anyone can make.
edit: And I'm a Mom too!

It was a saffron potato, spinach, mushroom & cheese pie.
Tonight ITV News was talking about the Queen celebrating her 96th Official Birthday which she wasn't. She was celebrating her Official 96th Birthday.
So she had 96 official birthdays and an unspecified number of fake birthdays?
Whatever. She's led an amazing life. And she's probably thinking to herself that the Canadian Prime Minister must be an idiot for not being able to figure out who to appoint as our new Governor-General (he recently consulted with her about appointing a new GG, as our old one had to resign in disgrace).

That sounds great
I have some table, which I'd need right now, somewhere, but I can't find it 
.
I just have too many options, but I think I've checked all. The actual project folder on the 2nd HDD, the documents folder on the main HDD, the 3rd HDD, the external HDD, the documents and download folders in there, the project folder copy there, the laptop, the linux partition on the laptop, my work machine, the 2nd HDD on the work machine, server #1, server #2, shared HPC drive.... it's not there.
It'll not be on my 8 external HDDs with the various backups, and I can easily re-create this table, but it annoys me like hell.

When I worked, I kept things of an immediate need on my desktop; ongoing project folders had a home on my local HDD and "everything" also went on an external back up drive maintained by IT. Good names for folders and subfolders made finding stuff pretty easy. Your system seems to be overkill. Sorry for your loss.I have some table, which I'd need right now, somewhere, but I can't find it

It's mostly not about the additional work (which is minor), but more about that I'm not used to not finding things.
And the next problem is that I'm working either on a) my machine at home b) the work laptop c) the machine at work d) the server at work e) there is still some stuff on another old server f) most of this is backed up. Normally b, e and f are not locations where I'd put anything I'm currently working on, but a, c and d are. These have multiple hard drives though, so it's not always easy to keep track.
For 99% of the rest I'm still sure I know where it is, despite having like 20 TB of HDDs in front of me ^^.

Actually, it sounds delicious (depending on the cheese).
But not as a crumble!
So improvise.
I rarely understand my mother either
Brace yourself…
