Cheese Twists and Airplanes

San Francisco Fleet Week occurred a couple of weeks ago and we ventured up to the city to catch a glimpse of the Blue Angels and other amazing performances.  A glimpse of the Blue Angels is all we received, because right before they were set to perform, massive thick fog came rolling in over the Golden Gate Bridge and we had a feeling that the show was going to be cancelled.  Although disappointment washed over us as we heard the announcer confirm our suspicion, we still enjoyed a nice time on the small beach at Crissy Fields, looking up at the blue and clear sky for different aircrafts, and enjoying store-bought and homemade picnic items.  These puffy pastry cheese twists did the trick!

A few tips...
...do not spread too much of the oil mixture on the puff pastry as it will spill out as you twist.  Make sure to roughly cover all of the pastry, but, don't overdo it!
...I used Mexican cheese (all I had in the fridge) instead of Parmesan... still delicious!
...the baking time in the recipe was too short for my oven (the twists were not golden brown) so I left it in the oven at 3-minute increments.  Make sure to watch it so that it doesn't burn.
