Sweet
I'm a relatively new convert to the sweet sticky treat that is baklava, but it is so yummy! If you've never tasted it, get ye along to your nearest Turkish eatery or deli and nab some now. It's great with a cup of coffee for a mid-afternoon break.

Having being with a Bulgarian for 10 years, I have learnt to make it myself!! And the home made version looks a bit darker than the one you buy in the shops, because of the oven I guess -and it has the syrup to go with. Anyway, I'll post a picture on my blog for you so you'll see my 'masterpiece'.
OH YES! LOVE the stuff. Had some proppa Greek stuff a few years ago. And some really awesome baklava served in a little cafe in Israel with some black Turkish coffee. Superb. LOVE IT!
Although, now that the government is clamping down on us fatties, I regret that my baklava munching days are going to come to a sad end rather soon.
Milla: Ah, home-made baklava... Red suggested that I should try making my own, but I think it would be difficult, no? Maybe we can get a sneak peek at a recipe? Looking forward to seeing your masterpiece.
Tanya: It's delish, ain't it? What do you mean, the government is clamping down on fatties?
Ohhhhhh yummy! I was introduced to that delight last year! *drooling*
Snowcrush: Sorry, girl, I can't comment on your Beta blog right now... But yeah, baklava is great, isn't it.
Red: You know it!
i love baklava! and that looks delish!
Looks delish. It is time consuming to make, but not difficult. I used to make it all the time.
Oh you're making me crazy a cup of coffee and a baklava...erp I want!
That looks amazing! Reminds me of some stuff I ate when I was in Macedonia.
mmmm. I love baklava. Always have.
wtf u been all ur life starman? that stuff is everywere not hard 2 make justa lotta layers
I have to admit I have a soft spot for the stuff myself....
Hi *asterisk
Just to let you know I'll be starting my blog again on Sunday 17th Dec.
Razzamatazz
Looks good, reminds me of our lumpia (vegetables, chicken, beef, etc. rolled in some sort of wrapper) here in the phil. i think you'd like our native delicacies, too--sweet rice cakes and stuff.
anyhowz, i changed my blogger address! it's now http://erika-gabrielle.blogspot.com/
thanks! i hope you're doing well!
HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!
Rationally I know it's wrong to be predjudiced against a poor dessert...but where's the chocolate!! ;)
I am a dessert bigot. (Hanging my head in shame)
Speaking of sweets...well, sort of...
had a dream that you and I went to see a My Chemical Romance concert. When I asked you where Red was you shrugged your shoulders. The next time I turned to say something to you, you had transformed into Red. Very odd.
Mmmm, baklava...when I first started making coffee for a living, we used to serve baklava with the espresso - oh my god, heaven in a cup and a crunch.
(that was a long time ago before starfucks was even a glint in anyone's eye)
Martha: It's lovely, isn't it?! I bought some more on the weekend...
Candy: I don't cook or bake much, so I'm sure it'd be difficult for me. Easier just to buy it, especially when it's only 95p for four pieces.
Sheamus: Maybe it was the same sort of thing?
Olives: So I'm preaching to the converted with you, then?
DP: I don't know, man... I guess I've led a sheltered existence! When I say "recent", though, I mean within the last four or five years: not just yesterday or anything!
Mr A: Good for you!
Razz: Thanks for letting me know.
Erika: Hi there. thanks for your new blog URL. I'm sure there's lot of delicious things in the Philippines that I'd be only too happy to eat after dinner!
Lee: I never thought you'd be bigoted against a dessert. Outrageous! No chocolate, just love.
Camie: That's a bizarre dream. While we'd gladly go with you to an MCR gig, Red and I are two different people. Honest. It's not just me under an assumed name or anything...
Baker: That sounds great. It just goes so well with black coffee. And I'd imagine it goes well with espresso, too, since it's short and strong, just like Turkish coffee. I'll try it later today. (I'm a Starbucks-hater, too!)
Today I am off to the Balkans to have some real baklava!
Happy holidays to you and Red, and all the best wishes for the new year. I'll raise a glass of rakia to you guys :)
Milla: Have a great time. And eat some baklava for me, too!
Hi *. To answer your question, I have blogged about it. :)
Mmmmmm...baklava.
It may be 10,000 calories per bite, but it's so yummy.
If you had a piece of baklava with a glass of eggnog, you would probably kill over with a heart attack, but it's so yummy.
Tanya: I'll be over to check it out.
G-Hobbs: Ah yes, that sounds like just the job!
Melanie: I think you're about right on the calorie count, scarily enough. I'm not sure I've had eggnog. If so, it must have been about a million years ago, cos I don't remember it well. Sounds like a lethal combination!
She took my feelings and she tore them like an eggnog!
Red: That's what I thought, too!
