Day 60: Friends came to visit yesterday (something of a rarity in my world), bringing with them a hearty lunch and baklava. Baklava! Is there anything tastier? Paper-thin phyllo leaves slathered with butter, a filling of chopped pecans and spices, the whole confection drenched in honey, baklava is sticky, rich, crisp, chewy, and sinfully delicious. With another member of the family at home, they did not leave me with the whole tray, but knowing how much I love this exquisite dessert pastry, they gave me a full selection which will be carefully rationed over several days. Thank you, Suzie and Ceilidh!
