[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 643248, member: 17461"] [url]http://www.amazon.com/Piece-Collection-Hand-Crafted-Baklava/dp/B00FZ4WWD4[/url] This looks like the exact assortment we got at Sam's [I]but we only paid $10 for it.[/I] If you google Kronos Baklava Assortment, all kinds of things from this company come up [I]including their recipe.[/I] I will have to check that out, now that I am a master baklava grandma myself. :O) Here is something else we discovered this holiday season: Woodford Reserve Bourbon Balls. According to our Kentucky neighbor, Woodford Reserve is a top drawer Kentucky bourbon. She claims it is too expensive to actually drink, if you love bourbon. Which she does. "She" is an 88 year old retired English teacher from Kentucky. She speaks with that same tough authority you might expect from a retired English teacher. As soon as I finish Old Man & the Sea (which she taught for years), she is going to go through it with me and explain all the symbolism. But I digress. The bourbon balls arrive beautifully packaged. The half pound box (which is the size of the box she gave us) is something like $20 plus shipping. This is just enough to have one or two and share one or two and be done.

So, I wasn't sure whether to share this part or not. This is a text from granddaughter when she received the picture of the finished baklava: "Yay! I am so excited. This is what dreams are made of. Having grandmas that are so good at baking they crush other grandmas dreams! Woo! Baklava battle" *** You know? I think that child may have a little Greek in her. [/QUOTE]
