Les baklavas

Il y avait un "farmer's market" hier, il y en a un chaque premier samedi du mois. J'ai acheté des baklavas, rien que pour moi et petit loup. Ma femme n'aime guère les baklavas et puis elle sort aujourd'hui avec ses amies pour célébrer sa fête. Ca nous fera un dessert pour mon fils et moi lors de notre journée entre hommes. Wolfie en avait mangé avant, il y a un an ou deux, mais avait oublié. Il se méfiait un peu de l'allure que ça avait, puis en a mangé un et a changé d'avis.

Baklavas

 I mentioned a few days ago that I went briefly to a food festival and bought a box of olives, to share with Wolfie and me. I also purchased baklavas from the same stand. I haven't eaten baklavas in two years. And I don't have to share them with anyone in this household, because I am the only one who enjoys their taste, apparently. I don't know why I love them so much. Maybe because I thought they were Greek (according to Wikipedia, they are not, and these ones were purchased in a Turkish stand anyway), maybe because I justlove the mix of nut and honey.

Baklava Selection

I mentioned last Friday that there was a food festival in town. We went there the next day for lunch (more on that in another post), then bought a few items of food. One stand was selling Mediterranean stuff, including baklavas. I have a sweet tooth and I love baklavas since I am seven or something. So I bought a selection. Baklavas is like crack made of honey and nuts.It is so very delicious. Unfortunately, my wife does not like it, so only Wolfie and I will have to eat the content of that box. I just gave him a few small bites, I don't want him to eat too much sugary food, but he loves it so much that he now knows the name!

Baklavas

I blogged about a week ago about the food festival that was in our local town. There were lots of stands selling lots of delicious stuff, including one selling baklavas. I have a soft spot for baklavas since I'm a little boy. I wanted to try everything Greek, being into mythology, I ate one of those (I think it was in Montreal), got hooked on it since. I rarely think of buying any, but I got really enthusiastic at the festival and had a box full of them, which I finished in about five days. Baklavas are one of these things I love about Greek culture, after its mythology (and I know it might not even be Greek, but I associate it with Greece). It's full of sugar and it has some nuts to make it healthy. Honest. Moral of the story: I have a sweet tooth.

Des baklavas à l'ouvrage

C'est ce que j'ai eu la semaine dernière en matinée: des baklavas. Ils étaient là dans la cuisine au travail. Or il se trouve que: 1)j'ai une dent sucrée, 2)je suis friand de la gastronomie grecque et 3)je suis très friand des baklavas. Alors j'ai essayé d'en laisser aux autres, mais autant le dire honnêtement: je me suis sérieusement bâfré. Morale de l'histoire: il m'arrive d'être goinfre. Mais c'est pas ma faute: le baklava, c'est comme de l'héro feuilletée avec du miel.
