Baklava
Wednesday, September 27, 2006

Earlier on, I was at the Turkish greengrocer to pick up some fruit and vegetables. I also bought 6 pieces of baklava from their delicatessen section. I love these sweetmeats. They are no more than 1.5" square in size and there's a reason why it's so. They are incredibly, stun-your-tooth-enamel sweet. Only for the bona fide sugar addict. However, it's not all sugar, there's also a hint of butter, nuts and spices. It's usually eaten with strong tea to off-set the sweetness. I just had a piece with a cup of freshly brewed China gunpowder tea.
I'm still buzzing from all that sugar.Labels: 100% sugar
