Hello Anita,

Venture may be an adventure for you there in George - y'all really got hit hard with this last storm front.  Be careful!

Hello Wayne,

I think this is going to be a fun game to watch - and if it turns into a one sided match, there are always the commercials to enjoy!

Hello Roger,

Anyone that is a cheese lover (like me) will find this one hard to resist.  I am sorry this series is causing so many pound concerns for all of us though!

Good morning Lisa,

As I have to make a tray of Baklava today and will have extra dough I will give this one a try.

Make yourself a great day.

Hello Ray,

I knew from your prior posts that Baklava was in your wheelhouse...I'll be watching for a batch to arrive at my house - you do have me on your send list, right?

Good morning, Lisa.... sounds like a good recipe.... my family would like it....that's not for my plate though...goes right to the hips!!!  Baklava is Greek...Armenians spell it with a P...Pahklava....probably more than you needed or wanted to know.... but this is a good option for those who don't like playing with fragile filo dough.... I guess Conrad remembered Pahklava...

Hello Barbara,

I never knew about the "p" spelling - thank you for sharing, fun fact.  Although I love philo dough, I always seem to tear it...so this one I might be able to make without frustration!

Conrad remembers all...
