I love big markets like that, and I do love spicy stuff. So interesting on the politics of exploration. I know I'd heard that, but you don't think about it much--that the trade of rich men drove the exploring.Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-207479524287004185.post-26249339539390685132010-12-02T13:51:16.398-05:002010-12-02T13:51:16.398-05:00It sounds like an amazing place!It sounds like an amazing place!Golden Eaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721520451194318436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-207479524287004185.post-43230614870374378892010-12-02T12:06:45.251-05:002010-12-02T12:06:45.251-05:00It's on my list of "must visit places&quo...It's on my list of "must visit places"...hmm wonderful.Ayakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16903896106779269050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-207479524287004185.post-64426053187881535502010-12-02T11:48:05.052-05:002010-12-02T11:48:05.052-05:00How does one pronounce Misir Carsi?!!?

Then use good french butter, or use what is billed as "Irish butter" in US stores. Guaranteed success!<br /><br />Or for a lighter version, I have friend who uses brushed peanut oil... It's good too, and definitely lighter, but... Shrug.<br />If you want to diet you shouldn't be making baklava, right? : j<br /><br />In some parts of the world they use peanuts... Because both walnuts and pistachios are too expensive... The result is interesting. Not my fav, but quite tasty.Avohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808959359850145003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-207479524287004185.post-83407149038819907342010-12-02T10:39:04.583-05:002010-12-02T10:39:04.583-05:00Haha!

(Tomorrow's post is about the Ataturk Flower.)<br /><br />@Alesa - I only make the walnut kind, because unsalted & shelled pistachios are hard to come by here in the states. I've never made the roll either, just the regular "baklava" shaped ones. I suppose you just roll the layers? I'll see if I can find a method someplace.Carolyn Abiadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10567399129586443513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-207479524287004185.post-67586241833860780262010-12-02T10:10:19.819-05:002010-12-02T10:10:19.819-05:00wow!

Super common in middle-eastern cooking. Yummifies meat or fish dishes splendidly... It's good in several places where one would use salt. <br />It has a slightly tart/astringent taste that brings out flavor. <br />You may have come across it without knowing it, it's often used to finish a plate of hummus.<br />Cheers. : jAvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808959359850145003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-207479524287004185.post-29817685760431909272010-12-02T09:13:14.060-05:002010-12-02T09:13:14.060-05:00I love my spices!

I've made some myself quite a few times- well, tasty bastardized spin-offs at any rate.<br />I was wondering if you have any insights about this delicious calorie bomb?Avohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808959359850145003noreply@blogger.com
