November 17: National Baklava Day!

 

Ah, baklava. Not to be confused with balaclava.

Tangent: Last year for Bryce’s birthday we went to a laser tag place with a bunch of people. I had given everyone the heads up that it’s best to wear dark colors so you don’t glow in the black light. Most people wore dark jeans, or yoga pants, etc. One of Bryce’s friends, however, wore a balaclava. And like, tactical gloves (are tactical gloves a thing? Did I just make them up?). Whatever. It was terrifying.

 

 

BAKLAVA, however, is not terrifying. It is delicious. Well, sometimes. I’ve had baklava in the past and it’s been overly sweet and sticky. I’ve never had BAD baklava, but I had never had a truly delicious baklava until November 17. It was the perfect combination of sweet, salty, flaky… yum.
