My family was very kind and sympathetic and it would be unkind if I did not take the time to thank them for their interesting gifts.
Laura picked up some Pistachios fro the Island of Aegina for me. Aegina is the home of the best Pistachios in the world… and since I make the best Baklava in the world ( according to them), then I must have the best Pistachios!!! I can hardly wait to make more!
Kristin surprised me with a number of unexpected gifts. I could never guess that she would buy me such interesting things. ‘Things’ that sent me to the internet to discover their history and left me fascinated! She found for me a signet ring used by an obviously high and mighty official in the Ottoman empire to sign his documents… very nice. I look more impressive now. Karen and Kristin bought me some great cook books… I especially want to try the Mousaka!
It’s nice to be remembered… thank you ladies.
