Promise Acre baking

I'm going to have to quit reading your posts. I stepped on the scale and had put on 3 pounds just reading your thread.

here's some more calories for you. soft pretzels....

Do you ever make Baklava? I LOVE baklava!
Hmmm. Maybe I should make baklava.
Now you have me thinking about warm soft pretzels!

@Southern by choice, you mentioned wanting a Kosher kitchen on someone's post. Can't remember now. How does one go abt doing that? I know Catholic priests have and bless holy water, but if I take a bottle of water with me on my hospital visits or home Communion visits, it's just drinking water. (Just an example)
Does it involve a rabbi, or is it just avoiding bringin any item into the kitchen that isn't Kosher? I have wondered this for a while.
Thanks, Dave

I haven't made baklava.... I have heard of it but
(Opening another tab to Google baklava ...

@Pastor Dave in the truest sense there are many criteria... in a simple sense- dairy and meats never touch, separate utensils, dishes, etc
Many do not realize that many food and safety laws actually mimic many of the kosher laws.

For me- I just want a double kitchen basically... meats on one side with everything to cook, handle, prepare... the other side dairy.
Including separate sinks and refrigerators. Island center for fruits and vegetables.

I am a bit fanatical about the handling of meat and dairy... so it appeals greatly to me.
As it is I hate my food touching. Casseroles are very rare for me.

@promiseacres I had a friend that was Yugoslavian and her mother would make her recipe for me... truly I have never had any baklava that was better than hers... ever. I LOVE baklava!

Question for you... do you ever make your own caster sugar? It is so expensive and hard to find I don't use it but it sure would make some recipes far better... I read you can easily "make your own" but I don't have a good food processor. Hoping to get one but still reading reviews... any recommendations there?

Monkey cake for my youngest.

my high school best friend's father was Greek. When his mother came to visit, she made baklava. It was so good! Hadn't thought about that in years.

Your thread has encouraged me!
I won't clog it up though... I'll just share on my journal.
