Safsouf Sweets
A couple of days ago, I received a few more treats from Lebanon. This time there wasn't any baklawa, but instead, a bunch of confections from a company called Safsouf Sweets. Sorry, I don't know what the names of any of these are, but I enjoyed every single one over the last couple of days.

Al Baba Al Mumtaza Sweets
Here are a few goodies direct from Lebanon courtesy of a friend's visiting family.
I don't know what any of these are since the writing on the box is in Arabic, however, by visiting their website, I can guess what a couple of them are.
The one on the bottom left is the pine-nut ish-al-bolbol and the one on the bottom right is the pistachios bourma. The ones in the back are probably different types of baklawa. They were quite tasty and I enjoyed them with a cup of tea last night after dinner.
Here is link to their website.
Pistachio Baklawa
When I got home from work, a surprise was waiting for me. Not a big surprise, but a nice nutty one.
A friend brought over some baklawa that came to Hawaii via Lebanon. This baklawa was made with pistachios instead of walnuts, and I heard this was more authentic than what we usually eat here in the states. Can anyone tell me if this is true or not? In any case, I savored every bite. Now I'm wishing that there was more.
By the way, Augustus Gloop, of Grab Your Fork, asked for a baklava recipe a while back when I had made mention of it to her by way of a comment on her blog. Augustus, I apologize for the delay, but the recipe and post will be up this Sunday, April 10.
**NOTE**
I initially stated that this baklava came from Greece, the post has been corrected to reflect it's true origin and name. It's actually baklawa from Lebanon.
Canon EOS 5D
Most of the newer photos on this site are being taken by this camera. I'm still learning how to use it, but I think the photos it takes are amazing. Though the lens I use often varies, many of the photos on this site are taken with a Canon EF 35mm f2.0 lens.
Sony Cyber-shot® DSC-U40
A majority of the photos on this site were shot using this little camera. It was compact and discreet -- excellent for taking photos under most conditions. Sadly, it has recently died.
