bertineOn the phone at the grocery store:
Me: Mom, how many ounces in a pound?
Mom: Are you buying gold? If you are it is 12 to a troy pound.
Me: I am buying nuts.
Mom: Oh, then it is 16.
Leaving my parents after I grabbed a cinnamon stick:
Dad: What is baklava?
Me: It is nuts with spices in a pastry dough covered in syrup.
Dad: Could you make me some without the nuts?
I have never made baklava before. I think I put too much butter between the layers because I didn't have a pastry brush. Plus the nuts are pretty big. Oh well, it looks like it will be good regardless.
