Last week we received a package in the mail from a distant cousin of Thomas’ (thank you so much, Maroun!) that was the absolute sweetest thing ever. Yes, that was a bad dad joke, but you get the point. He sent us a huge tray of baklava that we’ve all been eating for the last week and we can’t seem to get enough. The kids, us, and even the dogs when the flakes and crumbs from the filo dough hit the floor after every bite.
Have you ever had baklava? Thomas’ mom makes the best ever, but this baklava, from Masri Sweets in Dearborn, MI was heavenly. There were 3 or 4 different kinds in each row, and there was so much we weren’t sure if we were going to be able to finish it all. But we found a way ;). We ended up giving some to his mom to try out and she gave it her stamp of approval, so you know it was good.
We’re usually a cookie family, but ever since this huge package of yummy flaky goodness came in the mail, we can’t get enough of baklava. Thanks again, Maroun! You made our entire WEEK!
