Yesterday was Matt's birthday. It's a milestone, which he's not too happy about. We're having an official 'to-do' later this month, but of course the three of us had to celebrate.
There were cool gifts, and Matt had exactly what he wanted for dinner: steak & potatoes. But for dessert? He decided he didn't want a cake.
No, he asked for baklava. So that's what I gave him. It was perfect, with a 3:1 ratio of pistachios to walnuts. He loved it.
He loved it so much, in fact, that he's asked I make this instead of a cake for the big party!
Happy birthday, honey.
