tis the season...

jonathan's violin teacher has pretty bad arthritis, but she told us she has had some real improvement and even some reversal using honey and cinnamon. so i am making her baklava for Christmas...

i have never made it before...added some cloves to the nuts and cinnamon to make it more Christmasy and am simmering the honey syrup right now...hope it turns out gift worthy!

do you have as hard a time coming up with gifts for people in your life as i do? i find if we try and think about the person rather than the gift it's easier to find something that fits them quite well!

THE RESULTS!
