Greek Day at Val Vista Lakes Elementary

Katie just recently celebrated Greek Day in school. Her teacher assigned her (which means me) to bring Baklava. Before the assignment I had only heard of it. I had no idea what is was made out of it or how it looked. Thanks to an internet recipe and help from our pastry chef friend Jenica I made it. Katie said most of the people liked it but some kids spit it out. That's always nice to hear when you spend money on making a gourmet dessert for third graders. Oh well, it was fun for them to try and Katie had fun.

Here is Katie in the traditional Greek garb.
