Oh boy 😁

I always saw crows and ravens around the airport I flew out of. They'd greet me in the mornings with their cawing.

My favorites were the ones who hung out right by the runway with no fear. Just chilling in the grass as I taxied for takeoff. 😂

Some days I wake up still not believing that I learned how to fly a plane. 🛩️

Overcoming my greatest fear was the most powerful thing I've ever done in my life.

Maybe one day I'll go back and get my license, but for now I'm very satisfied with what I was able to accomplish.

Ostriches are flightless birds. I am no ostrich.

Raven gang! 🐦‍⬛

Do you know the main difference between a raven and a crow?

Mandrik 2y ago

Ravens are larger and definitely look different. We get a lot of ravens in crows around where I live and they are so fun to watch. Especially love when they're out talking to each other. 😄

I can get behind ravens over crows

Mandrik 2y ago

I threw out the crow idea on a whim, but I also prefer ravens. They're so badass!

Waiting at the airport after #Nostrville and my son quips out of nowhere, “The idea of a raven instead of an ostrich for #Nostr would actually be pretty cool.”

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING!

Ravens are way cooler and smarter than the idiot ostrich.

I'm open sourcing my "famous" baklava recipe so you can make it at home! 👩‍🍳

Who knows, maybe yours will also sell for 14 btc one day. 😄

Pastry ingredients:

1lb walnuts

1 cup sugar

2/3 tsp cinnamon

Dash of clove

1 lb butter (melted)

2lbs #4 fillo dough (#4=thin)

Syrup ingredients:

2 cups sugar

2 cups water

1 cup buckwheat honey (key ingredient)

Pinch of clove

Couple dashes cinnamon

Preheat oven to 325F.

Add walnuts, 1 cup sugar, cinnamon and clove to a food processor using the mixing/chopping blade.

30 seconds in a Cuisinart will grind the walnuts to meal-like consistency.

The fine grind is key.

https://nostr.build/av/nostr.build_fbb5bd7d3962aab8632e59322a8b9cecbc5b08878579bc2d9237456223021375.mp4

Using a pastry brush, spread butter along the inside of the pan.

Make a base layer of 10 sheets of fillo, buttering each sheet as you place it.

https://nostr.build/av/nostr.build_8c32399ba17add66b43437e762ca34c5a177f51f2fa5455f89122c5ba0a5e58a.mp4

Press down on excess dough around the edges. Poke the bottom layer with a fork to prevent air bubbles during baking.

Now lightly sprinkle walnut mixture into the pan.

Add 2 sheets of fillo and repeat these steps (2 sheets then walnuts) until only 10 fillo sheets remain.

https://nostr.build/av/nostr.build_4e2481b30f65a759e30a9975acffe69665d45ecbffc9542964f1ad145f8cf93f.mp4

Add remaining walnuts to the pan.

Your last 10 fillo sheets are the same as your first 10 - 1 sheet, butter, 1 sheet, butter, etc until the fillo is gone.

Now you're done assembling the baklava!

https://nostr.build/av/nostr.build_4f5534795d25c461f9c33e8346dc582a7013f864569f1da01203ead380dc35d9.mp4

Final step before baking is scoring. You can cut the baklava however you like. I keep it basic.

Now we bake at 325F for 40 minutes.

https://nostr.build/av/nostr.build_b20df2eda074d68258ae713a29ee583dd7e6c0767bd7f6d8697e893e544888b6.mp4

Syrup time!

Mix sugar, spices, & water in a sauce pan. Heat until sugar is fully dissolved.

Add 1 cup buckwheat honey, stir, & remove from heat.

If there's a "secret ingredient," it's the buckwheat honey. Other honeys will radically change the flavor.

https://nostr.build/av/nostr.build_76ec2e37c90881b550964366005a6b81130fa911d79a1917bbedf5fa4149ae85.mp4

After 40 minutes your baklava will look like this, but we want to brown the top.

Turn oven up to 375F & bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until top layer is golden brown.

Remove from oven and immediately pour syrup over the baklava, spreading it evenly.

Allow baklava to sit for 4-6 hours to cool and soak the syrup.

https://nostr.build/av/nostr.build_ed2dbec7a2e913eef39aa3a2e8ca6a9a200c75e163670d5e240c2d512e9a3cd6.mp4

Mandrik's baklava is best served chilled.

You can freeze baked baklava for months, and it's good in the fridge for many weeks.

I'd love to see results from anyone who makes their own baklava with this recipe.

Enjoy! 😋

Had a BLAST in Nashville for #Nostrville at Bitcoin Park.

Lots of fun hanging out with the plabs, and complaining about ostriches.

Stay strong, fellow ravens and crows. 😂🤙

The ostrich is a stupid bird. Ravens or crows are much better, but of course the greatest animal is the honey badger! 🦡
