Just a freedom maximalist riding the NOSTR wave!

“Socrates believed that the good of his “soul” was far more important than the transient pleasures of his life. Accordingly, he preferred to die for his ideas than live as a hypocrite. An idea worth living for may be an idea worth dying for as well.”

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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! 😋

Looks great! 😋

Yay me, thanks for the Sats, Susie, very kind! 😊🤙

Isn’t Parker Lewis still a bit negative on NOSTR?! He gets a pass though, he’s one of the best Bitcoiners out there. I know nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy and nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx were trying to show him the light! I could be wrong, but I think he thought the focus should remain on Bitcoin, not NOSTR, and he wasn’t convinced of the symbiosis between the two…

#Bitcoin is Everywhere, and Nowhere.

The magic of #Bitcoin 🧡

So good! Although not as good as Heat! 🤓

Fun fact, the main Tom Cruise character’s surname is Collateral (based on the book), but it doesn’t crop up anywhere in the final edit of the movie.

Great, thanks so much for responding!

Quick question:

Is it that you cannot Zap a post on Damus any more, because Apple insisted that it be stopped??

But that people can still Zap on other clients, and so that’s what shows up on Damus where it shows posts as having been Zapped??

Is that right??

I’m confused? 🤔 It’s been a while since I’ve been on Damus (my bad…), but I thought Apple stopped people from Zapping individual posts (but general tipping via user profile was still ok)??

But looking at some posts it seems individual posts do still have Zaps??

But I can’t see how to do a Zap for a post now?!

Any help / guidance will be appreciated!

(Ps I was a v early adopter, I used to sling Zaps round like a fiend back in the day!)
