A place with different size baklava

Gyros of oz

Greek with blue mosaic tiny tiles on the side. The thin columns - faux - not to support the roof but lend an enclosed snug feeling to the diners.
Gyro burro - Novel idea of gyros in a flour tortilla instead of the pita bread. Surprise is  french fries soaked in a sauce, very tangy.
The lady gave out samples of gyro burro. Since we had already ordered, she figured she didnt have to sell the product to us. She would grab the passers by and ask them if they no Euros .
A man said that he once had them at Chandler mall. She tried the next trick.
'Its all homemade, the gyros, the fries, the hot sauce. Its not from a freezer or  a box.
The man acquiesced and said he worked in the mall and promptly he was promised a discount.
Since it is only 5 days old and 3-4 days shy of grand opening, the owner asked us about the taste. He wanted us to acknowledge that the burro was huge. luckily for us, we had split it into two so it could be shared. A picture is worth 1000 words.

Banana pudding

I went over the roasted banana pudding recipe from yesterday and found it too consuming (shopping time, dishes, baking time), I finally decided on  caramelized banana pudding . And meringue making is merry. Flour is used in making the custard.  all purpose flour plays the corn starch  role of thickening the custard. I used  Parle G  instead of vanilla wafers.

Slices and Stallions

While there are books that are all about just one ingredient like Flavored oils and vinegars there are others that are about a gamut of things. Everything Pizza cookbook has recipes for all the kinds of pizza that there can be with different crusts, sauces, cheeses, toppings. Smoked Salmon Pizza, Polenta Pizza. Cooking for engineers Tasso Ham . When I read that Tasso is also the name of an Italian poet, I wanted to point to his work too. I looked for it but found it in prehistoric language. It so happens that I am reading poems about horses and recognised Tasso's name beneath his poem translated. Second paragraph has life infused in it with equine motions. Another poem that I like in this collection is 'New Foal' by Ted Hughes.
