Tranquil StephenieMeyer.com | The Official Website of Stephenie Meyer Stephen King Best-Ever Baklava Baklava – a dessert served in many countries around the world, all with their own personal touch. This is a very rich sweet, and therefore not one you will indulge in frequently. I make this once a year – maybe twice, at most. It’s not a weight-loss dessert, it’s not a totally healthful dessert – it is an uplifting, and very flavoursome dessert, to enjoy and lift the spirits. Having tasted the different takes of this from several countries, I have created my own vegan version, spiced up with cinnamon, lemon and other wonderful ingredients. TIP : DO NOT be tempted to eat this warm – it must be fully chilled to appreciate all the taste and flavours – the main reason being that the syrup needs quite a bit of time to soak itself into the nuts between the baklava layers. Serves 12 medium portions 1 cup of raw pistachio nuts 1 cup roasted pecan nuts ½ cup mixed roasted nuts of your choice a pinch of salt 1 tsp ground cinnamon ¼ tsp clove powder the zest of a lemon (optional) 1½ cups (375 mL) water

Seraphinite: The Angel Stone An Essay by Einstein: The World As I See It "How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he sometimes thinks he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people -- first of all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness is wholly dependent, and then for the many, unknown to us, to whose destinies we are bound by the ties of sympathy. A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving... "I have never looked upon ease and happiness as ends in themselves -- this critical basis I call the ideal of a pigsty. "My passionate sense of social justice and social responsibility has always contrasted oddly with my pronounced lack of need for direct contact with other human beings and human communities.
