Thanks Allen. I'll burn it. I burn everything. But I'm always game to try my hand at Mediterranean confectioneries, particularly those I have a fondness for.
confectioneries ?? does that mean cookies ?? I I sure am better at eating them, then baking them. My wife can blow them all out of the water with her Greek cooking and baking.
