I was in cooking mode today, and it turned out pretty tasty, if I say so myself. I made slow cooker pea soup using this recipe. Although I used ham instead of smoked sausage. (Smoked sausage in pea soup? HAM.) It also didn't need that much liquid. I'd say 8 cups instead of 10, and even then it's not super thick.
I also made baklava for the first time! I used this recipe. It turned out pretty well, although I don't think I baked it long enough even though it was "golden and crisp" on top. The middle layers weren't cooked much. It's still tasty though. Although if I make it again I'll probably only use half as much syrup. I know traditional baklava does actually have that much in it, but it's a preference thing - I'd be happy with just a tiny amount. Maybe I'll make it thinner as well. As it is, it filled up a 9x13, so it's probably no wonder the middle couldn't get cooked. P.S. Never buying store-bought baklava again.
