Im so embarrassed I have not writing anything here for a while. :(  Shame on me.

I promise to try to do much more but to tell you the truth it has been a crazy few months.  First I lost my job given a 2 month time to turn over thing to others. then I got another job at Fox where I work now and have to build a brand new team from scratch.  Went on a great vacation a week after starting(I’ll upload some pictures later) and just been meeting people.

One quick story on how small the world is then I want to write about a great recipe we and my cousin Lusi made today.
Last Thursday I was going to San Francisco for a day because I have a small team up there that I work with.  While at the security line at the Burbank airport I noticed that Dion(former Spot Runner colleague) was in line as well.  After the check we spoke for about 10 minutes and I had to run to my plain.  On the way back from Oakland we were delayed for few hours and who do I see in Line trying to get info on the flight its Benson(another colleague from Spot Runner).  We sat on the flight together and chatted about the great times at SR.  What a small world…

Couple of nights back exchanging some URLs with my cousin from my friends blog(Nanciful) we landed on another blog by Pam Aghababian called Cave Cibum on specifically a recipe for an old Armenian(some say Turkish) recipe called Sou Boreg.  We decided to make the layered pasta dish today from scratch.  LOTS and LOTS of work but great fun.  Its very simple but lots of work.

Here are the pics.

And this is the ingredients and recipe
Filling
1lb Feta
1/2lb Mozzarella

Dough
5 Eggs
2oz cup water
Pinch of salt
2 1/2 cups of flour

2 sticks of butter melted

Mix the dough ingredients and let the dough rest for 30 minutes

chop the cheese coarsely(1/8 inch cubes or smaller)

Separate the dough into 8 equal size balls.  Roll the dough into a paper thin sheets.  In boiling water cook each sheet for 1 minute and put it in cold water to stop the cooking.  Place it in a pan, brush good amount of butter on each sheet.  After doing this with four sheets, spread the cheese evenly.  Top it with 4 more sheets of dough and butter each including the top.

Once done put it in a preheated oven(350 degrees) for 45 minutes.

Simple huh?  It took us 2.5 hours but it was GREAT fun.

Thanks Pam for the inspiration…  I love your blog and have to find more things to try out
