Dopey Challenge Training - Week 17 Hello Dear Friend

 

Thankfully this was a low mileage week because I had a very busy week planned. I did only one training run outside because the rains came in full force this week. It’s also starting to get dark after my midweek runs and I’m not a fan of running around downtown when the sun goes down.  

My very good friend from Texas flew in this week for a visit. Thankfully she can sleep through my noisy early morning treadmill runs. It’s so nice to see her, but because she lives so far away we don’t get so see each other as often as we want too. 




This was the beginning of my craft fair season and I was so happy to have a friend along to help and keep me company and laugh the whole weekend long. The funniest part was I waited until her plane landed to inform her she’d be manning a craft booth with me all weekend. She’s all good with that, since she helps her father run a booth during most of the summer time down in Texas. 




 

 

This week’s recipe is from the Unofficial Disney Parks cookbook: Baklava. Oh, boy was this interesting. I quickly learned that you have to wait until the filo dough is completely thawed before you begin unrolling it. Luckily my handy hair dryer helped, however the sheets became dried out and tore apart when I unrolled them. 






Can’t win for trying. Baxter and Blitz were hoping for something to fall on the floor. Their my little puppy Roomba vacuums. Despite all my best efforts to ruin this dish, it came out beautiful and delicious. A little too sweet for my taste, but so flavorful. 


Here's Disney's cut up all very fancy like. 


















And this is mine. I thought they came out pretty great!
