Do you have food that is made better just because of the memories attached to them? These Arabic sweets are just that for me. My good friend Laith has brought them back from Jordan for the past 4 years. He's been one of my best friends since the awkward years at the beginning of college to the more fabulous dressed senior year. Freshman year we would get together, snack on them, and watch Grey's Anatomy. Now we get together, snack on them, drink red wine, and watch project runway. Some things wonderfully stay the same.
My description of the sweets is that they are all pistachio (some have just pine nuts) variations of Baklava which is layers of filo pastry, nuts, and honey. Kelley's favorite was what we called "the bird's nest." Mine is the filo pastry with a ton of pistachios in the middle because face it, the best part is the sweet nuts.
