Hyder went to Michigan this past weekend. I asked him to bring me back something you could only get there. He did, and it’s these freshly prepared pastries from Shatila.

They are pretty amazing. I love trying new things, so even though he thought it was lame to get me this and a couple of other things from Detroit, I am more than satisfied. Plus, I also learned what real baklava tastes like and that it’s originally Arabic, NOT Greek! ;)

Thanks for sharing a piece of your hometown with me; I hope I can do the same for you considering the love I harbor for mine.
