Where can i find phyllo dough in the Philippines?
I love baklava but I haven't made it myself. Here's a recipe from recipezaar.com. Try asking SM (when you're at their supermarket, frozen food section) if they have the phyllo pastry. It must be with all the other pastry doughs, frozen pizza dough, pie crusts, etc. Recipe for Greek Baklava: 1 lb phyllo pastry, thawed if frozen 1 cup butter, melted at room temp 3/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 cups chopped walnuts 1/2 cup water 1/4 cup lemon juice 1/4 cup honey Preheat oven to 325. Layer half of the sheets of phyllo one sheet at a time, in a greased 11x7x2 baking pan, brushing each sheet evenly with butter and folding ends over if necessary to fit into pan. Keep unused sheets covered with plastic wrap while assembling baklava to prevent drying. Mix 1/4 cup of the sugar and cinnamon; stir in walnuts. Sprinkle nut mixture evenly over buttered phyllo in pan. Layer remaining phyllo, one sheet at a time, over nut mixture, brushing each sheet evenly with butter. Cut diagonally into squares, cutting completely through all layers. Bake in preheated oven until crisp and golden, about one hour. Combine remaining sugar, the water, lemon juice and honey in small saucepan; cook and stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. Heat to boiling; pour evenly over hot baklava. Let stand loosely covered 8 hours or overnight.
How does Azerbaijani sound for non-Azerbaijani speakers?
Personally, I like it. Now…When I heard Azerbaijani for the first time, I found it funny like most of Turks. I know Azerbaijanis get offended at this and they are right about it. But please don’t get angry with us because what we learn as incorrect pronunciation for years are very common in Azerbaijani and it takes a while to get used to these. q and x are regarded as vulgar and ə, /æ/, grates on our ears. I had a teacher who pronounced emre like əmrə, /æmræ/, which we always found funny and laughed at her.I used to find Azerbaijani funny as well but things changed 5 years ago when I came across an Azerbaijani programme named Ləziz Dad on Xəzər Tv. It was fun to watch people dissing each other and sometimes giving their own dishes 0 point with a nasty comment. I introduced this programme to one of my best friends who did not like Azerbaijani pronunciation back then. In fact, she hated. However, as time passed, we got used to these differences and now we do not find it funny anymore. She has became a hardcore fan of Okaber (an Azerbaijani rapper). I like listening to Azerbaijani rap especially works of Okaber and Xpert (I still do not why but interestingly majority of rappers in Azerbaijan are Pan-Turkist). As for classical music, Rəşid Behbudov is one of my favourite singers of all time. I believe this attitude towards Azerbaijani will change once we hear Azerbaijani more often. However, neither entertaining sector nor media is not so strong in Azerbaijan that we do not hear it much today unfortunately.
