I think a graphic depiction would be more effective.

How exactly would you illustrate the honey god?  Would he be like the Kool-Aid man?

I was thinking like one of these guys, except maybe with a beard, crown, trident and/or some other god-like accoutrement:



Oh, and of course, he'll need a nice big cock.

Thanks to digitalfour I have a completely new site design!  Just in time, too, because my ads are gonna be running on FTL starting with podcasts this Thursday.  I added a couple sites to the links page already, but if you have any recommendations please let me know.  Thanks!

George, your page looks awesome.  I would like to see some new photos of the baklava though.  I see you put the one up you took recently with your wife's camera.  A couple of them are dark though.  From my foodblogging reading I've seen most suggest putting the dish near a window.  Apparently natural light is the best.  Again, digit did an awesome job and it looks good.   :D

Thanks for the picture taking tips!  I plan on adding more to the site, including pictures, but at least I have a much better looking page set up before the ads hit.  I lack the creativity to create a site, but I have the knowledge to edit the existing one.  Having digitalfour create this was a huge help, and I plan on updating with new pictures and information in the near future.  I got a lot of ideas, but I'm always looking for feedback.  =)

I've been eating a couple pieces of this baklava a day for a couple weeks now and it's SO GOOD. I don't think I want to ever buy any sweets from the store any time soon because they are hardly ever as good as far as the flavor, and never as good when it comes to ingredients. The baklava is so rich that I can't really eat more than a couple pieces a day, but this just makes it last longer. It freezes really well, too, I can't tell the difference between a thawed out batch and a never-frozen batch.

YUMMM.

Okay, now I'm gonna beat Russ up.  He STILL won't agree to eat any.

Planning my next order very soon. Will order after next week's 13-miler, so that it gets here in time to be my postrun fuel after the 17-mile long run the week after.

Yep, that's right. I'm using George's baklava as a carrot during my marathon training. (The stick is that if I don't go on long runs, I'm at home with my 3 kids, 2 dogs, and 1 big pile of laundry.)

Yeah. I was saddened by that. It all looks like a pile of shit right now.  :( I walk down Halsted everyday from UIC to get to the Union Station.
