Skill You Have to Admire

After we had visited the meat market, F took me to watch this guy she had seen making pies one day last week.  link to video:  Phyllo Pastry Chef

His kitchen has a big shop window (and a big door open) onto the street.  So we stood in the doorway and watched and filmed him. 

Cool aye?

F wonders how many lifetimes (like Groundhog Days) he has had to come back to perfect that pastry swinging trick.

Finished  tyropita - cheese pie - about 4 person pie size.

Tigger, Beau knows the words Wait, let me wipe your feet. we have to if has rained because his paws are as big as your head and can track a lot of mud in. he also knows bring me the ball, we have to wash it.... same reason as the paws, mud made from dog drool and dirt.

    1. There are lots of kinds of cheese pie, and many use very white, mild (they call it 'sweet', as in unsalted) cheese. This recipe looks like the real deal: https://www.mygreekdish.com/recipe/tiropita-greek-feta-cheese-pie/
