Hello everyone! I’m sorry for a bit of a radio silence, but I was so exhausted after a month of renovating that I needed a few days to recuperate once I got back home. It was quite a stressful month and the renovation took a week longer than I planned, but I am done at last – the keys are with the estate agent and I hope that the place sells quickly.
I feel a mixture of excitement at the prospect of no longer having to worry about finding tenants or dealing with repairs, but also sadness as that’s the end of an era for me. This flat was my very first property and I still remember the excitement I felt when I got the keys. I slept on an air mattress in the middle of an empty apartment yet felt joy at not having to share my space with anyone anymore. With Thanksgiving just round the corner, swiftly followed by Christmas, I made a tray of golden pumpkin phyllo triangles that would be a welcome addition to any family gathering – should we get a break from Covid and are able to celebrate in a larger group at all. These crispy pastry triangles are inspired by the Greek spanakopitakia I made a while back. They are easy to make, they marry some of this season’s best flavours and make a fun appetizer. I hope you’ll enjoy both making and eating them.
