Know food threads are frowned on but Age Hath Its Privilege. Please keep the name for the recipe if you copy and use it. Credit where credit due, after all. < YaYa Gouvalaris Spanikopitos < LARGE Bowl. 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan Pastry brush Pre-heat oven to 350 Use DIAMENTO filo pastry (frozen) Diamento is available in northeast USA - the best! Do not try with frozen filo as it crumbles and makes a mess. DEFROST filo in fridge for a good two hours (I usually defrost it overnight.) 1 lb feta cheese - crumbled 1/4 lb butter (one stick) 6 eggs Big bunch dry Fresh spinach. MIX up in the bowl the crumbled cheese, eggs and spinach. Layer filo in bottom of pan, brush liberally with butter. Put layer of mix , another layer if filo, brush with butter etc - repeating until almost to top of pan ending with a layer of filo brushed with butter. Pie will puff up in cooking. Bake one hour at 350 degrees. Allow to cool in pan one hour before cutting. Makes dinner for six or can be cut into small pieces as party food. CALORIES : Zillions but worth every one. Delicious. Nowadays fresh available all year, thank goodness! Enjoy! And do let me know yor opinion if you try it.

But why did you post it in this particular forum (Q&A about words)? Did I miss something? Or is it just the privileged effusions of your well-earned red hat*? Also, if you don't recommend frozen filo, then why do you suggest we defrost it? Thank you for helping out this red-hat initiate. ~~~~ *n.b.Computer people, red-hat in this context has *nothing to do with Linux. _________ Edit: Oops, now I see: Ya-ya sisterhood in this forum's grandparents thread.
