Sephardic Feast

 Yesterday we all joined together at Auntie Maddy's house for our regular Sephardic Feast. We had a wonderful time (as usual) visiting, sharing stories, laughing, and feasting upon the tastes of our heritage. 

I made the Yaprakis (stuffed grape leaves). I started the day before, soaking the beans. Then I let them cook in the crock pot over night. In the morning I rolled the filling into the leaves and let them cook for an hour. This was my first time and I must say, they were very good.
