Espresso Strikes Again

Lo and Behold, I have been into the espresso again. But alas! who can blame me, when I shell out such pretty and delicious desserts as this?

Behold, the number 1 reason why Filo (Fillo, Phyllo - read: Painful Stuff) dough is worth working with:







And, it only took 3 shots of espresso this time. (As opposed to six.)
For those Baklava conisseurs out there, please notice the form of the baklava - it has been wrapped, not layered.

Total Result:
4.5 hours of work, and over 130 pieces of Pistachio Baklava - 2/3 is going to work tomorrow. They may not miss me when I'm gone, but they will miss my baking.

Notes for the Future:
Never again will I chop >1 lb of pistachios by hand. Ow.
