Here, of course. This Saturday. Waiting impatiently. Beyond excited.* This blog has been kind of dead for a while, mostly because work has been crazy and i have no time to breathe let alone think. But, I hope to come back bearing many stories and even more pictures.

why "ha"?
Enjoy, I will :)
bugger!
Well, as long as you get me a nice couscous recipe, we won't hold it against you.
have fun.
But couscous is a Maghrebi dish!!! Didn't see/eat any last time I was there - I'll bring back photos/ recipes of other stuff? Have I told you about karniyarik?
I know, I know. But the way food travels, I figured there's a good chance of some authentic stuff being found there too.
That dish looks amazing - although I stopped reading the second I saw 'pilaf'. It's not olde english! Why do they mix up the v's and f's? Ugh!
Ah, cos it is pilaf in Turkish!
Let's see if I find couscous but there's so much brilliant Turkish food to eat there.Oh, and the sweets!!!GAH. No surprise I can't even focus on work anymore...
Turks have a food preparation called "cigarette borek"?
Well now I've heard just about everything.

sultanahmet camii!!... i have so many bittersweet memories of this...
err... on second look it looks like the hagia sofia.. the blue background confused....
ayasofya! No six minarets, see?
Why do you have bittersweet memories of the the Sultanahmet Camii??! (I didn't know you'd been to Istanbul...)
km: those boreks are yummy, btw.
are you absolutely sure? it is because i could discern only 4 minarets on 2nd look that i thought it was ayasofia. and besides the main dome looks bulkier and the facade really looked like sofia. the blue mosque is so much more light and gracile...but then it is your picture, you know best.
szerelem says: "I didn't know you'd been to istanbul..."
well szerelem didn't know i like my steak medium rare either.... if szerelem sees what i mean ;-)
and as for the bittersweet memories; it has much to do with a doomed painting; and as with these things usually... a girl (yeah yeah anti-climax, i know). but that (as the epilogue of the cult classic starring our good governator says) is another story...
Sure, I'm sure. And yes, I knew you'd say something like that about not knowing that you were in Istanbul - do you have any sketches of there?
Also, it's not my picture, it's actually by a famour Turkish painter Mustafa Pilevneli
there was one - soft pastel painting, not sketch though
