Dinner on the balcony
Stuffed eggplant - the guys were really excited about it but unfortunately they couldn't eat it because I didn't cook it long enough! Umut was like wow were did you learn this, you should write a book blah blah then they only ate the meat part. I don't know if you have made stuffed eggplant but it's hard to scrape out the inside, especially at the ends. I'll have to work on it.
I wasn't sure what to do with the eggplant that I scraped out, so Sinan suggested I cook it with some oil, onions and garlic. Then we added some tomato sauce I made using tomatoes, olive oil, and garlic. Yum! Good with bread.
I had leftover meat from stuffing the eggplants so I fried some potatoes then put it on those. Awesome.
Breakfast on the balcony
I wandered around Kadikoy, a part of Istanbul on the Asian side, with a former student/friend and we got waffles. It's kind of a "thing" in Istanbul - they cook the waffles right when you order them, then you have a choice from a lot of different toppings. I'm so boring and I always just get milk chocolate with sprinkles of some sort. The sellers think I'm crazy.
