Brunch

For most of my time I've been at Wall Street, I had two week days off, back to back, for example, a Wednesday and Thursday. I enjoyed it because it gave me time to go out and do things (relax one day, do something cultural another day), and maybe even quickly travel somewhere. The problem was was trying to socialize, having to work both Saturday and Sunday. But lately I've had a weekend day off and a week day off, usually Tuesday and Sunday, and I've found it pretty enjoyable. If someone invites me to do something on Saturday night, I'm not too ancy to get home. It also gives me more time to see Sinan, and it's become a routine for us to make brunch in the morning and have it with his roommates. Today I made a meat mixture (onions, tomatoes, and meat) and put it into squares of phyllo dough and baked it and the guys all really enjoy it (ok, Sinan prefers the old way I used to make it where I fried it, but I disagree with him), eggs with all sorts of stuff in it, fried sausages, white cheese, tomatoes, fried potatoes, chocolate spread, and also this awesome tomatoe-y spread that I can't describe. And of course, tea. It's fun just to sit around and soak up the friendliness and cheerfulness of the guys, although I get to a point where I can't handle 4 or 5 guys chattering in Turkish. Anyway, here's a picture of brunch:
