Last week and this week I made borek - a pastry filled with whatever you want, I usually do either meat or potato, but some people also use a feta like cheese, and there's also a spinach one. The dough I buy ready made but it smells like it's pretty fresh and it's paper thin. I don't have the time, space, patience or materials to make it myself, it's easier and cheaper to buy from the supermarket behind the meat counter.
Here's the meat one - pretty much just ground meat, onions, parsley and salt and pepper. I think Sinan's mom uses another spice - maybe cumin or thyme?
After baking.
Best with tea of course!
This is breakfast from this morning.
I fried some green peppers and put them into some garlicy, salty yogurt. I also made potato borek (boil some potatoes, cook some finely choppped onions, smash the potatoes around in them and add parsley, salt and red pepper).
I found this on a Turkish food website, and it's good for old stale bread. I chopped up some tomatoes, green pepper, and olives and added some feta cheese and an egg, along with some salt, pepper, and paprika. Then I baked it. The egg didn't bake very well, next time I might not use the whole egg, but the boys were fighting over it!
These are some silly pictures from a class at school yesterday. The students had to write a body part on a post-it note and put it on a person. As you can imagine the result was very funny.
Last night the temperature was perfect so I went on a walk down to Bebek (ok I got some ice cream...and it was from McDonalds - sorry! Sometimes I just need a McFlurry)
