GSE at its best June 8, 2007

The other night I had nicest dinner of the whole trip, I think. There was no 5-star hotel, no cordon bleu chef, no elegant table setting, no haute cuisine. The locale was my host family’s apartment balcony above a city street; the menu was ordinary Turkish food: tomato soup, dolma (stuffed grape leaves), grilled chicken, tomato/cucumber salad, rice, and of course yoghurt. It was simply good food shared with good friends. If the conversation was somewhat limited by vocabulary issues, there was no lack of understanding, nor of mutual good feelings.

Sounds just like the food you used to eat daily when you were living in Turkey 12-ish years ago. Probably made you want to live there again!
Dick and all,
What a trip! We are excited to hear your stories and see your pictures! Too bad you can’t bring some of that food home!
See you soon.

Hi Mary Beth and Indiana friends,
I could probably give the tomato – cucumber salad recipe to Rustic Lodge. It’s pretty basic, and so-o-o good!
See you a week from Monday, most likely.
