In Middle Eastern grocery stores here, they sell a ROSE PETAL syrup. I have used this rose petal syrup to flavour ICE COLD MILK…very refresing on a hot summer day! What it is is simply sugar syrup infused with rose petals. There is a wine called Elysium something that also has hint of rose petals.

Hi Mr. and Mrs. MM. Happy to stumble upon your rockin blog. I am a foodie myself but due to health concerns and colonic revelations I am striving to live and thrive on a raw paleolithic diet. I have a long way to go but looking at these wonderful pictures I feel like I am in gastronomic heaven. Thanks for sharing these masterpieces. Yummm…
I must tell you before I go that eating raw saba bananas is good for your health. And virgin coconut oil too. Remember, prevention is the best cure. Tahtah!

Hi MM

Fascinating tavelogue pieces as always….

Peaches in late May in Turkey? Could very well be from Greece (though I am not sure about the produce import / export situation between the two countries!)as they begin to appear throughout European markets, albeit in limited quantities, at that time of year. It is also possible though that they come from either Morocco or Egypt.

Get well soon!
