I've already reached the April archives..almost there. You'll obviously have fun in Turkey & I look forward to reading all about it. Still getting to know the best places to shop (provedores) in Melbourne & understanding the nuances of Aussie language & colloquialism, being more at home with formal American & British English. In the meantime, I came across this site which might help a lot of our compatriots abroad: http://www.globalpinoy.com/recipes/recipe_article.php?articleid=1 Hi MM & Family–I have a lot of catch up reading to do.

MM, please experiment with a Filipino version containing adobo as the filling and instead of sesame seeds sprinkled on top, I'd like to see fried minced garlic, adobo flakes, or a combination!!!! I think the reason that a lot of Turkish restaurant food require a bit more preparation is that these are dishes originating during the Ottoman Empire, which had a great culinary tradition. When I was in Istanbul, I was taken to the Asitane Restaurant which specializes in Imperial Ottoman cuisine. It had completely escaped my mind to mention this establishment to you when you were soliciting suggestions about your trip to Turkey. BTW, here is their website: http://www.asitanerestaurant.com/English/index.php We were the only non-Turkish speaking table that night, so it's not as touristy as Konyalı, although the view at Konyalı on a clear & sunny day is definitely impressive. Afiyet olsun! MMMMMM, Turkish Meat Pie (MINA in Turkish).
