Quoting Elisabeth: Quoting lovebug: Just got back last week and find it harder to leave each time.
I love walking in Istanbul, and ridding the ferry. I love walking by the ocean in Tuzla and eating my future mother- in- law's food (stuffed peppers, grape leaves, etc.)
I love to watch the people and hear the sounds of Turkey!!!
I just love Turkey!!! |
Welcome back Lovebug...I know what you mean about being sad when you leave. It will be better when your sweetheart is here in the States....you won't be so sad when you leave....I promise. |
Merhaba Elizabeth!! Thanks for the welcome back. You are right, it will be so nice when my Yilmaz is here with me!!
Thanks for the kind words!!
iyi gunler,
Wendy

Please tell me her stuffed peppers were better than here in the states. I haven't been able to acquire the taste for them. What do they stuff theirs with in Turkey?

Oh yes, they were mouth-watering. Actually, a little like my mother makes. She stuffed them with a rice mixture, but oh so good!!!

That sounds much better with rice..my mother uses ground beef and I can't stand the taste. It's like eating a meatloaf in a pepper...  I'm glad to hear you had a good time. Just think distance makes the heart grown fonder, but I understand how difficult it must be for you. When we want to time to go by fast, it goes slower than hell...

Mix the rice (I use bulgur though) with a little ground beef (not too much or it will get that meatloaf feeling you were talking about), some chopped onion, salça and spices and it's delicious. To make it extra extra delicious use lemon juice in the sauce.
Afiyet olsun!
I absolutely love stuffed bell peppers and it's fun to make, too

Me too But it will have to wait we don't have many of the ingredients in my native country I miss turkish food so much I'd kill for a simple lentil soup 
Hope the peppers work out for you, it's a great dish and easy as it doesn't really need any side dishes. All in one

For the taste to be right you need to use home made yoghurt but I don't know how to make that I tried it with store bought yoghurt and was pretty flat in the taste. Homemade ayran varies a lot in taste and some add spices (I think mint is common but I don't remember..) others leave it as it is.
