Quoting silversong:

I have just finished Reading the kite runner by khaled hosseini
its about 2 boys growing up in afghanistan, I saw the movie first and it was a very good interperpation of the book, a very moving story. Now I am Reading his next novel A Thousand Splendid Suns. Its about the friendship that develops between two women growing up and living in afghanistan, I´m half way through it and think I need another box of tissues. Its just as heart-wrenching as his first novel.



I bought the second one a couple of weeks ago. I plan to read it during my travels this summer. I´ve packed the tissues too

Take some ´Olde English Marmalade´ too.



The last time I was there my friend gave me some of her home made marmalade. It was delicious, but I usually don´t like marmalade.

I thought I might make some scones.

Quoting mylo:

Have you thought about Marmite?



Yes I could take some marmite. I also thought about taking crumpets and pikelets.

I´m going to make a brack loaf and some ginger bread/parkin.

I took some loose Yorkshire tea last time and wanted to take Lancashire tea this time, but it´s in tea bags, so I won´t bother.

Thanks everyone. I´ve made it myself several times, I just wanted to make sure I wasn´t taking something to my Turkish friends, that they already knew very well. It´s also known as lemon cheese although there´s no cheese in it.

Wasn´t sure where to post this. Is Lemon Curd something that Turkish people make? I was thinking of taking some for my friends but I don´t want to take it if it´s something that´s already common there. Thanks in advance.
