Turkish Party
Fatma and I have been planning to have a Turkish party since our trip. We were going to make Turkish food, play our Turkish music we bought, dance Turkish. and invite a bunch of Turkish people over to look at the slide show. Well we finally had it. Of course, it was only one week after having 25 people over for Thanksgiving and an extremely busy week at work – but the good news was that everyone pitched in and it was a huge success. The food was out of this world – Fatma made her own phyllo and so you can imagine how the treats she cooked melted in your mouth. Senem rolled the dolmas to perfection. Tamer made his pilaf. Zeke brought gazpacho. A belly dancer showed up at 8:30 and she was having so much fun she stayed.
