This week..(2nd week of school Holiday)

This is the typical turkish yogurt... thick...and most importantly...the brand is Sütaş..the kids' fav brand for dairy products..

these r...
Kadın Budu Köfte..
it took me years to make perfect this kadın budu köfte (ANNE's *my late mom in law* style..the only style Halil loves of Kadın Budu..his mom's style...

it is basically rice cooked with minced meat, added with onion, salt, pepper and a bit of diced parsley..shaped like in the pic above... put in the fridge to rest...coated with egg and later flour...to be fried in hot oil...


resepi in full kena tunggu bukak sekolah dulu..


BUT.....


Genetic vs Habit

Grrrr... he destroyed the beauty of my Kadın Budu köfte by eating like this!!!

and he made the kids eat it the same way too even though i repeatedly told him that the kids
eat their yogurt from another cup...!! Türks will always be Türks, eh? *giggles*..

Poor my kadın budu köfte... they faced their extinction in the least attactive form :0)

But that doesnt matter coz on Wednesday... my Hatice celebrated her 7th Birthday...

May u grow up to be a good person, inside and out...
Someone with good manners... Despite anne *screaming* at u the whole time... u know i love u..and i have only one çiçegim..

2 siblings*the light of my heart*

the cousins and the birthday cake..

ilayda,hatice, zeynep

Though his birthday will only be in April..he wanted to blow the candle too :0)

Awww... she didnt cry!! I bet she did loads at home..

*wink wink meşe!* (sorry..i dont think it is appropriate to tell why...)

And let it be written in my personal family history that today..

7th of February

for the first time in my life..i had served turkish tea for halil, hatice and baddin...

my kids drinking tea?? oh my...genetically n culturally..they do follow the türks..

i am the only one who still dislike drinking hot tea (unless it is iced)

I guess the pics rap everything up of what i had been up to these days...school days will always be hectic i suppose..

and i hope that it is not too late to wish all those celebrating it...

HAPPY CHİNESE NEW YEAR!

i guess Malaysians r on holiday this week..Enjoy ur holiday!
