My Last Sapanca Dinner -Summer 2007

The guy who never complain..Without him... Sapanca wont be so much fun...coz he is the one we always *bully* to do all the odd jobs heheh sağol mıstık! Allaha Razı Olsun

Sucuk, onions,green pepper

Plain meat

Köfte

Can u guess what this is? It is good for ur blood production u know... BBQ ed? love it loads!


onion rings (my fav!)

Fried potato wedges n normal julienne shaped fries

Turşu (cucumber n red pepper pickles)

Fresh onion salad

a simple green salad

grated carots fried with olive oil, mixed with yogurt

Fried eggplant slices with some sort of a tomato sauce topped with fried green pepper on top

This is what Kerim called Summer rice.. sort of rice cooked with tomato juice...

ala..mcm nasik tomato kita la jugak...

cauliflower topped with bechamel sauce, sprinkled with white cheese and topsed with kaşar peynir (another type of cheese)

The drinks.. quite a variety eh?

Oh yeah..my last Sapanca dinner... Yum yum! we went there last wekend for 2 days n one nite only... I was really sad inside that saturday coz when we went for jungle trekking that one last time, the terrible heat that is affecting the whole turkey was affecting sapanca as well... my beloved berries though still loads of them red...were drying up due to the heat...i was really sad for the animals (even cows love to eat the berries.. honest! i had seen cows eating them last year) wouldnt be able to enjoy the berries... We left on sunday... and I suppose, perhaps it was due to the barakah of the nifsu Syaaban..the holy month perhaps.. Allah had sent rain for two days all over Turkey! Meaning... my berries r saved! Alhamdulillah...I am sure all the plants n animals were rejoicing the rain! I know i did!

Again... i havent been able to blog hop...so so sori... summer is definitely a difficult time to blog hop...

l will also be in hiatus...will be right back here again on the first of Ramadhan (12th).... dont forget me ok?

Ah...the freezing sea water... the pebbles...the fresh fish... my squid...perhaps octopus? *wink*

The kids n i cant wait to go there... And just the perfect place too to celebrate our wedding anniversary.. I wonder whether he will give me a stone or a leaf this year... hmmm..

Some people think that going to holidays with kids r so tiring... if given a choice they would rather leave the kids at home...

But for me... a holiday without my kids wont be a holiday at all!They r the reason why a holiday is such a holiday... when they r happy... everything is worth it...and i will be lost without them by my side...

My dearest tem... Thank u for such interesting, mind wretching.. heart breaking..never boring 8 years... for the best gift of all from this union is these two angels...May Allah bless our life together till death do us part..Amin..

And to all the Muslims all over the world...

Happy Ramadhan Month!

or

water,fruits and vegetables puree and concentrate (tomatoes,carrot,chilli,beetroot,cucumber, salary root, black grape,lemon, cabbage, onion, green salad), salt, vinegar,spice mix,natural frangrant, oil and basil abstract

Oh yeah.. Kerim (my bro in law) was the one responsible for discoring these juices from a mini market in Sapanca called *küçük ev*....

This market is really special coz if u wanna find newly produced products (the ones u cant even find in most supermarkets in istanbul ).. u can find them in küçük ev...

He made halil n i tried all the 3 flavours... i practically almost couldnt stomach 2 of the reddish flavours! it was really terrible! (unless u like to drink turşu suyu..pickled veggie water!)... but the green one... the second ingredients out of the three (the middle one)..it tasted kinda nice...it is still sour tasting but a nice one...(with ice of course! :0)

So what about you? looking at the ingredients.. do u think u will be able to stomach any of the juices?

U decide

:0)

As in friday nite.. i will be off again to the usual gateaway place...will be staying there insyaAllah for a week...

See ya when i get back here! muahhhhhhh miss ya already :0)

The truth is..istanbul is getting too hot for all of us (it was 38 celcius yesterday)...hatice is getting headache from the heat... n i do have to say.. splashing inside the pool n doing the jungle trekking (i am sure the wild black cherries r ripe by now..at least some)... sapanca is the obvious choice...

Please pray for our safe journey...take care!

(good luck to me.. i havent packed, ironed the clothes, cook etc even! help!)

And for the dear one who will be undergoing an operation this Monday.. our prayers will always be with u...

On the other hand, i have just recieved a call from Meşe.. the Sapanca's house fridge is broken!!! THAT will determine whether we will al be going to sapanca AT ALL coz without a fridge, there is no use going there... Mıstık has called a fixer to fix the fridge but if the guy cannot fix the fridge... we may have just cancel the sapanca trip for some other day...frankly speaking.. that fridge is just counting its time to *die* anyway.. i think we need a new fridge in Sapanca..

Thank You for hopping by...Hope to see u again the next time..
