Thursday Morning

Its Thursday morning after a long stretch of split shift work days. I finally got to spend some much needed time at home to do some laundry and housecleaning. You know, to get rid of the fresh batch of dead flies that have collected on the floor. Not much for breakfast, but what food is in the fridge is good and wholesome; last week, Kürşad's family sent him some fresh food from his farm in the village in Kayseri: fresh sheep's cheese, 3 kilos of cherries (we made short work of them), fresh sausage, kaymak (a kind of cream made from yogurt), a jar of unbelievably spicy peppers his father cured, pastırma (a kind of spiced cured meat that is unique to that region), and, of course, some kind of animal organ. Not sure what he plans on doing with that, though. Village people......

Yes, that is some kind of animal heart next to the yogurt

Wa'allah that's a big simit!!

Off to do some errands now that I have the time!!
