Dear Readers,
It’s been a long time. You must be wondering if I have forsaken you. No, I have not. I have not forgotten you either.
The times, they’ve been a changing. There were some health issues, some family issues. These have straightened themselves out for the most part. Then came major life changes.
Most recently, as I am sure you know, chaos came to Turkey. Yes, the protests of the people. My views of that coming soon.
Through it all, I have continued to answer emails from my readers. I thank you for your questions and your comments — even though I have been lax about posting comments as well.
So, to get back to blogging, which I warn will not be as often as before, I leave you with a repost of the below recipe. It’s zucchini time again and this is a groovy way to enjoy the fresh veggie! Feta and dill are added, among other yummy things. I love them.
Kabak Mucveri – Fried Zucchini Fritters
I recently made the same recipe, cut out one egg, and baked it for a little more healthy version. My friend over at Far From the Sticks uses a similar recipe and bakes it like a casserole to save time. Here is a link to the recipe she uses: http://www.ilkeskitchen.com/2012/04/zucchini-bake-firin-mucver/. I will spend some time perusing that blog too when I get time. “Ilke’s Kitchen – A Turkish girl cooking it up in the American South!” Gotta love that name!
Enjoy!

Welcome back to the blogosphere 😉
T..
Thanks Tony. It’s going to be a little slower than I used to be. But I will manage!
I am so glad you are back to writing. We are looking forward to reading your posts.
Have a nice summer.

Thank you Sibel! Slow but sure. Miss you!
. . many happy returns 🙂
Thanks Alan!
Welcome back . I love the new background.
Thanks! I hadn’t noticed WordPress had added options. Perhaps I should look for fireworks today!
Happy to hear all is well! 🙂
Thank you! Happy 4th!
Hi Terry! I had literally just about given up hope of seeing you back here with us so I was delighted just a few mins ago, to see this new post!! Welcome back! Don’t go away! I look forward to hearing yr views on all the protests etc. Phew.
Thank you Claudia! I will write about the protests, but I need to hold off just a little longer. Best to you!
(Ahem, “Curiosities.”) Welcome back, Terry. Lookin’ good! Yeah….await your take on the protests & RTE.
Pete – I assumed you gave up reading the blog since I had no sports posts! Good to hear from you. Happy 4th!
Thanks for checking in, and I’m glad you’re back! We’re Stateside right now, and have been glued to the news watching what’s unfolding in Turkey. I’ve thought of you living in the district where you live and wondering how you were being affected. I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it. Regardless, I’m glad you’re back to blogging!
Thanks Joni! The protests have calmed substantially, but they still go on. They are very close by, but we stay safe and careful. Although I would honestly rather be on the front lines!
