Nice Weekend

I know it is been too long but i felt lazy to write something. I had fully busy weekend with friends and relatives. On saturday , my friends came to my home and they were so eager to taste the foods i cooked , that was their first time, i had a lot of unsucsesful cooking experiencence ,that is why they all were used to think i cant even cook an egg:))

I went home around 7 pm on friday, had shopping and preaperad cookie very tasty called Ladies Kisses; I have seen it in Cafe Pepela. Also from friday i cooked cake and Yaprak Dolma . on Saturday i prapeerad Hummus, Eggplant Salad, Chicken Burger, Falafel&Tarator Sauce.

Potato Ravioli (HINGAL)

I am feeling right now that i am in the heaven , while i am tasting potato , butter.. yummy!!

I guess i am getting old as i started to talk about past:)

She is Circassian , and this Hingal a Circassian food which is also cooked in Cantral Anatolia area of Turkey.
