My Photo Gear
Bagels
March 23rd, 2008 | Category: Baked Goods, Breakfast
I am feeling homesick. It has been 3 years, 5 months and 11 days since I last visited San Francisco. Old tricks run short nowadays. Cruising rentals in the Marina at Craigslist just doesn’t cut it. I am getting bored watching the “Weeping Women” and the sandwich shack on the Marina Green. I am constantly on the look out for other peeping opportunities. A recent discovery is a science fiction TV series called “Journeyman”. It is about a San Francisco reporter who travels through time and changes people’s lives. After almost all of his travels, he wakes up somewhere in the Marina - usually at the Palace of Fine Arts. And I go, “Ohhh, that’s my old neighborhood”, “Ahh, that’s the street corner where I made out with…” Anyways, what I really want to say is, I want my 450 square feet studio back! I missed the flower guy across the street with 5 feet long hair and dirty nails. I missed the mini quakes each time the bus turned the corner. And, most of all, I missed my tiny kitchen..
So what do these all have to do with bagels, you ask… The short answer is, I needed a familiar taste to soothe me.

Homemade Granola Recipe
February 27th, 2008 | Category: Baked Goods, Breakfast
If we don’t count the several cups of coffee, I really don’t have a habit of eating breakfast. And I know it’s bad. Very very bad. While I am doing my best to get into the habit of feeding myself something nutritional every morning, I haven’t had much success in the past. Traditional Turkish breakfast dishes such as feta cheese and tomatoes in olive oil, honey and clotted cream, poached eggs with yoghurt, etc. are the last things I want to see in the morning. I’ve come to realize that I have a better chance with things that can be soaked in milk. So when I read Molly’s post about homemade granola, I wanted to give it a shot.
If she says it is the greatest, there is no need to think twice (she is one of those food bloggers whose recipes I follow religiously).

Clementine and Olive Oil Cake
January 23rd, 2008 | Category: Baked Goods, Cakes
Sweeter than an orange, larger than a tangerine. This seedless, deep orange-coloured beauty is called a clementine.
You can buy them for their looks alone. I had a different motive. You remember my “Monday morning syndrome” cake? I was in desperate need of one this week…
