Poor Man’s Lentil
April 09th, 2006 | Category: Memoir/Meme/Misc., Turkish Cuisine, Vegetarian
Back in the spring of ‘99, after endless days of house hunting, Özlem and I managed to find a 3 bedroom flat in the foggiest and most depressing district of San Francisco, Richmond - on 22nd and Balboa - just a day prior to getting kicked out by our tenant, who looked like the Chinese twin of Joan Collins. Sick and tired of getting rejected because of our nonexistent credit history, we really did not mind that the house looked exactly like the ones we have looked at over the past 15 exhausting days.
Everyday was a deja vous. Same carpet, same layout, same kitchen cabinets, same tasteless linoleum flooring, etc. Up to this very day, we still suspect that every apartment owner starting from Masonic all the way to Ocean Beach hired the same grotty contractor, who decided to redo all these houses exactly the same way just so he can get an extra discount for his bulk orders.

Introducing Fernando
April 02nd, 2006 | Category: Memoir/Meme/Misc.
Fernando is a 2 year old grumpy English Bulldog, who happens to come from a very famous and rich family. A friend of mine found him crying in his cradle on Bond Street, London apparently on the day he was abandoned by his shopaholic mother (Eye witnesses mentioned a woman rushing from one designer store to another after dumping him on the sidewalk. The Tiffany teething ring rattle neatly tucked under his tiny Burberry’s blanket was another clue. But, I digress).
We have been inseparable since the day we met. He is one of my inspirations in life as well as my most ruthless critic when it comes to tasting my recipes.
