Castroville Artichoke
June 08th, 2006 | Category: Memoir/Meme/Misc., Restaurants, Vegetarian
It was right after my graduation… Baking Fairy and I were residing at the foggy 22nd and Balboa in San Francisco. I was desperately looking for work, she was still studying… We needed a change, so we decided to take a trip to LA. To make the trip more enjoyable, we decided to take Highway 1. I guess it added a couple of exhausting hours to the trip, but it was one of the best 8 hours ever.

Long weekend
May 22nd, 2006 | Category: Vegetarian
Thanks to the national holiday on Friday, we had a long weekend in Ä°stanbul. The weather was spectacular. On Friday, it was Mahir & Vera treating a small group of friends to an extra delicious barbeque with Vera’s tasty appetizers on the side. The red onion she baked in a clay pot was by far the tastiest red onions I have eaten in my life (bottom right).
Sweet & Sour Red Onions (Vera’s Recipe): Skin 3 medium size red onions leaving the head so that the layers stay intact. Cut the onions into 8 equal parts, mix with vinegar, mustard, honey and olive oil (2 tablespoons each), transfer to a clay pot and pop it in the oven for 40 minutes at 400 F/220 C.

Artichoke with peas
April 28th, 2006 | Category: Turkish Cuisine, Vegetarian
Artichoke in olive oil is a traditional Turkish appetizer. It has many variations when it comes to the topping, such as potatoes & carrots, broad beans & dill or as in my case: Peas.
This is one of those vegetable dishes, which I hated eating growing up as a child and started treasuring it in my 20s.
Artichoke Quote:
“After all the trouble you go to, you get about as much actual ‘food’ out of eating an artichoke as you would from licking 30 or 40 postage stamps.” by Miss Piggy
