My favorite snack: Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
April 13th, 2006 | Category: Vegetarian
If you had known me in person, you would be really surprised to know that my favorite snack is in fact a healthy one. I have a tendency to pick and choose meals/snacks/drinks that are so full of calories that by the time you’re finished you balloon up instantly and it becomes humanly impossible to fit in the same pants. So this one is definitely an extreme outlier if you were to look at a histogram of my usual diet.

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.
