Apple Tart

It was one of those days. Nothing went right. Work kept on piling up. I needed something to soothe me. Something to give me the energy to go on. No, I didn’t turn to Nutella this time. Or went outside to get some fresh air and play with the gang. Instead, I gave myself a 15 minute break and delved right into the blogosphere. Jumping from link to link, I found myself looking at a post. In awe. It was this apple tart looking absolutely stunning. Like a flower whose petals are so symmetric that you think only God could have created it. I knew I had to try it. When I turned back a couple of days later to print the post, it hit me… Silly me forgot to bookmark the post… And I am supposed to be the most organized person on the planet.

Gum Mastic Pudding

After reading Keiko’s Gum Mastic Ice Cream post, I knew I had to write about a wonderful pudding that I frequently eat at my very close friends’ house, which we call “The Mansion”. Looking over the amazing Bosphorus, The Mansion is a home to two very dear friends, their two incredibly sweet and funny kids, the most beautiful Golden Retriever on the planet (who is as meek as a lamb and always hungry), and a handful of other close friends with whom I share endless days of food and laughter.
