<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Since days, I am fighting with my cough. In the winter time, you feel warm at home and feels better with tea but as I am in Chennai which is now the coolest time of the year around 27C degrees, everywhere is cooled with aircons. This makes it a bit harder to heal yourself since there is never a warm atmosphere covering you. I am not a big fan of pills. I always take the nature´s pharmacy to heal every possible sickness. I have tried many ways but I remembered saving this recipe a few years</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> back when I read </span><a href="http://cafefernando.com/turkce/oksuruk-cayi/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+cafefernandotr+%28Cafe+Fernando+-+T%C3%BCrk%C3%A7e%29" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Cenk´s tea</a><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">. I am suggesting this recipe to heal your bad cough in any season you have. As I will be flying home soon for Christmas, I need to kick this cough. Here is a small warning for travellers: Never fly when you are coughing. I made this mistake once and I thought I am having a brain stroke. It is such a terrible pressure in your ears. It took me a while to get rid of it. </span></div>

Recently, I have watched a cooking program where this recipe has taken me in completely. As I was searching for such a dessert for my sweet tooth hubby, this hit the target. To be honest, for me it is too crunchy and a lot of chocolate but I got the good feed back from my hubby. I have to confess something that I have no time and nerves left to make nice photos. I wasted 3 slices already. Nothing turned out as it looked in real and attracted me. But making such a long break, I had this photo problem earlier which lead to posting nothing in the end. Now, I don't mind. I guarantee this will be a very nice option for you and your guests. Something really rich in taste and attractive in shape.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The recipe is from Emel Basdogan! Thanks Emel for sharing this delicious beauty with us!</div>
<br />
There we go :<br />
<br />
Utencils:<br />
<br />
An oven tray<br />
2 round bowls for the batter<br />
1 round glass bowl for shaping and cooling<br />
Spatulas<br />
Hand mixer<br />
Sauce pan<br />
<br />
Please preheat the oven to 160C/ 330F.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Make sure before you start that you have all the ingredients measured and prepared. Eggs at room temperature. Flour sifted. Orange zest and juice prepared. </div>
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
<br />
Sponge Cake:<br />
7 eggs ( whites and yolks seperate)<br />
1 egg full :)<br />
160 gr. / 1 cup caster sugar<br />
130 gr. / 1 cup all purpose flour<br />
1 tsp orange zest<br />
1/4 cup of fresh orange juice<br />
2 pinches of salt<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Beat the egg whites. Once the egg whites lose the transparency, add in the salt. Adding salt in it will make it hold on tight. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In another bowl, beat the egg yolks and 1 egg with the hand mixer. From this moment on, we will not need the hand mixer. Add in the sugar and zest until it takes a texture thick like mayonnaise. Pour in the orange juice. Fold it with a spatula. Once they are mixed add in the egg whites slowly, making sure that the air bubbles are still inside. Pour the batter on the oven tray which is already lined with the baking paper. Put it in oven and bake about 20-25 min. in turbo mode. </div>

Ganache:<br />
200 gr. cream<br />
275 gr. bitter chocolate<br />
150 gr. pistachios<br />
1 tsp orange zest<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Heat the cream in the sauce pan. Once its heated, take it away from the stove. Add in the chocolate pieces and mix. Let it melt with the heat of cream. Very important is it should never be made on the stove. The chocolate can not tolerate the heat! When the colour turns brown, add in the zest and the pistachios. Cool it in the fridge.</div>

Final step:<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Take the glass deep bowl and cover it with a stretch film. This will make sure that the shape of the cake will come out from the mould without sticking. Slice the cake in triangle shapes and lay them at the bottom of the bowl. Pour in the cream mixture and as the last chocolate ganache. Cover the left over cake pieces at the bottom. Then close it with stretch film and let it cool down as long as possible. I would suggest minimum 4 hours.</div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I am normally on the savory side of the cookies rather than the sweet ones. I tried many recipes and here is one I will share with you. This recipe is from my friend Eda. This is associated with her in general, at our teatime gatherings. I made some changes on her ingredients. I am still trying to cut down on access oil in recipes, therefore I skipped the olive oil and the result still came out good. It is crispy outside and fluffy inside. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">INGREDIENTS:</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">DOUGH</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">200. gr butter</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">400 gr. flour</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">100 gr. yoghurt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">5 tbs milk</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 tsp vinegar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/2 a tsp salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">16 gr. baking powder</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 egg (white inside the dough and yolk on the rolls)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Preheat the oven in 180C/ 350F. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>FILLING</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">5 tbs chopped parsley</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">200 gr. mashed feta cheese</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">HOW TO MAKE IT:</span></b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Add in all the ingredients for the dough in the container and start mixing. I used my bread machine for the kneading. Keep kneading until it takes a non sticky texture. If your dough comes too sticky, you can add in some more flour. It might change from flour to flour. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Once it is ready, you can start preparing the shape. Shape them as desired. I preferred to make round pieces and put the cheese-parsley filling in the middle and folded as I turned it in my hand. I put them on the non stick tray. Using a brush, put the egg yolk on each savory cookie. </span></div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Then they are ready to go in the oven. In fan mode/turbo/ convection, bake it for 25 min. You can check the bottoms of the cookies. If they are golden brown at the bottom, it means they are done.</span></div>

Well todays soup comes from Austria. This is my husband´s favourite soup that
he loves eating only when we visit his mother. I don’t know why I never tried
that at home before. As it gets harder to choose a menu for everyday, I came to
the idea that he must be missing this soup. It is really very simple but a bit
time taking as the pancakes should be seperately prepared. It is a
typical traditional Austrian soup which was made by the farmers in the
former times. As they worked outside in the mountains in the cold, they needed sth
rich and heavy to give them energy. Those times are over, but this soup has
found its place in the traditional cuisine of Austria. </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>

<br />
Almost everyone is already in the holiday mood or already started the holidays. There is no change in my system. I am working without a stop. Besides, it is getting more and more busy. <br />
<br />
The only thing that I do, with the first chance, is to cook and post it to my blog whenever I have something new. It looks like that the blog restriction will not be over here. I have to get used to this. Thinking that it is better than nothing, i will keep on posting my recipes despite all the difficulties that I face, lacking many functions. <br />
<br />
This salad is from my archive. It is the right season. One alternative from me to your nice tables full of many kinds of salads during the summer season. <br />
<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
<br />
1/2 kg french/ kidney beans <br />
1 cup of bread crumbs <br />
1/2 lemon juice<br />
6 gloves of garlic <br />
2 tablespoon olive oil <br />
1/2 tablespoon salt <br />
1 cup of cold water <br />
<br />
How to make it?:<br />
<br />
This is originally made of kidney beans, since I can not find it here, I made it with french beans. Clean out the beans, chop them in required size and wash. Boil them in the salty water and then drain (sharing 1 cup of water). Add crumbs, squeezed lemon, olive oil and the squeezed garlic. Keep it in the fridge an overnight so that the sauce is absorbed better. Serve it cold. <br />
<br />
AFIYET OLSUN!</div>

<br />
Finally I am back. I am sure everyone who has checked my page realized that I have not added new posts recently. In China, like Youtube, blogs are also blocked. Thanks to my friend, I found a way to go in my page. Now, I can view. Yuppiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! <br />
<br />
Of course, we had many things in agenda. Eurovision 2009, has not been resulted like we hoped. Due to the time difference, I made my schedule to stay awake till dawn. However, I could also resist until 02:30. This is the hardest side of being in China. I always followed the national matches setting my alarm. At first, I thought Hadise has a big chance since her contestants were not that good. Despite everything, Hadise really showed a very good performance. Instead of Dum Tek Tek song,another song could bring us a better result, but for sure, 4th place is not that bad. Congratulations Hadise!<br />
<br />
This weekend, I baked Brownie which is the only cake I bake since I am 6. To tell the truth, this cake tastes delicious even when it is raw. As a matter of fact, that is how I showed interest to learn how to make it, at the age of 6. My mum always shared for me and my younger brother a small portion. We always dipped it until the plate is spotless. Now, I can understand my dear mother very well. How much more you share, how small your cake gets. :) Now I am giving the same struggle!! with my hubby. The size of my cake is therefore, a little smaller than the given amounts.So, I had to use a rectangular mould instead of the big round one. It was really fun to eat it unbaked. :))<br />
<br />
In general, the Brownies are made with chocolates which of course gives a delicious taste. But my recipe is lighter than the one with chocolate. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ingredients: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
125 gr. unsalted butter (room temperature) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3 eggs </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2 cups flour</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1,5 cups sugar </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1/4 cup cacao </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
16 gr. baking powder </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
10 gr. vanillin </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2 teaspoon cinnamon </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
180 ml milk </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
24 cm. clamp cake mold ( covered with wax baking paper)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How to make it?: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Preheat the oven to 180C. Prepare your mold placing a baking paper. In a deep bowl, mix the dry ingredients flour, cacao, cinnamon, baking powder and vanillin. Keep it aside. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I used a stand mixer to mix the sugar with butter in room temperature. Make sure the sugar and butter melts completely. Add the eggs one by one and mix until you get a light yellow color. Please remember to mix always in the same direction. Add the dry ingredients mixture, you have prepared earlier. The consistency will be intensive until you add in the milk. Pour the mixture in the mold and put it in the oven. The first 20 minutes, avoid opening the oven cover. Total baking period is around 35 minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Note: I am having some problems about adding the photos like I want. I will keep on like this until the blog restriction is over.</div>
<br />
AFIYET OLSUN!</div>

There are many kinds of beans in the world. The fresh bean which is called as French Beans, is my favorite in all. It has a very reasonable prep and cooking time. The magic is in the olive oil. The tip for green vegetable dishes in basic is, to saute the onions in the olive oil and add the vegetables in. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">Ingredients:</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div><div>1 kg. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">French Beans</span> </div><div>1 big size <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">onion</span> (chopped in very small cubes)</div><div>1/2 tbs<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"> sugar </span></div><div>2 cloves of <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">garlic</span></div><div>3 big size <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">to</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">matoes </span>(grated)</div><div>1 cup <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">olive oil</span></div><div>2 ts <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">salt</span></div><div>4 cups of boiled <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">water</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">How to make it?:</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Clean out and wash the beans. Saute the onions, garlics and the sugar in a large skillet in the heated olive oil, until tender and lightly brown. Add the tomatoes and then the beans in and mix them for 5 minutes on a high heat. When the beans get darker, add the water. When the beans boil, sprinkle the salt. Keep cooking on a high heat for about 7-8 minutes and then lower the heat. If you have a chance to stand it up in the fridge for a day, all the dishes cooked with olive oil will give a better result. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">AFIYET OLSUN!</span></div>Mujdemi Isterimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11021226439084170985noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5874204248331336038.post-11947868777517745942009-05-08T08:22:00.001+08:002009-05-08T18:27:25.169+08:00Pasta Aschutta and Yunyang Grottoes<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; "><div style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-weight: bold; line-height: 23px; font-family:Verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-family:Georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/28331695@N04/3505272343/" title="pasta acshutta by mujdeoz, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3599/3505272343_2144960c20.jpg" width="419" height="500" alt="pasta acshutta" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(85, 26, 139); text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">On Saturday, we had an excursion to Yunyang Grottoes which is close to our location.

These caves are formed by 51.000 figures which are carved in the mountain walls and are well known as it is being an open museum.

Despite the fact that, there were 252 caves exist in total, only 40 of them are open for visit. The other caves lost their quality due to the sun, rain and the fact of lack of proper care. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">The first era caves had been made in the mountains and had been damaged because of the water coming from the mountains that they are leaning on. Due to the high precautions, now, it is not allowed to make photos inside like in all the museums. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/28331695@N04/3510017430/" title="buddha5 by mujdeoz, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3638/3510017430_f15c1df70a.jpg" width="500" height="353" alt="buddha5" /></a><br /></div></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">As you walk through the road to the other caves, you come to an open area. In most of the Travel Magazines, the Buddha Statues in here can mostly be seen in the articles about China's touristic places. Especially the 17m. high Buddha Statue takes over all the other ones. The Buddhas reflect the era by their way of sitting. If the legs are crossed, Future Buddha; if the legs are straight, Today's Buddha. In 2001, the Yungang Grottoes were made a UNESCO World Heritage Site, representing the masterpiece of early Chinese Buddhist cave art. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">As it is well known, Buddhism is born in India and came to China with the influence of Silk Road. Therefore, these masterpiece of art caves reflect the mixture of Indian and Chinese art. The artists who worked in the previous carvings gave a support to this project as well.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/28331695@N04/3510023648/" title="buddha6 by mujdeoz, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3546/3510023648_2cb0acd575.jpg" width="275" height="500" alt="buddha6" /></a><br /></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">The story how these carvings are made: </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="">A</span>ccording to a story, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Northern Dynasty Emperor</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">, Tan Yao, comes across with a famous Buddhist Priest<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">. The Emperor's horse grabs the Priest from his cowl and does not leave it. The Emperor says: ' Horses know who is a good man.' and he assigns the Priest to be responsible from all the Buddhist activities in the country. The Priest chooses the Yunyang Caves which are located in the peak of Wuzhou Mountains as the temple and gives a start to the project. That is the reason why the first 5 caves are named with the Emperor's name.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Especially on the 15th cave which is known as Ten-thousand-Buddha cave, there are then thousand pieces of small cavings. Since this religion came from India, the temple did not have a big influence on the people, therefore the temple could not get an intensive care in the early days. When the Western and Japanese scientists started show interest on the caves, then they were recognised of their values. Until this period, many of the statues and Buddha heads had been stolen and been taken out of China. It is even known that a piece of this stolen statue is exhibited in a museum in France, however there had been no effort to claim it back. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; font-family:Verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: normal; font-family:Georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=";"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">After a long cultural trip, we came home very tired.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is a life saver menu of Sunday breakfasts. Both preparing and cooking are easy... It is so enjoyable to eat. The best thing about the pancake is that you can have many alternatives with less ingredients. As per your preference, you can either prepare it with any kind of ingredient like cheese or just cook it and then serve it rolled. Pancake is a change on Sundays and fun for your kids. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">Ingredients:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
400 ml. milk</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2 cup flour</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2 eggs</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 pack of baking powder</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 tsp salt</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 tsp sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 tbs butter</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Refill:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
200 gr. grated Cheese</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">How to make it?:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mix the eggs with a mixer. Stir the milk, flavour, baking powder, salt and the sugar slowly. Once the consistency becomes thicker, you can start cooking it. Melt the butter in a non-sticky pan and pour a ladle full amount starting from the center of the pan and make circles.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/28331695@N04/3500022486/" title="krep1 by mujdeoz, on Flickr"><img alt="krep1" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3214/3500022486_4cc574c5cd_m.jpg" height="240" width="202" /></a></div>
Meanwhile, you can make circles with the pan with your other hand making it easy to have the proper round shape. The first pancake will be with the butter but you do not need to use butter again for the rest. It will not stick on the pan and it will be lighter. Keep the stove in low level on and turn the pancake up-side-down when you see the holes on.<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Depending on your preference, add only cheese or veges with sauce and fold it from the half part. When the color turns darker, prepare for service. </div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can prepare pancakes without adding something in. Later on, you can serve them with jam, honey, jams, nuts, chocolate and banana as dessert.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">AFIYET OLSUN!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Today is my hubby's birthday. He is not that sort, fond of celebrations and parties. I have been asking for a week what to do but he always ignored it. Therefore, I could not make a proper plan. Moreover, whenever I intend to make something, I have difficulties in finding the ingredients and lose my enthusiasm. Finally, this problem has been solved. I found a wholesaler here, which is supplying everything for the Bakery Shops. Every pack in 1 kg, 2kg, 5kg or 10 kg of amount. I have chosen the ones that I will use often. As a result, in such a hurry, my plan could not catch the time. Actually, I should have had a cake in the fridge already. But unfortunately, there is none :(((</span></span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Yesterday after work, I made really delicious Mushroom cookies which I thought that it is so simple to make and that will take me maximum one hour to make but I had the difficulty due to the limited utensils in my kitchen in China. So, it lasted quite a long time to make it. I got a comment from my dear husband : '<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">They look really good but they taste boring! Why you did not put cream in it?</span>" He has no connection to cookies. For him, if there is a dessert, it should be either cream cake or something creamy. Today, as soon as I am off home, I have to bake a cake for him . I will also add it here soon.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">In China, there are really nice cakes visually. However, in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuozhou">Shuozhou </a>city where we live, they bake the sponge cake and merely decorate it with butter cream which is shaped and colored. They add no fruits, chocolate or nuts in it. Therefore, we never prefer to buy one as long as we are not constrained. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Actually, I planned to make these cookies as a speicy in the birthday menu. However, since it was my first try, I never could imagine that they would take such a long time. I have left no time to bake my cake :( Don't you ever be scared. I just had those difficulties due to the old equipment and small plates I had here. Otherwise, this has nothing to do with the recipe. For the recipe of this cookie, firstly I would like to thank to my dear friend Esra (<a href="http://acemisef.blogspot.com/">Acemi Sef</a>) who tried it and recommended it to me, and then to <a href="http://efsunundunyasi.blogspot.com/2009/02/mantar-kurabiye.html">Efsun </a>who shared it with us. </span></span></div>

I have never seen it anywhere. My cat is an absolute cake addicted. He is waiting for the cake in the oven like he is waiting for the fish. I can hardly decorate my cake, running away from him. When the cake is in the fridge, then it is safe. Thus, he knows it very well that it will be eaten after it is cooled. Therefore, he is on duty waiting in front of the fridge. He stares at me innocently while miyaving, in such a way that he means 'Give me as well". As a result, we can not resist this cute impression he has, so he gets his little share. When you let, he can finish the whole cake.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The first time when we realised it, was a big shock for us. I prepared my sponge cake and let it for cooling on the table. Since I have never experienced it before, I, without knowing what's going to happen and enjoying a relaxing Sunday, realised that my ball player cat, Shine, is not begging around to play. I called him several times. Silence... I went around to look for him. Oh my goodness! I could not believe my eyes. There is only a quarter of my cake left!!! Despite that he was still keeping on. All of a sudden, he could not know what to do, as soon as his eyes sticked on my one. With the feeling of guilt, he ran away. I just thought that it is just a coinsedence, until I realised that he is showing the same attention for the second time. I had to be careful after having realised that. Now, we know that each cake has a share for Shine. An additional item in his favorites list of marronies, potatoes, sweet corns. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Honestly, life has no joice without these little cute creatures that we have never missed keeping around in our childhood. You can never teach these cute little pets to wait for us at the door, the welcoming dance that they make when we come in, showing the love they have for us each second. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You still have noone waiting for you at home?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>Mujdemi Isterimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11021226439084170985noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5874204248331336038.post-80061093990477740772009-04-28T13:21:00.000+08:002009-04-28T14:54:01.142+08:00A Fishead Restaurant Ritual<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFPXbhvID9Yt2u6lQt4Pw2p_lp3bfdh_ifCxkF4TFM3Wz0SfcL8Hmvaiqgqzq91-83TMVR6ijd3fyf2tOLda2bMty0BD-4F6j_Qjcx5AIbE4UoRMNqmhKiqDnAzd8Ge4NDVHUdhxmMcUA/s1600-h/fish+head.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFPXbhvID9Yt2u6lQt4Pw2p_lp3bfdh_ifCxkF4TFM3Wz0SfcL8Hmvaiqgqzq91-83TMVR6ijd3fyf2tOLda2bMty0BD-4F6j_Qjcx5AIbE4UoRMNqmhKiqDnAzd8Ge4NDVHUdhxmMcUA/s320/fish+head.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329629590748261858" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 16px; font-family:Verdana;font-size:13px;"><div style="text-align: justify; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:georgia;font-size:16px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">It would be weird, when I would have been away from this blogging world whereas I am also away from everything. I have no idea what to write everytime, to be honest. Actually, there is a lot to write. You can not come to an end for all what sounds and looks so weird for us. When I take into consideration that I am working as well, I am not having left so much spare time. But I made the promise to myself that I will find this time. It is inevitable that I live in China, the real part of China. I will try to reflect the 'mystic world' we observe, from our observations.<br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">You might wonder where the hell is this Real China, but here is such a place where people still live away from civilisation and where they have no idea what pizza is or what pasta is. Here, they react like they see aliens when they see us, the foreigners ( moreover, I am the only lady -with blonde hair). It is city called </span></span><a href="http://www.sz.sxei.cn/szszsj/tzhj/tzhj_1.htm"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Shuozhou</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">, in Shanxi Province, with a population of 1,500,000.<br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Here everything is a problem where you never think about in your daily life even finding pasta in a supermarket. In fact, here is well-known with its noodles that I can not stand seeing. As long as you can not find the taste that you are used to, it is very difficult to survive here: especially if you are that selective about taste, like me.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Our social life is somewhere under 0. But of course, it is not an obstacle for us to be happy. For us, not so many activities here rather than going for fishead restaurant and for me, cooking. Especially me... who has made a big fame in selecting dishes by making everyone mad since my childhood. In a place like China, when I even think about for a while where else we could be which is more utopic. It is better NOT to think :) because my life is full of such weirdness. So, you never know I might find myself in that place. I do not want to be so rebellious. However, I will give some details about this Fishead Restaurant Ritual. I do not know how come I showed the courage to try because for me the eyes taste before my mouth and plus the smell stuff. These are the determinative signs for me. <br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Anyway, I can not really remember how I convinced myself trying it ( I guess I had no way out) but this restaurant became my favorite from the first day on. My goodness, can there be such a delicious taste? Rice and fish head, and on it that tremendous spicy souce that I could never figure out what is indiside. It is more like liquid but a bit oily. When I would be in </span></span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izmir"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Izmir</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">, I could have never imagined making such a union. I enrich this main dish with some oily roasted nuts and oven-dried spicy potatoes. It is such a delicious taste, I take every bit with my chopsticks, wishing that it becomes endless in my mouth. I merely wait for Saturdays only for this. I wonder if I could do this myself when we go away from here. <br /></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span><div style="text-align: justify; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">If you ask me what this Fish Head is... It is the head part of a big fish, on which you eat the cheeks of the fish. Actually, the meat part is really little. (Therefore, we most of the time order 2). We always wondered where the rest of the fish is. Then we got the information that the restaurant is buying only the head of the fishes. I tried in several other cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou but this one here in Shuozhou is the best ever. I have intended many times to go in the kitchen and have a look but my dear husband said :' you might never eat this again when you see the kitchen' and stopped me. I could never risk to leave this pleasure away. So, I never insisted. For the time being, it is just a big question mark how that fish is being cooked in that souce, probably steamed. It is really delicious. My mouth is watering even my only think about it. <br /></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br />Luckily there is Fishead.<br /><br /><br />1 July2008 Shuozhou</span></span></span>Mujdemi Isterimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11021226439084170985noreply@blogger.com0
