ADALAR

OTOKI

dve uri stran s trajektom se nahajajo otoki po imenu Princes' Islands. zelena protiutež mestu, ki se z razdaljo obenem znižuje in širi. do kam vse se razlega! dokler ne utihne..končno tišina.
od vse lepote je po izletu tudi moj fotoaparat žal odpovedal. spomini na marec bodo morda tudi zato še toliko bolj intenzivni.

ISLANDS

two hours away by ferry there are small islands called Princes' Islands. nature balances the city that lowers and widens when approaching them. it spreads all around! until it slowly becomes quiet...silence, finally!
so much beauty was too much also for my camera. it stopped working after the trip. it could be one of the reasons to make memories of march even more intense.

MERÇİMEK ÇORBASI

ISMAILOVA LEČINA JUHA 

še to povem in potem začnem pisati o pomladi. glede na to, da je v sloveniji še mrzlo, zna recept za toplo paradižnikovo juho priti prav. mi smo jo jedli celo zimo..večkrat smo se s cimri oglasili pri Ismailu, gospodu, ki ima tri hiše naprej majhno restavracijo. postreže s čajem, tostom, melemenom (umešana jajca s paradižnikom in papriko), rižom ali juho-čorbo. neprestano govori v turščini, nam s pantomimo razlaga besede, ki jih ne razumemo in nas ima rad. zato kuha tako kot bi kuhale babice.

ISMAIL'S LENTIL SOUP

this is the last post left to write before i start writing about spring. according to the fact that it is still cold in slovenia, this recipe for delicous tomato and lentil soup should be tried out! we were eating mercimek corbasi through the whole winter. often, we stopped by our neighbor who runs a small restaurant three blocks up the street. he offers you, tea, toast, melemen (eggs with tomato and pepper), rice or soup. all the time he speaks in turkish, explaining us words we don't know with pantomime and loves us much, therefore makes us soup as our grandmothers would.
