Ha.. I thought it was just me having a problem with cutting and dicing so small. Hmm.. I never thought of giving them one of my crockpots. I was hell bent on getting his mother a microwave :)

At home I have used my Magic Chef hand chopper to chop it small enough to his liking...but it seems as though he thinks it is somehow cheating:)

Wow, this board is super quiet these days. I was just popping in to say 'HELLO' to everyone and know how everyone is doing.

All is very good with me and my hubby. Life happens. :) Our little girl is turning five and starting school in the fall. Where does the time go???

selam canlar :) i'm new in this forum, i've one left year to graduate then i start to apply for a visa, but i'm not decided to which visa for ? I study economy and my situation is kind of complicated, the options are;

1. mba programmes for two year which i've to apply for J-1 visa ( but i heard after 2 years you have to go back from where you came and you can not come to US for 2 years but i don't know whole details)

2. one of my cousin is working in D.C and i'd ask him to favour to write a recommendation letter and get a visa, but i don't know what kind of visa is, i think there is H-2B visa and B-1 visa which suits for me.Then i started some traniee program on a bank or get a direct job in same area.

Hello, I thought I start here instead of starting a new topic. Please excuse if I interrupted any conversations or if this is an inappropriate place to post. I will be traveling to Istanbul for work and just wanted to confirm that you can get visa at port of entry (international airport)? Another words, when I check in on state side, are they going to say " where is your visa?". I just don't want to worry about this when I leave. I am taking my wife with me and luckily, she will not need a visa as she has her Brazilian passport with her and Brazilians are exempt.

thanks for any responses,

David

10Yr GC arrived 07/02/09 - Naturalization is next

The drama begins - again!

And now the drama ends - they took the Green card . . .

If anyone stopping by can give me some tips on cooking Turkish foods? Mostly rice dishes? My cooking skills are not very strong and I have never cooked many rice dishes but my husband eats more rice than anything else. I bought a few Turkish cook books but they just say "reduce" heat. What does that mean Low? Med-Low? :unsure:

I just want to learn a few dishes before he comes.

Thanks for any help!
