Türk Kahvesi *Turkish Coffee* Cafe*

[Mariye & Ky 172]

yes Corba you can find it in the grocery the brand is Knor I like ezogelin corbasi

Your welcome Mari

I make it from scratch... but when I first came back from Turkey, I must have had a dozen of those Knorr corbasi's with me!!! I love Yayla Corbasi... easy peasy to make this one too. I miss the Pide fresh from the bakery... omg when K would bring me one everyday "only for you" for Kavalti... I WAS IN HEAVEN!

Tomorrow I want to go to our Turk family's restaurant (we consider them 'my turkish side of the family' since they're from San Francisco. lol) Anyway, I love to be around them so I can learn to speak better.

What's up on everyone's weekend agenda?

Hi everyone! Sorry I was away, Bulut had his interview and WE WERE APPROVED!! I was just too nervous to come on here a fw days b4 everything because then I would start to worry about what we sent and what we didn't send and AP and a whole slew of other things we had no control over. So now you can tell I'm the woman that worried about everything. I could take an HIV test and come back negative, turn around and take another one 5 minutes later and still worry about the results. I put an embassy report up if anyone wants to know what happened (not much, as it was only 5 minutes).

Tolsab, I'm so hungry now! That is the perfect kahvalti and makes me home sick even more. I really miss peynir, tereyagi and ekmek and I'm all good.

I'm happy to hear you had such a positive experience. From everything I've read, there are some reasonable folks at the embassy in Ankara. Congrats!!!

Has anyone heard from Tuana?? They had their interview today....I am hoping everything is ok.....

Another update! I actually read this thread from beginning to end the other night, wow it is crazy to see how much time has passed.

Well Bulut already received his visa, it took all of 2 days and he would have received it the next day but UPS didn't deliver to Selcuk that day. He is actually on vj but neither one of us can actually remember his name on here and I don't think we are even friends. haha. I forgot to thank Kr for the guveç recipe, I will definitely be using that a lot. I will be buying some ramekins soon.

I have been really busy lately. I've been updating our wedding registry and studying Spanish. I will be traveling with Bulut for a month this year and even though we were all over Latin and Central America last year I never bothered to learn Spanish. A lot of people down there were confused because the people assumed that I spoke Spanish. They would start to speak to me and I would just look at them, then Bulut would respond and you knew they were were thinking "How does this gringo know Spanish?" Then it always ended up with some conversation about where I was from and that he spoke with a Spanish Spanish accent. Now I have too many languages bouncing around in my head and I'm starting sentences in English, switching to Spanish and ending in Turkish.

How is everyone doing with their Turkish?

Mine is ok enough where I feel as if I could get around and get my point across in caveman Turkish, but it is so çok zor that I feel like I'm going to be stuck speaking horrible Turkish forever. Bulut is a grammar and pronunciation nazi and explains everything in minute detail but when you can't even figure out the suffixes beyond the most basic ones it is extremely hard. Wow this is long.

Paging Kdj: what is the name of the sauce/condiment with patlican, kirmizı beber ve zeytin yağ? I need that recipe and I keep forgetting the name of it
