Ellerinize Sağlık!
In Turkey,
the proper way to compliment a chef is to say “Ellerinize Sağlık!” It means “Health to your hands!” Well, we wish the healthiest hands in the
world to several folk for last evening’s Turkish dinner.
First, our
thanks go to Gonca Teker for preparing most of the food for our dinner (on an
apartment sized stove with a bad oven).
Everything was delightful, and I think that it was even healthy! Thanks, also to Mary Ann Hirt for preparing
the Patlıcan Salatası (Eggplant Salad) and Kisir (Bulgur Salad). Both were wonderful! And, of course, to Terry Germanoski for the
best baklava that I have ever tasted!
Terry is a magician with an oven!
We will be
posting the recipes soon for some of the dishes that we enjoyed. Look for them with a “recipe” tag. We have had several memorable dinners over
the past few years with our Nationality Nights, but I am sure that this one
ranked near the top!
We’d like to
say “teşekkür ederim” (thank you) to the many volunteers who helped with
plating and serving the dinner.
We mentioned
several links last night, and I will list them here. Clicking on them will take you directly to the sites.

the belly dance site is http://www.pittsburghbellydance.com/ Amy is also the person to contact for the
Pittsburgh Vegan Festival, and that link is on her site.
