Beyond...

The Bosphorus Bridge

Merhaba,

  I know I never told you my dear friends why is it "Beyond Bosphorus" ?  The Bosphorus :




 "The Bosphorus or Bosporus (Turkish: Boğaziçi, Greek: Βόσπορος, Bosporos, Bulgarian: Босфора, Босфора), also known as the Istanbul Strait (Turkish: İstanbul Boğazı), is a strait that forms part of the boundary between Europe and Asia. It is one of the Turkish Straits, along with the Dardanelles. The world's narrowest strait used for international navigation, it connects the Black Sea with the Sea of Marmara (which is connected by the Dardanelles to the Aegean Sea, and thereby to the Mediterranean Sea)."  That how it explains "Wiki". I was born in Ankara, the capital city of Turkey. I always had a big love for Istanbul, my dream was to live in Istanbul one day, and actually it did happen, after the college I moved to Istanbul finally.  I loved every single minute of living in Istanbul, I had an apartment in Tesvikiye, one of the nicest neighborhood in Istanbul, overlooking The Bosphorus. I loved living there, but I also never forgot my roots, Ankara... the beyond... Although I love Istanbul so much, I love my beautiful city, Ankara as much...

Ankara



  

So that one is clear, let's move on to what we are planning on Thanksgiving.  We actually invited few friends over for the Thanksgiving dinner, and I am not making the turkey, good... such a relief... Obviously we are still going to be cooking, I am going to make my infamous stuffing with andouille sausage,cornbread, crimini mushroom, and wild rice, green bean casserole with portobello mushrooms, brandy infused orange-cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie and my partner will be making his signature lemon-lime meringue pie, roasted root vegetables. What is that? Oh yes, I was just saying that I am not making the turkey, oh well, one of our friends will be making the turkey and the mac and cheese, thanks T... So we are going to celebrate, and be thankful for the bountiful harvest, because Thanksgiving is "traditionally, it has been a time to give thanks for a bountiful harvest." says Wiki... Happy Thanksgiving to all...

 

"Bountiful Harvest" :)
