I am basking in the warmth of your article, with my heart singing every time I look at the wisteria that is so exuberantly blooming against the walls, balcony, and anything else it can attach itself to, other flora included. Daunting energy! It is still cold in the Çanakkale village that is my home, but irises have emerged, fava beans have blossomed, strawberry plants are waiting for a pot, and roses are budding. And I am inspired to make a batch of sourdough starter, although I know any neighbor would oblige. Thank you for sharing the recipe, as well as the book recommendations. My dinner of herbs today is ebe gümeci replacing spinach in börek, prepared in my own (very cold) kitchen.
I have so much joy to hear how nature has been healing you in unexpected ways and those two books sound DELIGHTFUL must reads for me as well. Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for the recommendations! The food and the neighborhood hair salon here in Gaziantep are bringing me joy this week.. I’m just trying to figure out how I could come by leftover sourdough so I could make those cheese biscuits..
The food in Gaziantep would always bring me joy - it’s so special! I wonderful if the local fırın makes sourdough and has any discard? Or maybe neighborhood teyze?
Working on my garden and planting new seedlings is giving me life this week. 👨🏽🌾🪴
My little farmer. 🥰
