Stories from Turkey: The Chosen: A Book Review

http://www.storiesfromturkey.com/2012/03/chosen-book-review.html

The Chosen: A Book Review. When a seventeen year old student of mine threw out the expression, “What you talking about Willis? 8221; to a good friend the other day, it begged the question – Did she have any idea where the expression came from? She had the tone of voice right, but she had absolutely no idea how an expression from a classic seventies sitcom had transcended time and culture to become a part of twenty first century teen slang. Chaim Potok, the Jewish author of The Chosen. Throughout the nove...

Stories from Turkey: Çiğ Köfte

http://www.storiesfromturkey.com/2012/06/cig-kofte.html

Köfte is a Turkish meatball. They are delicious and everyone has their own special recipe. You can find them at every restaurant and most mother’s will make them as well here in Turkey. So when I was first introduced to Çiğ Köfte, I already new what Köfte was but had to get out my trusty pocket dictionary to figure out exactly what the 'Çiğ' in Çiğ Köfte meant. As in raw meatball? Yes that’s right and like their cooked cousins, they are wonderful. June 24, 2012 at 2:09 PM. Enter your email address:.

Stories from Turkey: Istanbul with Kids: The Çekmeköy Forrest

http://www.storiesfromturkey.com/2011/01/istanbul-with-kids-cekmekoy-forrest.html

Istanbul with Kids: The Çekmeköy Forrest. Post in the future. For today though I wanted to write about a forest you can get to from Kadikoy in about forty-five minutes by public transportation(30 minutes in a dolmuş and about a fifteen to twenty minute walk). Near the entrance to the Dogal Park for a great meal or a hot cup of tea. How to get there. Any time the weather is nice. We went for a wander last weekend and had a great day. Rain = mud. Summer heat may be a bit much at times. Aaron, Id love to go!

Stories from Turkey: April 2012

http://www.storiesfromturkey.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

The second place is back in Avanos proper. They are small shops run by grandfatherly men who've turned hundreds of thousands of pots on the same wheels their fathers before them used. They have the twinkle in their eye and a story - a real story - to tell. They are from Avanos and they'll stay in Avanos. If you get to Avanos, make sure and get back into town. Catching some rays and rest outside of the carpet gallery. Grabbing a large helping of clay. The captivating and jovial Ali Dede shares his story.

Stories from Turkey: Istanbul with Kids: Rahmi M. Koc Museum

http://www.storiesfromturkey.com/2013/04/istanbul-with-kids-rahmi-m-koc-museum.html

Istanbul with Kids: Rahmi M. Koc Museum. One of the great joys of living in any city with kids is the availability of fun, interesting museums. We now live in the tiny town of Marion, South Dakota with a booming population of just over 800 fine people. Suffice it to say, we do not have a museum. And so it is with great fondness that I remember our time in Istanbul and our visit to one of the world's great museums for kids, the Rahmi M Koc Museum. The Turkish version of Kit. The Hands on Area. Earth Laugh...

Stories from Turkey: New Beginnings

http://www.storiesfromturkey.com/2012/06/new-beginnings.html

Our soon to be missed view of our neighborhood. Stories from Turkey has been resting. I"ve been trying to balance starting a business over at The Everyday Language Learner. Preparing for an international move back to the states and with a lot of other projects as of late. It is a bitter sweet move of course - how could we not feel the weight of four wonderful years in Turkey? I was out for a walk in the Outback. I need to work out the details but I hope to get everything up and running yet this summer&#4...
