Saturday Breakfast at Home



With our work schedules, Zach and I rarely get to sleep in and have breakfast together, much less on a Saturday. 

 

We had an abundance of sweet potatoes that needed to be used quickly (can anyone say "Aldi Dumpster?"), and avocados had been on sale at Meijer recently.

 

I took this picture partially because avocados always look cool, and partially to make Connie (a 2013 intern) jealous.

 

Menu:

Sweet Potato Hash with Caramalized Onions
Fried Eggs
Sliced Avocados
Whole Wheat Toast with Apple Butter
Coffee (probably)

Turkish Meal with the Interns

Now I am going to start uploading pictures from my phone.

 

 

Remember these guys? 

 

2012 Interns, finally at our house during their last week of internship.  We had a Turkish feast, a "drinks tasting," made cranberry-popcorn chains, and decorated our Christmas tree.

 

 

 

Jess, Janae, DENISE!, Jared, Ryan, Megan, and Zach

 

 

Our menu was:

 

Turkish Tea (duh)

Manti (little meat dumpling things in garlic yogurt, drizzled with paprika-cumin oil)

Mercimekli Kofte (lentil....patties)

Kisir (Turkish version of tabouli, eaten out of little lettuce cups)

Haydari (my version this time: strained yogurt with dill, garlic, and toasted pine nuts)

Patlican Salatasi (my version this time: fried eggplant cubes, red peppers, garlic, parsley in a tomato-ey sauce)

 

 

Goodness, I can't even remember.  This was too long ago.  There may have been some sort of spinach-feta borek.  I would have made them (Megan loved them) unless something prevented it.  There also may have been hummus and/or baba ganoush.
