Some things I am loving at the moment

My glasses! After wearing my contact lens way too much I decided to give my eyes a rest and dug out my glasses. Bordering on nerdy, the rims of these are pretty prominent and the arms are nice and thick. I forgot how much I liked them! And now I can pretend I am super intelligent!

And this book looks sooo good! It is bills open kitchen- bought by my sisters for Senol's birthday last weekend. I love the glowing fading light on the cover and my favourite photo inside is this one (sorry about my crappy photo of this gorgeous photo - it looks a hundred times better in real life):

I love how he writes about the relationship between food and family. He writes "I want my family to grow up with good memories around food. A freshly brewed cup of tea with a slice of cake still warm from the oven or a tart made from freshly picked apricots will become part of a happy memory..." I want that too! I have some very happy memories of making cupcakes with my mum. I am so looking forward to when Yashar is old enough that we can bake yummy memories together.

I have such happy memories of the very happy helpers and the delighted little faces when the cup cakes were ready to ice and then eat!!!

Have you seen stranger than fiction? there is a scene in there where she talks about love of baking and dunking cookies after school that I love.

Funny what you say about the glasses. The other day I was struggling at the computer so I pulled out the old glasses and guess what, I could see! Bill's kitchen is great! They make the recipes from the book at the restaurant- I love the corn fritters!
