I would like to apologize for not posting in such a long time.  I had lost my camera and it was just found about two week ago. My daughter insisted she did not have it but low and behold she found it between a couple of games while packing to go to the AWA  Convention.  We had a lot going on since then as well, including my sister’s birthday party.  I was busy with the party so I am not sure if anyone took any pictures of the food or cake. The cake was Italian Caramel Creme Cake and it was yummy!  And we roasted a whole lamb.  We had every one’s favorite rice, İç Pilav, salad and a delicious Vidalia Onion Casserole made by none other than Ange. I will get those recipes and pics posted soon.My daughter had been wanting some Menemen and since it was Sunday, I decide it would be a good day to whip some up.  The basics of Menemen are sauteing onion, green pepper and tomatoes until soft and then adding in some eggs and cooking softly.  I am not a fan of really soft eggs so I usually serve myself last and keep mine in the pan a few extra minutes.  I added in some feta aka White Cheese or Beyaz Peynir.
