Winter arrived today and it was quite cold on our walk to the market. With Nancy's help I bought some ground beef at Cagdas (you point to the meat you want and then they grind it for you...I would appreciate it more I suppose if I cooked regularly with meat and had some knowledge of cuts and fat levels and such...I think I buy ground beef about 3 times per year in the neat little opaque plastic tube...)
I cooked Sultan's Pilaf for dinner and had rinsed beyaz peynir with the best tomatoes ever (they were little dark red/purple heirloom cherry tomatoes and had THE BEST flavor!). So far, my favorite homemade dinner in Turkey I think. The dish is a rice pilaf with meatballs, and rinsing the beyaz peynir (white cheese--Turkish feta equivalent) has made all the difference for me. I could have eaten the cheese, tomatoes, and bread all night, but the pilaf was too good, too!
