Dec 2008: Antalya, Turkey


Hosted by Angie. To celebrate the holidays, and more specifically Christmas, we have painstakingly traced the roots of Saint Nicholas to the Turkish port town of Antalya on the Aegean Sea which will be our theme. Good ol' St. Nick had a reputation for secret gift giving and placing coins in the shoes of people who left them out for him. Thus, he became the model for our modern day Santa Claus. Tah-dah! 

Menu
Appetizer: recipes coming soon!
Main Dish: 
Rack of Lamb
Side Dishes: 
Couscous with Apricots, Mint and Pistachios
Couscous is a TINY steamed pasta that hails from the regions of Morocco and Northern Algeria and is a staple for many cultures. Very versatile and tastes like...whatever you mix with it. 
Dessert: 
In some regions of Turkey, your fortune is told by the placement of the coffee grinds left in the cup. Do I see...the Grim?
Cocktail: recipe coming soon!

So much food!!  Thanks to all our guests that attended.
