I love dolma...

I have only had grape leaves stuffed with rice as "dolma".

The cooking technique for these stuffed vegs. is interesting - boiling them! I would have thought baking them or even steaming them would be easier.

Have you made these yourself, Saliha?

Yes I have done dolma by that recipe but I love much more Iraqi dolma.

Recipe for it I haven´t. I wish that some my friends some day give it to me...

Then I can share it with you too.

Yes yes they has to boil in water. Has to find tiny kettle for them.

I lived in Adana for 18 months in 1971-72 while in the US Air Force, and thoroughly enjoyed the local food. Sadly, I remember few dishes aside from the kebabs. Adana kebab and Doner Kebab were mid-day favorites when I would go into town on my days off, and breakfast was always ekmek (bread) from the stone oven of the local bakeries, and a jar of milk that still had the cream floating on top.

Ooooh pistachio ice cream. I stayed few times in the Middle East before and remember that ice cream...



And baklava...

And mint tea and and and...
