Time for noms.

I think I will bake cookies this evening.

Travel picture of the day.

I was missing Istanbul this morning. So here is a picture to remind me of that magical place.
This is part of the Sultan's bath in the Topkapi Palace. Water would fill the marble basin, then the bather uses a dipping bowl to pour the water all over himself. That way, the basin and the water remains clean, even after scrubbing.

Other wonderful Turkish things:
Topkapi A most unusual movie with Peter Ustinov and Melina Mercouri (Love her name!) as part of a jewel heist from the Topkapi Palace.


Hazer Baba Apple Tea, Turkish, 8.8-Ounce Tins (Pack of 4)
The Turkish Bath. I firmly believe that it could bring world peace. And Apple Tea is good for everything that ails you.
