Crazy and hectic are two words to describe it... I've been on holidays recently, started a new full time job and also been doing my cooking classes on the weekends. So yes I've been juggling a bit. On top of that, I decided to fund raise for Sussan Woman's fun run for breast cancer awareness under Turkish Thyme Cooking School and have been successful in raising $1220.00. I'm pretty proud of that effort. So tomorrow is the big 10km run which I'm confident I'll have done and dusted in an hour.
With cooking classes booked every weekend until Christmas, I raced off to collect my fun run gear this morning and headed out to the Turkish food wholesalers in the Northern Suburbs of Melbourne. Thank god for air conditioning as what a stinker of a day.
Because of our holidays it had been a while since i had been shopping and I was out of quite a bit. I couldn't believe my eyes with the bargains they had. I had to buy 6 of everything. :) Pomegranate molasses, Turkish Delight, Turkish coffee, pastirma, sumak, isot, yufka and other Turkish ingredients were all on special. With the cooking school's cupboards running dry, luckily i had taken my gorgeous muscle made husband to help with the bags. The car was full and over flowing... But we were not done, with a pretty hefty number on the cash register screen, I whipped out the plastic, signed my life away and headed back down the freeway South of the river to the South Melbourne markets.
I needed zucchini flowers for the gourmet cooking class coming up and bought some rose petals to garnish the rose water rice pudding I'll make tomorrow as a treat for myself after i cross the finish line tomorrow.
So throwing more bags full of food into the overflowing car, we got home at about 4pm. Its now 9.00pm and I've only just sat down to relax with a cup of Turkish apple tea. The kitchen cupboards of Turkish Thyme cooking school got rearranged, re-organised and once I had done all of that, I had to test making my mother in laws famous revani recipe she gave us over the phone during the week and also my favourite quick and easy gourmet meal, peppered lamb with morello cherry sauce on a bed of cauliflower mash...My mother in laws revani is much nicer than mine so I think I'll pinch it and use it for the Turkish delights cooking class from now on....
