This is not a food blog

Despite the frequent food related posts, this is not a food blog. We eat frequently and tend to want to share the good meals. I’m going to consolidate several meals in one blog, just to get caught up.

plate of rice and a plate of grilled meat

This is Afghani kababs. Yummy! There are two Afghani restaurants side by side in the Naif neighborhood. Both have good food and fresh bread from a bakery just down the street.

baker with brick oven

This is the baker at Harput, our favorite Turkish restaurant. He’s making fabulous fresh bread.

yogurt, red meat and tomato base sauce

This is iskender kebap, my favorite dish at Harput. I’m sure they have other wonderful things on the menu, but I can never get past the iskender.

brass mug of yogurt drink

Here is the cutest mug of ayran (yogurt drink). It has a tangier taste than laban and not as thick as buttermilk. I prefer ayran over pretty much everything else.

three dishes and flat bread

And, finally, this evening’s meal was at our new neighborhood restaurant, Rara Avis. It is one of the few places where DaddyBird can get spicy food and I can get chili free food. It’s tasty and inexpensive.
