Ayten Teyze'nin Davet Sofrasi~Ayten's Dinner


This past week I had the pleasure of having dinner with friends at Ayten teyze's home. She has a gorgeous flat in a town near me. It is decorated so beautifully. Mostly decorated with the things she collected over the years. Some Turkish and some American things all blended together. Ayten teyze has lived in American for 40 years and has 3 beautiful children, their families and precious grandchildren. She is a very independent strong lady that I respect very much.
As you see in the pictures she prepared a wonderful feast for us. Baked chicken, fried squash with carrots, rice sauteed in tomato sauce, cauliflower casserole with cheese and bread crumbs. One of my favorites was the bean and carrot dish. On each plate she placed a salad with a light dressing and a slice of egg for decoration. For dessert she mad a fruit gelatin, and Turkish Sutlac or rice pudding. We really enjoyed ourselves. What a beautiful lady. Afiyet olsun!
