Well, we haven't managed to have our fabulous Foreign Food Fridays at all since we moved out here in the sticks. We were meeting with our friends and doing them as a group and when we moved it became more of a challenge to meet on a regular basis.

Well, it's been about 4 or so months since we had a Foreign Food Friday and we are missing it more than I thought we would. I am anxious to have one in the first part of November before the holidays overwhelm us with their often bustling schedules.The next country on our list is Portugal.

Well, foreign food friday has slipped to the back burner since we moved and plugged away at our super busy summer. We are hoping to start back up again in a few more weeks once we establish a solid school-time routine again.

We had the opportunity to share our foreign food night tradition with our world-traveling family last Friday. The cuisine of the evening was Turkish food. AMAZING! Not spicy like Thai food but full of lots of different spices and flavors, it was so delicious. Here is what we ate:Appetizers were hummus with Pide (pita) bread, olives, goat cheese and Turkish Cacik which is a yogurt/garlic/cucumber/

We had been recycling the same tired menu of choices for weeks now and frankly I was bored with all of it. There had to be a new way of doing things out there somewhere.
