I have had such a craving for Turkish food and when I laid my eyes on that roast it nearly knocked me from my seat. It looks absolutely gorgeous, if a roast can look so good I think I got a whiff:).<BR/><BR/>I miss my Turkish friends who have not been back to the states in way to long. You are so blessed to have such talented and creative friends. Would you mind sharing? I'm just going to have to travel the higher road of the "Long Island Casserole Corridor" and head to Pita Palace and then hit their store next store for some of their spices, not as carefully blended but good enough while I dream...~~louise~~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07335196139849995706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30577630.post-44211141479997716772009-03-14T09:12:00.000-04:002009-03-14T09:12:00.000-04:00We saw similar vendors in the street markets in Fr...We saw similar vendors in the street markets in France.

I was looking for a new pork recipie and I am now inspired, it is much more inventive than my traditional mix of garlic, rosemary, and olive oil. Of course preparation is key but when it comes to pork I try to buy locally raised pig and once you have good quality pork you will find it difficult to buy the supermarket variety which are often extremly lean and lacking the flavor that the natural pork has due to the higher fat content. After I make the pork loin I'm booking a trip to Turkey and maybe Doug could come along as my guide.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30577630.post-45124597542452137252009-03-13T16:29:00.000-04:002009-03-13T16:29:00.000-04:00What a lovely gift!

The tomatoes are wonderful indeed. Hope you can share more stories soon. I love the way you approach cooking. Still chuckling about the 'Barefoot..." description.

Thanks to Doug for sharing his photos, and to you for bringing the spice market to life.

You retold the tales of his trip very nicely. <BR/><BR/>I've seen those spice packs before (I think my mother also brought me back one from Turkey). I'm not sure why it didn't occur to me to just mix the whole thing together! I just used them separately.<BR/><BR/>And your pork loin looks delicious!Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18207184256646710317noreply@blogger.com
