Last night I attended a potluck dinner hosted by Rustu and Ayse Sakalli, a couple friends I made last week at Tarsus American College. The dinner was attended by some friends and neighbors of Rustu and Ayse.
My favorite dish was the Uzbek rice, shown here in the covered glass container in the right foreground. It was rice mixed with a bunch of spices, meat, and a few mushrooms too, I think. I ate a ton of the stuff. Elinize saglik (health to your hands), Ayse!
