It was a rainy night, but some great people came out to join Melih and me for some tantuni and kunefe.
Clockwise around the table, from left to right: me, Stew, Ziad, Milad, Elcin, Irem, Sanaz, Onur, Elham, and Melih.
If some of the names don’t sound Turkish, it’s because they’re not. Of the 10 people, four were Turkish, two were Iranian, one was Syrian, one Afghan, one British, and one American (me).
