turkish delight

When visiting our Kenosha friends in November, we partook of some authentic Turkish Delight (of Narnia fame), brought from England by Friend#01. It was interesting, but not addicting. Last evening, we partook of another kind of Turkish Delight: an evening with a dear family that has lived in Turkey. They brought some entertainment with them, too: recordings of traditional Turkish music, imported tea and tea accroutrements, photos, a Bible in Turkish language, and hearts full of love for the Turkish people.
After a dinner which included some Middle Eastern cuisine, we sipped strong tea sweetened with sugar.
The youngest and the oldest learn a few things together....
Turkish hospitality dictates that tea be served only by the hostess! Everyone else must be seated.
If you feed your guests well enough and let the conversation spin for a few hours, eventually even someone that is usually quite reserved will act silly. For a video of someone that is usually NOT reserved, see #1 Son's blog.
It was an informational and inspiring evening!
