What I have with my MOLESKINE notebook

I see this style of photo online a good deal at Tumblr.com. I want to add to the collection--my bag, a brown utility book-sized canvas bag, is helpful to me. I have run it into the ground, but it is a sturdy thing. I really like books. As a child I wanted to be a kangaroo, so I could always keep my books close by. My grandfather and father helped instill in me a great love for books.

Konak - great place to eat

 

Konya makes me happy--I was just walking around and found a new connection in my mental map.

I have been to this restaurant, Konak (originally Kosk, pronounced /Kyosk/, with 2 dots over the 'o')a few times: first with my wife Aundreta, with Nezih Agabey (although I call him Nezih, on his request, sans honorific), with John Miller and Robert Bixler, and with Fevzi, Rabia, and Hasan.

The food is delicious, and it is hailed as a great place for local cuisine. Turkish 'soul food', so to say. Firin kebap, yogurt kebap, patlican (pronounced PAt'luh jan) kebap, and wonderful desserts. Hosmerim (pr. HOSH' mer im), which is a rich dish with sugar, honey, butter, walnuts and pistachio paste, served HOT and it is akin in texture to peanut butter, and so flavorful!

Please come and visit here, and we will eat here together.
