Let's talk Turkey

Here I am in Turkey!  Every year my husband and I come here to visit his family.  I'm trying to be a better blogger, so this trip I resolved to take some pictures.  (Most of the few family pictures we have are of our cat.)  I just downloaded the pictures I've taken so far with my iPhone, and they're all of food!  Blogging is teaching me a lot about myself.

Two of these pictures are not for the faint of heart, so if you object to seeing fish gills or a lamb's head, it's probably best for you to move on.

Anyway, this is a big roll of meat.  You can get a sense of scale by looking at the cooks.  The cooks shave off thin slices, which are then eaten with yogurt, butter, tomatoes, and bread in one of my favorite dishes, iskender kebap.

I also took some pictures at the fish market.  Check out the red structure on the right fish.  I'd never seen a fish's gills before taking this picture.

Finally, here are some roosters (my only not-food picture), and a lamb's head shrink-wrapped at the supermarket.

My next blogging goal is to try to take pictures not of food.  I'm expanding my horizons!
