Yikes - Sorry

I am more behind in keeping up the blog than normal, but I promise to catch up soon.
In the meantime, I have written a few recipe concepts over at my all vegan all the time blog, Dish it Up Vegan.  Please click over there to see some of what I've been eating.

Okay, Enough with the Excuses ...

Oh, almost enough excuses anyway:

Some things I've been working on:

Turkish recipes, including a killer adana kebob
Turkish spiced meatloaf
Black-eyed peas and greens tamales
Revised carrot cake
A trip through some of the Oakland-Berkeley ethnic markets

and so much more.

Hope this helps you wait for me to work my way through work and writing deadlines and personal issues unitl I can return to blogging on a more regular basis.  My mom used to call things like this a lick and a promise, a phrase I always liked but am afraid to use today because of the changing nature of slang, but that's what this is -- a little taste and a promise of more to come.

Thanks for hanging in with me.

Promises, Promises

Egads!  I've been traveling (Las Vegas for business), catching up on work after being gone from the office and prepping for my next trip (vacation in Istanbul), but all the while I've been eating, cooking and just thinking about food.

Here are some items to look forward to:

Dinner buffets in Vegas (this time the new Cosmopolitan Hotel)
Ethnic food in Vegas: Cuban, Mexican and Chinese
Vegan Home Cooking:  Sweet Potato Casserole with Onions, Peanut Butter and BBQ sauce
Jewish holiday celebrations -- Purim foods
Cooking with Tea
More wrap ups from the Fancy Food Show

Meanwhile, if you have any sightseeing, shopping, food or other suggestions for Istanbul, I'd love to know about them. Leave a comment below or email me through my profile.

I'm Back But Please Be Patient

No jet lag, but did pick up a whopper of a cold on the way back from Buenos Aires.
I have lots to report, almost 700 photos to download, recipes I can't wait to re-create or create.
I promise to have some tasty posts soon.
