Sarma + friends
Just a quick post that I started several WEEKS ago, and never managed to get posted. 8-) Jessika (front and center, from Turkey) had been wanting to make sarma (turkish dish made up of pickled vine leaves stuffed with rice and seasoned meat and cooked) for a long time and finally got someone to bring her the leaves. They also make something very similar in Romania so Florina and a couple of other Romanian girls, a girl from Hong Kong, Holland, Angela and I had a fun evening making and eating Turkish/Romanian food.

The end result was delicious with a cucumber yogurt sauce! I made some baklava and mint tea to go with it. Yum! Thanks for an awesome evening!
That was an awesome evening! And super good sarma. Thanks so much Teresa for everything this summer!! I won't ever forget it!!! Love you!
It was beautiful to spend the time with my good friends, to make Romanian and Turkisch 'sarma', to write to Angie ;;)..., to play mima, of course the place make the difference... thank you Teresa for your hospitality! Thank you for everything!
