out of control
It is really getting hard when it is out of your control. Work and corporate life is the peak of off-the control situations. You rarely get what you plan. One day you go to office for a 9:00 o'clock meeting and you suddenly find out that your are supposed to be somewhere less for another meeting. One day you live work at 18:00 with a wide smile on the face that you are going out early! With an instant call you are sent back to your desk for an urgent report and moreover you have to make phone calls to cancel the plans you have for the next 3 days including weekend. You belong to the firm for 7*24 -from their point of view- at least. From my point of view, I would prefer being the basak of arts, literature, nature, love and etc.
How can this dilemma can be solved I do not know yet. I do not claim that I would establish an alternative way of life ... this is unrealistic at the moment, but on the other hand the dreams should be kept live! Once you have started to lose your imagination and dream world... then it is done you absolutely belong to anything except for yourself!
Dear Emrah,
nice try:) but there was no man at all. It was especially for the ladies.
And I am sorry that I could not go to Pink Martini concert :(

The epilogue of a weekend session started at the kitchen. On Friday I was back home later than planned, nevertheless this could not refrain me from cooking a traditional Ottoman meal for my friends on Friday night. I had only 2 hours to prepare the the main course besides salad and Turkish borek (pasta). I should admit that I will not be able to make up all if Aslihan did not help with cleaning and cutting actions for all ingredients of the salad full of a variety of green vegetables. Meanwhile, it was my new oven that did not supported the process as it was supposed to. The aubergine were cooked in more than 1 hour. However,
at the end of this prolonged process of waiting for the oven it was a job of 5 minutes to finalize this special meal. The meat was ready. The table was set. The appetizer kept everybody busy while they were totally hungary! that they had being waiting for almost one hour!
Finally "Hunkar Begendi" was on our plates! This old traditional Ottoman meal is one of the best ones to taste.
Besides, the borek was at the oven! After eating the last borek at the table, it was around midnight. We were having Turkish coffee and tea. I cannot help myself telling that it was really delicious. As I told at the beginning this just the epilogue. I have not told yesterday and sunday yet :) You may be thinking that why she cooked Hunkar Begendi instead of simply preparing pasta or french-fries! It is another story, but briefly I can say that it was an output of an assertion and stubbornness! Once I claimed that I am able to cook such a sophisticated traditional meal, I would do it inevitably.
In the next entry you will find out who was/were with me at the weekend ? What plans we generated ? What kind of role Emrah would play in it ?
