This was what took place in our kitchen Sunday morning. We were really excited when we found a place that we could by bacon. It is next to impossible to find any kind of pork here so this might have been the find of the trip! We were also taught how to make biscuits from scratch since you can't buy the tube biscuits here. My roommate Clay and I got working on this Sunday morning. We shredded some potatoes for hashbrowns and we cubed one for just regular fried potatoes. Of course with biscuits and bacon grease we had to make gravy. It would have been better with some sausage in it but we didn't have any. Our standard country style breakfast was awesome and I am really excited about doing it again soon. We have heard about a butcher where we can find bacon a lot cheaper than where we bought it last time and its rumored that he makes pork sausage as well. That is definitely a good thing! I must say that it was tough getting this all done in our super tiny kitchen but definitely worth the effort. Today was beautiful so I went and walked around Taksim. Taksim is where most things happen around the city and I like it there. I walked around a good bit and then drank some ̉ªay (hot tea) at a little outdoor shop right at the base of the Galata tower and read. It was a really nice and relaxing afternoon.
