Food from last week

...or so. I love spending time in the kitchen and those pretty and/or delicious things were made last week. Some savory snacks, pumpkin pie, omelette with onions and brussel sprout chips with avocado salad sandwich are this weeks 'highlights'.

 

 

Dublin Streets

Long time no se, eh? I can explain. For the last month I was travelling, visited London and Dublin. So, although I still have some photos from the time I was still at home I'm going to post Dublin (and very little London) photos probably. I'm starting with Dublin but London was our first destination. I think London is and always will be the most beautiful and lovely city ever but I guess Dublin is still growing on me. So without further ado, Dublin streets.

I must say, during this trip I rarely took photos because I was mostly enjoying myself. I have many things to say as well about Dublin and London but I guess I need to stop myself on this one. I talk about little else lately.  

Doors with history behind them

Historical places in Istanbul are way too familiar for me to find new things when I look. Yet last time I was in Dolmabahçe Palace, I decided to take pictures of something a bit overlooked. Doors around palace. Oh, and a coffee in the garden of course.

Perfect Post-Summer Desserts

Wait. They're just plums. Only they are not. So again a recent found recipe was this. Simple as it gets, delicious, helthy and I don't know what else to say. They're just amazing, ok! Now all you need to do for this recipe is;

Books of September

 

I know September is not over yet but I think I can make a recap of the books I've read on September. I've been also reading Sherlock Holmes' Complete Stories but since I haven't finish it yet I won't put it among these books. Most of these books were read on holiday. I made some little comments on these books under the cut. 

 

Altar of Zeus

Last week I was on a holiday with my family, visiting North Aegean coast of Turkey. To be honest, for a person who spends almost a month of a year there sometimes it's hard to find something new to the eye. Yet everytime I can find a new spot with perfect view. This time it was an altar for Zeus on top of Mount Ida. Although there is not much left from the altar, the view was unbelievable. Especially at sunset.

Geçen hafta ailemle birlikte Kuzey Ege'de (Edremit Körfezi civarında) tatildeydim. Yılın neredeyse bir ayını orada geçirdiğim göz önüne alınırsa artık yeni bir şey görmüyorum. Yine de her seferinde manzarası güzel yeni bir yer keşfediyorum. Bu seferki Kaz Dağları üzerindeki Zeus Altarı'ydı. Altarın kendisinden pek fazla kalıntı yok ancak özellikle günbatımında manzarası inanılmaz. 

Hello!

Hello!

This is the first post of my new blog so welcome! I always find first posts awkward so I'll just cut it short and give you a little information about the blog but probably you won't even read this post.

My name is Melis. I'm a young woman in her twenties living in Turkey, trying to find my way in real life (but aren't we all?). I started this blog just to share my everyday life photos or simply things that interest me. So probably you'll find a lot of things at first that inspires me until I decide a path for the blog. If I ever do, that is. I can't say this is a book blog or food blog or even photography blog but I plan to share all of these things so let's say it's a personal blog, right.

I told you, I get awkward in first posts. Or first meeting.

Anyway. I'll cut it here. I'll probably start with my travel photos and nature because I've been away for a couple of weeks. See you in first real post.

Merhaba!

Blogun ilk postuna hoşgeldiniz. Başlangıç yazılarını her zaman fazla garip bulduğum için kısa kesip blog hakkında kısa biraz bilgi vereceğim ama zaten bu yazıyı okuyacağınızdan şüpheliyim.

Adım Melis. Yirmilerinde, genç bir kadınım ve çoğunlukla ne yapmam gerektiğine karar vermeye çalışarak zaman geçiriyorum şu sıralar. Blogu sadece ilgimi çeken küçük şeyleri ya da günlük fotoğraflarımı paylaşmak için açtım. Bu yüzden muhtemelen bloga yeni bir yol veya tema belirleyene kadar birbirinden farklı bir çok şey bulacaksınız. Eğer belirlersem, tabi. Bu yüzden bir kitap blogu, yemek blogu ya da fotoğraf blogu diyemeyeceğim. Kişisel blog diyebilirim. 

Her neyse, burada keseyim. Dediğim gibi başlangıçları yazarken fazlasıyla garip oluyor (aynı şeyi iki kere yazmak da) ve son zamanlardaki seyahat fotoğraflarıyla başlayayım.
