Someone After My Own Heart...

In the Sultanahmet district of Istanbul,

just down the street from the Hagia Sophia,

is a delightful little restaurant that I liked so

much I visited it twice during my stay.

It wasn't the menu that attracted me.

It was the lamps, I could see them from

the street and I knew, this had to be the

home of a collector, a kindred spirit.

The place was filled with old mirrors,

old cameras, radios, all kinds of stuff.

And there were great clocks, another one

of my obsessions interests.

On my first visit I had the spicy

Adana kebab.

On my last night in Istanbul I had

to return to have one last taste of

the teeny Turkish ravioli, served over

tomato sauce and topped with a yogurt

sauce and mint ~ delicious!
