AUGUST 11, 2022: So, because we're still on lockdown we couldn't go and celebrate our Anniversary Dinner at Long Neck Diner as we had planned. I've been craving one of their Turkish Spinach Pies which they serve with a Greek Salad.
It's been about 3 weeks since they last made them. They don't make them often in the summer because "only locals eat them," says the owner.
Yesterday, the owner told her that he would have some today. This morning, he called to say that they had been "verry bizzy, verry bizzy," but he asked the chef to make us 4 pies - two for our dinner and two for the freezer ("No, don't put in freezer. In fridge. Eat by Saturday. Maybe Sunday okay.")
So, before the kitchen crew left last night, they made Turkish Spinach Pies - but they only had enough on hand to make three. "So, three. Sorry. Only three. But, made just for you," said the owner.
They were delivered today right after the lunch rush. Still hot. We wrapped them in aluminum foil and warmed them in the oven for dinner. OMG. What a treat! And, the salad was so fresh! Our mouths and our tummies are very, very happy.
Or, as they might say in Istanbul, "Lezzetli!" (Delicious!)
This is just one of the reasons we make this our home. A Turkish chef in Delaware. Who'da thunk it? The future is brown, my friends. 2045. It's just around the corner.
That, and did I tell you? The pelicans have arrived. Yes, way! We never have pelicans. We have them now. I'm more excited than I know how to say.
Even in the midst of a resurgence of another COVID variant, you can always find a reason to celebrate. And, you don't even have to break a sweat.
Have a great evening, my friends.
