turkish brunch with the fun bunch

There's this turkish cafe called Cafe Fulya by my house that has their menu on a white board outside and I always pass by on the way home and it always looked like they served delicious food.

My lunch mates, Jolene and Dolan.

My friend Jenny

What is she doing?

Now she's lecturing Dolan, notice the very serious slight pursing of the upper lips, Dolan's walking on glass...excuses are pointless at this point

My food, they are little dumplings called manti filled with beef and cheese with yogurt sauce, they were DELICIOUS!

I also had the special pie, also DELICIOUS although I'm not sure what was special about it! I then had baklava at the end, which was also delicious.

She had the spinach pie I think. Later she had a heaping bowl of rice pudding which she says was made with condensed milk, her most favorite thing in the entire world. Did you ever sneak spoonfuls of condensed milk from the half opened can in the fridge when your mom or grandma wasn't looking? I did, I got a good spanking when I got caught too, worth it though.

I forget what this was but that's yogurt sauce on top.

and a salad for Dolan, which was good. He had a slice of cake afterwards which was also delicious. He also liked my baklava, they were ooozing honey! The BEST baklava I've ever tasted!

Earlier, Jolene made spam musubi and they were the BEST spam musubi I've ever tasted! It's hard to believe because spam musubi is so simple, heck I didn't believe it either at first, but once they passed my gastronomical gates (lips), my taste buds screamed for more and you bet your bottom dollar I gave it more! I am craving them now
