That food art looks stunning (from the looks of the chef's belly, it looks like he enjoys taste testing everything too!).  Haven't commented too much on this thread because I am totally jealous, but avidly look forward to hearing from you - loving all your updates and photos.

Such preparation in the appearance of the food. Amazing.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

We are back in Istanbul and all is not good.  Ral is in hospital with Gastro.  He is in a German Hospital, private, l  about as good as it gets here.   Has been there for 2 days and they are feeding him anti biotics through a drip.  He is a little better ,  but certainly not well enough to travel back home.  Language is a big problem.  The people are nice and it is a large and beautiful city.  The hospital is 15 minutes walk from the hotel. The Australian Consul has been very good at contacting hospital, hotel and with advice.  More later.

So sorry to hear your news. Tell Ral that there will be many good wishes and prayers for his recovery coming his way.
I hope the antibiotics kick in soon.  Xox

Oh Chookie that is truly awful. It is bad enough when you are ill  but being in a non English speaking place away from home is ghastly. Do take care of yourself and my love and thoughts are with you both.
