In Doy’s garden

Log it in Doydum and a row of tomatoes sprouts in today’s bed in front of Doy’s house.

Pastırma is beef cured with salt, pressed and dried, then coated in çemen, a paste of fenugreek, garlic and red pepper. Kayseri is famous for it; it is sliced paper-thin and eaten at breakfast, with eggs or over hot hummus.

Slices are paper-thin, so it is easier to weigh a few than to guess.
