In Doy’s garden
Log it in Doydum and a row of tomatoes sprouts in today’s bed in front of Doy’s house.
Tahini is roasted sesame seeds ground into a smooth, nutty paste. In Turkey it is swirled with grape molasses into tahin pekmez for breakfast, and it is the backbone of hummus and many dressings.
Tahin pekmez also counts the molasses, so log both when you mix them.
