'Tis the season for Drop By'ers so make 'em feel comfy 'n cozy while their stay with you. Find a chair with character and display it in your spare bedroom with a few fine items found in a high-end hotel room. "Set out essentials such as towels and an alarm clock, then provide little luxuries as well: bottles of water, foil-wrapped chocolates, and a few cut blooms in a vase."

But in short... EMURSIVE, collaborated with London’s award-winning PUNCHDRUNK , rented and reinvented the McKittrick Hotel to present Shakespeare’s classic Scottish tragedy, Macbeth, through the lens of suspenseful film noir.

My awesomely fast social life has officially started to slow down since Sunday (yesterday :p) when most of my great friends had left for Turkey for their summer break. Now that I have so much time on my hands, I have decided to bring myself back to the kitchen and cook again. Boy have I missed cooking! I spent my entire Sunday grocery shopping, cooking and baking, and I feel sooo good right now. (White Beans with Meat served with Pilaf and Tzatziki, and Traditional Turkish Sesame Pastry) I have made some traditional Turkish dishes as I was craving for them and I wanted to share them with you. There are four different recipes involved so I decided to divide them into 3 different posts Part 1:  White Beans with Meat (Etli Kuru Fasulye) + My Mom’s Pilaf (Pilav) Recipes Part 2: Cacik, or as our komsu (neighbor) calls it, “Tzatziki.” (Recipe by my brother.) Part 3: Traditional Turkish Sesame Pastry (Kandil Simidi) Hope you guys like them!...
