Iradi Food Home

This November Kündölük is five years old. It opened when I was still writing on MyPage by FTP with my nephew :) I moved here four and half years ago and now there are so many comments that my sister says, "it is not a blog, it is a tea room".

Thank you Dilnoza-apa, Jen, Vika, Nurlan, Aunt Maria, Aidana and all of you who visit and do not write anything. I see the counter. I know you are there.

Next year I try to do the recipes with photo for each step. My nephew gave me a new camera. Prepare for 40 photos of onions.

I did not write for seven weeks. Many of you sent me e-mails to ask, thank you, I could not answer, Attelkom was down and then the electricity, and then I did not want to write.

We are alright. My family is alright. We stayed at home, in the cellar for some nights, my sister and her children came to us from the other district. Dilnoza brought us flour when we had none. The shop opened last Tuesday for two hours and the queue was to the corner.

I will not write about what happened. I will write about food, because food is what I know. Please be patient, the recipes will come but small ones, with what is in the house.

No recipe today. This week was very strange for all Talas, you know why. The Americans left on the 3rd, then on the 9th the new flag, and for a week the neighbours came in and out of my kitchen like it is a railway station. Nobody could sit alone.

I made the big pot of plov on Saturday for everybody in the stairwell and 31 persons ate, I counted. Aunt Maria brought bread, Dilnoza brought her husband and her tea. Nobody said anything about the politics, we talked about weddings and prices and whose son goes to study. I think this is how we are good at: we feed each other and wait.

Jen, thank you for the e-mail, we are fine. Please tell your sister Beth too. She cooked my plov in her kitchen in the Cottonwood Estates and sent me the photo, I laughed and cried both.

Hello everyone! Iradi Food Home is now on Kündölük. Attelkom does not open new MyPages any more since Kündölük started, and the old page was difficult for me, every change I had to ask my nephew with the FTP. Here I just write and press Publish.

I will move all the recipes here one by one, with the photos. The old page will say where we are now.

And now you can write comments! Many people sent me e-mails about the plov, now you can say it here for everybody to see :)
