Sinanation

It’s really tough! Every morning at the New York office I contemplate what I should have for breakfast. There isn’t certainly much to choose from. Cereal, cereal bar, oatmeal, croissants, grilled cheese from ‘WichCraft or a 6 inch sandwich with melted cheese and turkey from Subway. Croissants are a favorite but usually get dropped from the list since their ridiculous calorie amount is now on every label written in large fonts. Cereal and its other versions are the most popular until I get so tired of it that I can’t even have another bite.

Within all the hunger and the desperate attempts to make a delicious decision for the most important meal of the day, I long for the incredible breakfasts I have back at home with:

• Fresh green olives marinated with olive oil and thyme
• Red watery tomatoes
• Honey and honey comb
• Feta cheese, string cheese, kasar and tulum peyniri
• Fresh savory pastry, bread and croissant
• Delicatessen
• “Menemen” a Turkish omelet made with chopped green pepper, tomatoes, onions and feta cheese
• Cheese souffle
• Turkish tea

I end up with a watery mouth, a huge appetite and nothing good enough to fight it down with. Once a day, five times a week…
