Miscallenous .... ~Ç

Geçmiş olsun ( get well soon) Katerina’cım...

I feel that I cannot catch the pace of our Arakhnes... Last week – i must say the week before- i intented to write about LMV, childhood – as the theme of my “ex”-company’s year end meeting and all free associations came to my mind .... (I have written this 3 weeks ago! :()

Then, I had to complete Love was everywhere, then reply to your Vien-Greek writing...
Personally I am in a period “leave-move-change-start” and i thought to write sthing about this.. Then I saw you are sick... your home made remedies are very interesting and i wanted to write about it- OFFF... a lot of things to do, even for pleasure.

Anyway .... let’s move spontaneously... First remedies.. While I am writing these, i have cold too....

1- Echinesia
2- Hot water-honey-lemon
3- Hot milk-honey-ginger
4- Onion/sugar/honey... this is an impactful recipe especially for children recommended by a member of my yahoo group “Hayattan Renkler / Colours of Life” however i lost it...

However the most original one is “şişe çekmek”... You heat little glasses and put to the back and push it back like a vacuum.. I do believe you have the same.

In Turkiye we have a naturalist, spritual healer as it is called "Lokman Hekim-the arabic version of doctor-" which i heard for the first time printed on a classic yearly wall-calendar. I should go further on it..

Finally, as I shared you thru e-mails I “moved”. Moved from job to school and a free lance job, moved from my own flat to mother’s.... It’s not a move literally but a move for me in: April you know i am going to “fly” to States for 4-6 weeks...

This chest / box ( Pandora’s chest ) is a farewell present from my beloved ex-colleagues... It is almost specially designed for Arakhnes: they put in it; 3 yumak and a şiş; a beautiful set of a knitted bonnet and atkı; Candan Erçetin’s CD which you will get a copy asap, the books i gave them to read...

Although the original Pandora’s box is full of “negatives” I continue to perceive it something has a lot of surprises... So, this lovely lily-flowered chest is for me a symbol of past ( the books), today ( the CD, and hat and atkı) and the future ( the knitting set as a source of future knitting projects ) and reserves many things in it. I loved it!

March is quite important month for me... My birthday is 12 of it :) I checked your Μάρτης :)My mother remenbered it and she said: "Yes, we were making Mart ipi-March string- but i don't remember what does it for, let's ask your aunt!" My elder aunt as i call her Büyük Teyze explained it as the same you wrote. And my other aunt, she remembered to and decided to make a one our families the newest member, her grand-child a 11-months girl!

I want to prepare a special posting for March as soon as i found some time...

Other issues "coming soon" our recipes from Cpyrus visit :), the flowers... Aşure... if i also could add to the previous ones as i have already written :(

Love.
