LOVE

I would like to begin by quoting a line from the movie “Letters to Juliet”, “ Dear Claire, "What" and "If" are two words as non-threatening as words can be. But put them together side-by-side and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life: What if? What if? What if? I don't know how your story ended but if what you felt then was true love, then it's never too late. If it was true then, why wouldn't it be true now? You need only the courage to follow your heart. I don't know what a love like Juliet's feels like - love to leave loved ones for, love to cross oceans for but I'd like to believe if I ever were to feel it, that I will have the courage to seize it. And, Claire, if you didn't, I hope one day that you will. All my love, Juliet” How many times have we pondered upon these two words? What if? What if I was in love with her? What if I married her? What if I hadn’t stopped them? I many not understand what t

IT BAGS

— IT bags are the ultimate must have bags. The ones that according to elite fashion magazines will never go out of fashion. Will not become old or old fashioned, but only vintage . — The term IT Bag was invented in the mid 1990-ties referring to such bags as Hermes Birkin and Hermes Kelly, Chanel 2.55, Givenchy Nightingale and few other of the small number of purses out there that got a massive attention and almost iconic fashion symbol status. Since then the market has developed so quickly that now almost all companies in fashion business offer their purse line and position at least one or several of their bags as the Must-Haves for the bag collectors.

Resurrection Ertugrul : What Type of Food did the Medieval Turkish People Eat?

From Turkish Food Culture I was fascinated since childhood of the medieval period in history. It is an attraction, I cannot explain; perhaps a past life or a connection that haunts me from time to time. My love for food and the Dirilis Ertugrul TV series has captured a part of me that is pushing me to write this post. Turkish food was not so only about Turkish delight and Turkish coffee, but food was simple and humble! From what I have spotted from the episodes of Dirilis Ertugrul, bread and milk was the most common food for the medieval period. Meat was reserved for special occasions like a wedding or a victory in battle. Pastirma was also served to the Alps which clearly acted as a source of protein for them to fight their enemies. Halime Sultan warming up some milk! As we can see here, bread is an integral part along with some meat and rice pilaf. There is also a bowl of milk for everyone. The Ottoman cuisine is highly stylized in the reign of Suleiman and Hurrem Sultan. Howe
