It’s beginning to get warm now. I heard it’s the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Fitr, the end of Ramadan. It must feel weird to have a holiday shift from season to season every few years; last I remember it was on the news in the summer. I heard Erdogan made a speech about Allah damning Israel in his holiday speech.
Eid Mubarak,to anyone who celebrates it.
Last morning in Arles today.I’d like to stay longer but unfortunately I have to go home and do some work 😉
It’s my mom’s birthday today. It’s always a bit bitter to be away from your family on such occasions, but at least I know they’re well. I can’t say that for many other people in Turkey at the moment. This is a very fucked up bayram somehow.
All right, very important question. How do you guys cook your cauliflower? The standard Turkish ways are battered and fried, or stewed with mince, tomatoes and onions (my favorite, especially with lors of red pepper and lemon).
One stock I owned went down like -12% on friday, I’m now reading what people are saying about it and the company’s investor relations person is there answering questions. The IR person started one of their messages in the most wonderfully passive-aggressive way:
”Thank you for your long message. Because it includes so many false statements I feel it is important for me to answer it in the middle of a sunny Saturday afternoon to limit any misunderstandings.”
Bravo, it’s so beautiful.
