Making "Sarma"

I had my language tutor come over a week ago with her sister to teach me how to make a Turkish food called sarma. It is rice mixed with various spices wrapped in grape leaves. It is cooked, but served cold. It took about three hours to wrap all of them. It was fun to learn and good language practice for me. They are such sweet ladies.

Here is what they look like:

Throughout the evening Urban got lots of love and attention from my friends.

We ate sarma for about a week. The recipe made alot and I even froze some. Thankfully Reed didn't mind eating it and Asher loved it. He has done really well at trying new foods. Hopefully, I can continue to add more Turkish foods to my repetoire!
