My parents have two refrigerators (hence, two freezers). Since there are only two of them in the house (if you don't count me when I am home, visiting for vacation), it feels like they are storing food in case for a natural catastrophe, so they have enough food for the rest of the year. Well, let me tell you... This is food for the week.
We have two summer houses, both with gardens filled with fig, lemon, peach, apricot and plum trees (can you tell?). My mom loves cooking, and she has this useful habit of storing edibles as marmalade, pickles, jams and juices. She also loves recycling food; the leftover soup for instance is made from lentils, potato, tomato, onion (so far so good), spinach roots, parsley stalks and two beans with molding parts cut out. I can't complain though, because it was DELICIOUS!
Well, I don't want to make the impression that this is a typical Turkish refrigerator. But, it is close...You should know that at the least, the must-have, can't-do-without, will-never-be-over ingredients found as kilos and kilos in any Turk's cooler are: tomato, pepper and eggplant (See Figure 1).
I am going back to the figs now. Afiyet olsun!
