Greetings from Istanbul!

Today is Day 2 of my long Turkish getaway... Never in my life did I imagine that I'd see my lovely spring tulips in Istanbul... Think I ended up taking more flower pics than the "proper" attractions pics.. hee. Weather's a bit chilly, but the lovely sun feels great... reminds me of Berkeley weather on a nice spring morning. Aargh... dun want to go home already hehe.

Cake and photography on a Sat afternoon

There's a little jewel of a cafe tucked away in one corner of Chinatown... The cookbooks on display make me want to start baking all over again :(

Above: Dun be deceived by its "solid" exterior... It's full of melted Valrhona choc goodness on the inside!

Below: Pretty shadows cast on the adjacent table...
