Look at this!!! Isn't this beauitful? Don't you love the fresh dill on the Borsht soup?Yes, this is Borsht soup but with NO beets in it. It's a tomatoe base with lots of carrots, celery, cabbage, and potatoes finely chopped...some times comes with pieces of meat too.
I have enjoyed this soup when it's been cold out side. Need to look up recipe on line in Russian soups.
Thought y'all would enjoy the fancey table setting @ the Russian restaurant.It's open for lunch and dinner..we seem to be the only people ever eatting lunch out.
The dinning room was ours!!
Okay....next soup! This one is my most favorite! It comes from the Turkish Pizza place"Donner Cafe". I have eatten it @ least 4 times this trip!!!
I believe it is a yellow split pea and wheat soup. The best part of eatting this one is squeezing fresh lemon juice on top! I have tried to do some research on line about Turkish food and found a red split pea soup recipes for brides- to- be. It is supposed to nourish the bride.
If any one knows and or has a good yellow pea soup recipe send it to me.

The Turkish soup is called "mercimek" - note the "c" is pronounced as "j". You can find numerous recipes for it on the internet - with many varieties to suit your specific tastes.
You seem to have come through your process with flying colours so far - best of luck with the rest of it.
oh man, i am loving reading your blog! my wife and i adopted our son from petro in 2006. we miss it and think of our experiences often. best of luck and blessings to all of you. it's a tough experience to go through, but so incredibly worth it. i remember the rollercoaster of emotions vividly and the frustration of not having control over the situations. a block or two to the north of Doner, then 1/2 block east toward the baby house there used to be a good crepe place....yummy soups there too.
and if you like pool, you have to take some time to play billiards there. totally different game.
best of luck to you! enjoy your journey!
