It is that time of year!!!

I have chosen a wheat- golden color because it reminds me of a "Harvest" color. I love this time of year! 
Children returning to school soon, the night air becoming more crisp, in Utah the colors of the mountains are changing to yellows and reds.I miss this time of year in Utah. My home. 
 Reader, in Turkey the family I live with, my in laws to be, are from Bulgaria. In this little village they were removed from, all the women got together and would cook what is called in Turkish "Kavahvatalık". This means "With Breakfast" in a literal translation. But, what it is is a special tomato sauce. This type sauce is only made in this Village. Now that time is passing and people are getting older and even the Generation of my people, this Tomato Sauce is becoming obsolete. People are becoming less interested in making it because it is really time consuming. It is cooked in an open fire and the reason why is because it makes this special flavor. This flavor can only be achieved with the ingredients and the open flame cooking. I am thrilled this year because every year Anne, Anneanne and teyze all get together and cook it. Last year, I was able to witness some of this because I was here. I felt bad because I did not understand Turkish enough to know what was going on and so I visited but was not able to help much. I did not understand when they were cutting things and buying the ingredients etc... So I asked them if the next year (which is now) to please let me help and teach me how to make it and I would be better at helping because my Turkish will be ore to par. They agreed and so Anne told me on Monday that we will be making it this week... Right now tomatoes, red bell peppers and egg plant is all in high season and at a low low price. 
  We went to the Tuesday Bazaar. Oooh how big it is in Çorlu!!! I have never seen anything like it! Anyone of my friends would love seeing all the sights. The Farmers Sales men singing and shouting "Buy from us... Fresh Tomatoes, Sweet Strawberries!!" people selling all manner of things, not just fruit or vegetables, baby chicks are sold in the spring, clothing, pashminas, etc. 
 We went to the Tuesday Bazaar and bought 200 pounds of vegetable ingredients for the tomato breakfast sauce. Today we made the fire pit, and we cut the ingredients for tomorrow, when we will cook outside. 
 I am so excited. I will take a lot of pictures. Count on getting some posts of this wonderful, marvelous succulent breakfast sauce. I wish everyone can taste it. It is really heavenly. I am so happy I am learning how to cook this Family Fall Time Tradition. I will cook this every year all the days of my life. I feel so honored that I am a part of this Tradition. I will add it to my traditions along with canning pumpkin, and any other traditions. 
 I shall post said pictures in a couple of days.
