That's the way how he eats yoghurt!

a nine month crawler

Our speed-crawler has been nine-month old and trying to stand up by himself. It seems that all of that crawling, stretching and standing builds his muscles and increases his coordination for his first steps. I am trying to keep my camera charged in case he walks any moment.
His language skills have blossomed these days. He does not just babble, he is making sentences I believe!

I got my very first tooth!

After nine months, following 6 months of teething, now today, the first tooth peeked through.
The last one week was the most difficult for me probably. High fever, coughing, crying without any apparent reason and a runny nose... The result is a tooth. I wonder if this is going to be the same for the following 31 teeth!
The comrade tooth is waiting to sprout any moment.. I just wish to have a tight sleep for a week or two.

PENZU

Alemin Kralı Sevgili Günlük,
this was the way I started writing out my free online diary--Penzu. However, I remembered that I had a blog, and a very pretty blog that is waiting to be written for some time. Now my students can read as well.
Penzu is a free online diary, seems to the best among the other online diary websites. I read a lot of nice reviews about it, and as a one month project I decided to include it among my lesson plans.

Everyone got a user name--not as Pro user-- and handed in their user names and passwords. I promised them to check every day. I am doing my best, of course, not every day. In five days time, half of them has written their diaries. Great job!
Probably I will write a paper on my Penzu project next year.

katlanabilen bisiklet mi?

Katlanabilen bisikleti Kevin Scott icat etmiş. Çalınmaya karşı güzel bir fikir.Herhalde kendisi birkaç bisiklet çaldırmış ki bu icada gerek duymuş. Peki ya sürerken orta yerinden ikiye bükülüverirse? Ya da önümüze kimseyi oturtamayacak mıyız?

olsa tadından yenmezdi herhalde

Bundan Türkiye'de üretiliyor olsa, ilk ben alır kullanırım herhalde valizlerden nefret eden biri olarak. Valizlerin kendisi içindekinden ağır oluyor! Hele bir de onlara evde köşe bucak bulamayınca iyice kızıyorum bütün valizlere. Bu ürün İngiltere'de James Dyson tasarım ödülünü kazanmış. Benim de takdirimi kazandı :) Üç dakikada bu hale geliveriyor. Geri dönüştürülebilir, tekrar kullanılabilir.

TrioBike özlemi çekmek

böyle bir güzellik görmemiştim! bir mucidin düşünebileceği en güzel buluş herhalde. Maalesef bebek arabası kullanmanın bile maharet ve sabır istediği ülkemde bunu kullanmak tabii ki de imkansız..Ne midir o icat: Hollanda'dan triobike!

a day out

işe başlamak...

Canım oğlum...Doğumunun üzerinden 6 ay geçti.

Sandwiches+Bread at midnight

For tomorrow I have promised my colleagues to make some bread. After Polonezkoy, when we got home, I still had time to work in the kitchen. So I rolled my sleeves for sandwiches and bread. The recipe I used is from one my favourite websites, http://www.40firinekmek.com/ .

It is midnight but I could not go to bed without showing them here..They look so cute! ( Cute bread?!)

Sandwiches in row:

Here comes the potato bread

Adampol-A Polish Village in Istanbul

Polonezkoy, formerly known as Adampol, is a Polish village located in Istanbul, Beykoz. Although I have been in Istanbul almost for 8 years, I have never had a chance to visit this pretty, heavenly village before. This Sunday morning, we left home for a breakfast in Polonezkoy... If only I had seen it earlier! As Czech author Karel Droz describes it, the village seems to be "a smile of a corner from heaven". The breakfast was yummy, and it was not only the taste, the centre of the village of--where we had the breakfast--was full of smells of roses and magnolias. Our joyful moments were an escape from the hurry and chaotic atmosphere of Istanbul.. Here are some sweet and lovely photos of Polish village.

The forest
The breakfast of course...

Here is the place where we had our breakfast. Centre of the village.

home made...smells great

Here is my homemade, hand kneaded bread. I could not predict that the cuts on it would be so deep.
