A Rare Opportunity

There were a good many nations invited to take part in the Kucukcekmece Lake festival. In my lifetime I've had the privilege of meeting at least one native from most of those present. As much as I've heard about Palestinians on the news, I've never met or conversed with a Palestinian or Philistine. At one of the events where the groups all mingled in costume, this dancer and I decided we really needed to take a picture together since we were carrying flags that aren't often found together. Call it our own little political statement. Then we did something typically female and non-political: we shared a recipe.
