Countries favorite foods!

"It’s the most developed and diverse form of food throughout the Balcans, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Caucasia, Eurasia, Central Asia, Northern Africa and Mediterranean, thanks to unique multicultural Ottoman culture and legacy. Most cuisines throughout these regions still have Turkish loan words to describe some of their best recipes.
Thousands of recipes, hundreds of kebabs, meatballs, rolls, böreks, pides, desserts, chicken, fish and vegetable recipes, herbs, soups, rice, hundreds of breakfast delicacies. So let’s start:
You need to have your breakfast. I will include only three breakfast delicacies among hundreds of others.
If you are in the Black Sea region:
Mıhlama, a perfect local cheese melted in butter and corn flour.
————————————————————————————————
If you are in Gaziantep, one of the most famous gastronomic cities in Turkey:
Katmer, unique local filo sheets filled with crushed pistachio, butter, milk cream and sugar. You can never forget that taste!
—————————————————————————————————————-
If you are in Istanbul, or elsewhere in Turkey,
Menemen, eggs with tomato, green peppers and melted cheddar cheese. It makes a great breakfast always!
———————————————————————————————————————-
Now is the time for some delicious meals:
Mantı, such a tasty thing. When you pour yogurt with garlic, and butter fried tomato sauce, it is invincible!
Sarma, wrapped vine, cabbage, kale or chard leaves filled with seasoned rice mixture, and olive oil. Perfect treat from mom!
Patlıcan Kebabı, or eggplants kebap. It’s baken and very juicy, an interesting but delicious form of kebap.
Çiğ köfte, one of the most popular Turkish fast food. Uncooked bulgur kneaded with minced meat, tomato paste, spices and pommegranate syrup.
Have you ever tried Zahter salatası, a fresh mountain thyme salad? It’s not a salad, but almost a privilege!
And now let’s see a few desserts:
I visited many Künefe restaurants in the middle east, but to be objective, they are not even closer to the one in Turkey in taste. It’s nirvana in Turkey.
Güllaç, an Ottoman dessert, simple but great, its rosewater taste is so yummy.
I am a foodie, I cook myself many recipes from Turkish cuisine and rarely from other cuisines, I visited the middle east and Europe, tried many cuisines, but Ottoman-Turkish cuisine is the most delicious and diverse cuisine that I have ever seen."

"White blouses are like blank canvases - they're very versatile and can be styled in a number of ways.

My favorite way to style a white top is with a pair of blue jeans/shorts or black slacks. Very simple, classy, and clean. This is probably the easiest way to style a white blouse. And, it'll work for any kind of blouse, regardless of the texture!

Another way you can approach accessorizing a white blouse is to experiment with color. White goes with a lot of different colors, but I usually lean towards picking bold solids to pair with a white blouse. Some examples include a rich royal blue, deep green, or maybe some simple or understand neutrals like brown or grey. You can try many different colors, depending on your level of comfort and how bold of a statement you want to make.

The fun part about wearing a white top is that you can change the color of the shorts or skirts you wear, and the top will always match! So, if you've got a pair of yellow shorts that you love but can't match, try a white top! Here are some examples of celebrities pairing a white blouse with skirts, shorts, and pants of varying lengths and colors.

Prints are also a great way to go. Because white is such a simple color, you can afford to go crazy with a printed skirt or jacket without making your outfit go too crazy.

All in all, white blouses are extremely versatile and they are definitely a staple in any woman's closet."

Women of Ukraine

"Not just the actresses and the celebrities, all the Ukrainian women are beautiful. Their attitude is superb. They carry themselves nicely. The style and fashion sense is always on point. Even if you just take a stroll around any street of Ukraine, you will see a bunch of beautiful Ukrainian women.
I study at a medical university in Ukraine, the girls over here are beauties with brains. They’re smart and intelligent. They’re also considered great homemakers. I’ve been to all over Europe, but yet to see a country with more beautiful women than Ukraine. In general, Eastern European women are most beautiful in my opinion. No offence to any other nationalities, but a lot of people with agree with me here, The further East you go the better are the women.
I guess the photos I’ve uploaded doesn’t do justice to the beauty of Ukrainian women. You will have to visit Ukraine to fall in love with the beautiful women and this country. And yeah, the war is over, Ukraine is safe. Come visit."

Cabbage health!

"Based upon its effects on restoring the health of my son who became severely ill from an incompetent doctor administrating unnecessary antibiotics - this is the single healthiest food on Earth:
Red cabbage. Why?
It benefits every stage of the gasto-intestinal system as follows:
  • Eliminates gastritis of the stomach and also reduces athritis (due to anti-inflammatory compounds - even a microscopic dose of red cabbage juice stops gastritis)
  • Eliminates dysbiosis of the small intestine (potent source of healthy lactobacteria, even more so in fermented form such as sauerkraut or kimchi)
  • Stimulates pancreatic enzyme production to assist digestion
  • Repairs damaged intestinal walls (due to high glutamine content)
  • Eliminates constipation of the large intestine (due to high fibre content)
  • Boosts the immune system (potent source of vitamine C)
  • Reduces osteoporosis, in conjunction with a diet rich in calcium and Vitamin D (potent source of Vitamin K)
  • Reduces degenerative diseases like Alzheimers (potent source of anti-oxidants)
  • High source of vitamin A (for healthy eyes)
  • High dose of iron (to reduce anemia)
All other less effective - and let’s face it, less pretty - foods are essentially fighting for second place to the mighty red cabbage.
Incidentally, second place - based upon the same health recovery process is:
Red apple.
But that’s a story for another time."

Becoming great at programming!

   " Machine language - The best way to learn programming is to first learn how computers work from the inside out. The best programmers understand how their hardware platforms work. There are tons of microprocessor trainers available on Ebay for little money - mostly ones from the 80s, and some much newer - that can be used to learn how to program a microprocessor in machine language, the very lowest level of code that all computing devices use. Every program ever written in any language eventually ends up as machine code executing on a CPU, machine language is everywhere - it’s just that most programmers never even think about it. Master machine language and you become the master of the machine!

  • Assembly language - We’ve all heard of it, but it remains a mystery to most programmers. Just one level up from Machine language all Assembly language does is to create human-friendly “mnemonics” for each Machine language instruction. Add in macros, subroutines, variable definitions, and other features that an assembler (the assembly language equivalent to a compiler) understands, and you’ve got a language that can still do everything that Machine language can, but allows you to be far more productive.
  • C - The nearly 50 year old language that influenced the design of most of the modern programming languages we have today. C is not a “high level” language like Java or C#, but is much higher level than Assembly language and therefore easier to code in. C allows you to do most everything that you can do in Assembly language, but not all (but there are work-arounds for those). For extremely high performance code or code that has to be able to directly access hardware C is the #1 choice for the majority of programmers. Learn C, and you will be able to move on to learning most other languages easier than you would have had you learned them as your first language. C has all of the basic concepts of programming built into it’s relatively small set of keywords, and with C anything that you would want to do on a computing device can be done - maybe with more work than in other languages, but it can be done. Most other high level languages have restrictions that keep them from being able to do anything that the hardware platform supports, but are still great for most things - C has no such limitations."
