Lucas enjoys this popular national dish called lahmacun. I think he actually ate more than Ted did! It is like a thin pizza but is topped with minced beef and lamb. Last night we were invited to have dinner with our new national friends. We knew that we were in for an interesting evening because last time we did not get home until one in the morning! I went there hoping that our boys would eat whatever was put before them. I was happy that to see that we were having lahmacun. I probably should have been more worried about how I would do! I bravely agreed to try a popular national drink that is basically just plain yogurt mixed with water. I was served a large glass but I could not bring myself to drink more than one sip. I can do many things I do not like to do without trouble, but for some reason eating/drinking things I don't care for is VERY difficult for me. Ask my mother about hours spent at the table trying to eat the little bit of broccoli that was set before me. This was going to be a challenge. I sat there thinking that I needed to drink more so as not to offend. Then Lucas came to the rescue. He asked for a sip and loved it. He ended up drinking a good portion for me. Though Lucas has not adjusted to staying up so late he has acquired a liking for the national foods.

It looks like Lucas is adjusting well! I'm sure that eatting new things is not on the top of your list of fun things to do right now!
Lucas has good taste...man I skipped lunch and dinner tonight and that sure sounds good.
I love the little updates. I set it up as a feed so I check daily to get the latest updates.
I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their new country. Can't wait to visit.
It's so nice to read about the latest in your lives. The boys look so big!
I'm not one to try new foods either so I feel your pain!
