The Secret Lives of Dried Apricots....

İ am here on the island of Buyukada at the moment. Hope all is well back home in Portland Maine..........wait a minute...I live in either Roanoke Va or Greensboro NC....hmmm....anyway other than amnesia no major setbacks here....İ found out that the dried apricots we get back home in the states actually include food coloring....A merchant at the Spice Market in İstanbul showed me what the apricots looked like when they come in from the eastern city of Malatya....They have a brown red coloring as opposed to the bright yellow ones that you would find at the Food Lion in Christiansburg Va! Gotta run...We have a mere three hours to get ready for dinner.....(They eat late here!)
