Go here for it: http://adisney.go.com/disneypictures/narnia/Turkishrecipe.pdf<BR/><BR/>The map guy tried the recipe once. It was pretty good. But the stuff we got from a grocery store was better.<BR/><BR/>That is very interesting that it was called narnia. I wonder why.<BR/> I sure hope I can go to Italy someday. But if I ever do go to Europe I will have such a large itinterary that I probably won't be able to spend nearly enough time there.Riahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06384657033530822368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17141570.post-1140203529483756672006-02-17T11:12:00.000-08:002006-02-17T11:12:00.000-08:00Oy.

The Vatican, the food, the ancient things, the wine, the churches, the food, stuff in Latin, the Egyptian obelisks with crosses stuck on top like iron hats to keep them quiet (I read that in Chesterton!)... and did I mention the food?<BR/><BR/>You may not believe it, but there is a curious little place there, on a river about 50 miles north of Roma. It's called something different now, but long ago it was called... (drum roll) <BR/><BR/>Narnia.<BR/><BR/>Yes, for real. Sorry but I do not know if C. S. Lewis ever went there. <BR/><BR/>But of course if you have a <I>wardrobe</I>, you might be able to save a lot of plane fare... (hee hee) Just don't eat any Turkish Taffy while you're there. Speaking of which - I just saw some today - the Italian/Greek food place has some! And guess what: it was made in TURKEY!Dr. Thursdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04666301445831509481noreply@blogger.com
