Ashura is a holiday celebrated annually in Turkey. It signifies many events for Muslims, among the most significant being the day Noah's Ark set on dry land. . In Turkey, a traditional dish is prepared during this month known as Noah’s pudding/ " Aşure " It is
meant to symbolize the celebratory meal Noah made when he came off the Ark. It is a sign of peace, of community and sign
of a bright future. (There is a religious fact too,but I won't get in to that in here,Cookpad ).

I used to be a runner. One day middle of the run, I had my feet numb up to my knee. It was sciatica from a car accident years ago. Then because having problems with my Achilles, I started using a cane. Now I changed my diet completely... no more sugar or process foods. My recent recipes are vegetarian, I do not eat meat anymore! Also no sugar, flour and very low carbohydrate meals .This is my journey now. Good luck on yours! 😄✌️
