Hello again after a long break..
I will try to explain our feelings during Ramadan dinners. You remember the table from my previous post. Such delicious food were on the table ;)
During Ramadan, since we are not eating or drinking throughout the day, everyone is excited about the sun set and the dinner.
Again, our beloved moms are on duty! For my mom, Ramadan dinner table is a very serious business. She wants everything to be perfect. She is a lot happier when we are (her daughters)helping her. But in most of the cases, we were at the school or sleeping which means waiting to sunset. My mom is retired 3 years ago. I always remember her preparing the most beautiful food for the Ramadan dinner table. I still can't believe how she could manage both working outside the home and being a full time mom at the same time.
In most of the houses in Turkey, family gathers together for the dinner. More importantly, you have guests in the Ramadan for dinner. It is very important to share your food with your friends and neighbors. That shows the spirit of Ramadan.
So, as you can see from the previously posted picture, dinner table, there are more than 4 different types of food on the table. Here are the possible combination of food that will be on the Ramadan dinner table: (especially if you are expecting guests for the night all of them are possible.) Salad, two types of zeytinyagli (vegetarian style dishes such as stuffed grape leaves), soup, borek (stuffed fillo), main dish (probably something with meat or chicken) and dessert (might be baklava or pudding or something else) Doesn't that sound delicious?

You updated the page! yeeeyy:) It was almost time for the next Ramadan! Just kidding:)) I would really like to see also somethings on the 'Ashura' culture in Turkey on your page. And maybe about Turkish breakfast too. Foreigners are most of the time surprized that we eat French fries, cucumber at breakfast and even sometimes drink soup!
