There was a triathlon that day and we were taking a taxi to get to Condon. The taxi driver took a crazy complicated nauseating detour though the non touristy part of Alanya. It was not very clean and it had small streets with sharp turns. After about ten minutes of that the taxi driver stopped and told us that it would be easier if we just walked from there. It wasn't a long walk and we got to see the triathletes run through the caution taped streets, sometimes there was a motorcycle with a camera man close behind, filming. When we got to the Kaptan hotel, owned by Condon and her husband, it turned out that Condon was not waiting in the lobby for us but outside at the hotel's restaurant across the street. The restaurant had an amazing view of the ocean and the harbor, our beach's pier was a tiny dot way off in the distance.
We sat there and and had two of the restaurant's specials, delicious meat and vegetable filled rolls. They were very good especially because is hadn't had anything to eat in a while. Their second special was (drum roll) a chocolate soufflé.
I could have had a million of those no matter how rich they were. They also gave us little cups of cream, vanilla sauce, chocolate sauce, and pounded sugar. What I did was sprinkle "a little" powdered sugar on, then break the top open and watch it all fall into the creamy filling, then pour "some" vanilla sauce in and mix it around, you can't beat it. After that we headed inside to get covered from the rain rain that was starting to come down. My mom had some coffee along with Condon. After that Condon drove us home and showed us some tennis courts that we might want to try out. When we got home I immediately flopped down on the couch. It was hard knowing that in two hours I would be going to a birthday party but for now I just wanted to rest after a long day.
That soufflé looks simply amazing….my mouth is drooling!
