End of Semester Flood Celebration with Asure Noah's Pudding

After 40 days and 40 nights of rain, the rains stopped. Noah's Flood receded. Many people want  to believe the remains of Noah's ark are located on Mt. Ararat, located in Eastern Turkey. Tradition says, after the flood, there was very little remaining food to eat. Everyone was asked to bring whatever they had. Noah's pudding was made from a  little bit of this and a little bit of that.

This story reminded us of the more than 40 days and 40 nights we have felt rained upon and flooded with homework and assignments. The semester finally ended, and the academic demands receded. Mehmet's lovely wife (I know she's lovely, we met her), and his mother-in-law prepared a traditional Noah's Pudding for our class celebration.

Each student in Dr. Gullion's Qualitative Methods course brought a potluck dish to share. Let's just say, Mehmet was the star of the show. Thank you, Mehmet! Not only did he bring Noah's Pudding, he brought rice-stuffed peppers. The bright red, orange and yellow peppers made it an attractive dish. After the party, there were 4 leftovers. My husband ate all of them ;)

If you would like to prepare a classic Turkish dessert, try Noah's Pudding. It's traditionally shared in January. It is almost January, so let's get started.
