Now it is - Now it isn't.
Now you see it - Now you don't
Today's truths - Tomorrow's lies.
Got all round vision - You'll never see it coming.
Got all possibilities covered - Just not that one.

Datca is famous for its almonds and the locals make marvelous molasses from the carob fruit - Harnup pekmez - scientifically proven to contain many trace minerals.

I used Carob Pekmez in the place of malt, in fruit malt loaves. Its not bad, though not as good as real malt.
