I'm exhausted! It took me 10 days to cook all the food, decorate, and organise everything else - lighting, heating, serving...Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures along the process. I thought I'll set the table and then take pictures....BIG MISTAKE! I didn't have time to do that,so - NO pictures :-(Zabava je bila otkazana, pa ponovo zakazana 2 sedmice kasnije. 10 dana mi je trebalo da sve organizujem i skuham sta sam planirala. Posteno sam se umorila. Slikala usput nisam; mislila sam slikati kad...
Chick Pea Rhogan Josh
I'm very busy organising 50-th Birthday party for my husband these days; cooking a lot. Many of my dishes will be served thanks to you, my friends. Next week I will show you what I prepared, and what I 'adopted' from your blogs.A couple of years ago, I tried to introduce a meatless day every week to my family. My boys weren't delighted; exceptions were nights when we would have chick pea Rhogan Josh. It is very filling and tasty vegetarian dish. For those who can't find readily prepared Roghan...
'Tzigerosarma' (Faggots of Balkan)
'Tzigerosarma' is very similar to English Faggot recipeI made this speciality dish first time during my visit to Bosnia last month. I'm not a big fan of offal, but I wanted at least to give it a try. We had spit (lamb) roast for Easter, and I wanted to use offal and try this Turkish/Greek recipe(although other surrounding countries make it in a similar way). It's best to use organs of a young animal. I knew basic ingredients, followed my instinct for the rest of them and ended being delighted by...
Bosnian Pita with Nettle Leaves ..or, Spring in My Birth Town
For years and years I was dreaming about visiting to my birth town in spring. I wanted to see all my backyard (fruit)trees in full bloom. A lot of beautiful memories from this garden I carry with me; climbing trees pretending to be all sorts of super heroes from that time, running barefoot through deep snow every night in winter time to 'wash our feet' as my father would suggest, having street children for fruit harvest in autumn...And there I was, with my open hart, breathing in every little scent...

Barcelona
It was evening when I arrived in Barcelona. After a quick shower, my son and me decided to go out for our first walk. We managed to find street which leads to famous 'La Rambla' - pedestrian street lined with trees on both sides. A lot of people were outside, young and old, walking and enjoying a warm spring evening. We stopped at a Tapas bar, sat outside and had our dinner. Wine was divine; tapas tasty. My son had his first authentic Paella.Next few days we had to plan very carefully, as I wanted...
