From Bulgaria, with love

Yesterday we were treated to a really nice, authentic Bulgarian dinner, made by Stela and Anna. They came to me a week ago and said they would like to make a Bulgarian dinner for A-lag. I thought it sounded like a great idea and it's nice to change up the menu so we arranged everything. The menu was a kind of potato lasagne with hamburger and a egg/white cheese sauce, a mixed salad of tomatoes, roasted red peppers, onions, feta cheese and a lemon juice/oil dressing, and dessert was "chocolate salami" made from crushed cookies, melted chocolate, cocoa and just a little splash of Tia Maria. It was quite good and they got lots of compliments!

Stela and Anna

Stela used to work in the kitchen so she knew her way around like a pro!

The chocolate salami looked a little strange whole, but it was quite good. I neglected to get a picture of it sliced. It looked cool. Another bulletin board clip. "In a perfect world..."

Today was a proper Monday and I was feeling pretty rough around the edges with a bad headache that I couldn't shake off so I left work early and got in a nap and am feeling a bit more like myself again. I'm sure tomorrow will be much better! I was talking with a girl at lunch today and I related hearing someone a few years ago tell about how we should be like a bottle of ketchup. No matter if you throw it up against the wall, drive over it, jump on it, say rude things to it, whatever, all that comes out is ketchup. It's something I'm really working on; that it's only goodness that comes from me no matter what is thrown my way and it's not a nasty surprise for the others when something unpleasant happens. Only goodness.
