holidays, serbian culture, orthodox, easter
What you say? Wasn't Easter last month? Well it was unless you are an Orthodox Christian. For them, Easter falls on April 27 this year. And they celebrate Easter with a wonderful tradition of brightly colored eggs. No Easter bunny, no garish green grass. These creations are drop dead gorgeous. To all my Serbian friends (they know who they are), I wish you a happy Easter!
Thanks to my buddy Alex for the pic!

holidays, food, pixtures
Thanksgiving.. make.. turkey quesadillas. There are just so many ways you can bundle up leftover turkey to be palatable a week after Thanksgiving has come and gone. I deboned the bird pretty much right away and since Robert is in the hospital right now, I froze most all of it and just kept out what I (and the cat) could eat for a few days. This is the last of the turkey.. I bought some homemade tortillas from the carniceria up the street, shredded the turkey, chopped some onion and tomato, inserted a slice of sharp cheddar cheese (monterrey jack would have been more authentic), microwaved them for 1.25 seconds, and topped with sour cream and salsa. Guacamole would be appropriate, too, but I didn't have any on hand. Still, not a bad lunch.
