Lost in Translation: How Dishes Evolve

[rascal]

Growing up, cooking was pretty much nonstop for my mom, starting at around 5:30AM and serving the last meal around 6PM, though she'd frequently make a pie or cake after that.

One person cooking for 8-10 people, I'd watch her just get the breakfast dishes washed, then not even break her stride to get the next meal going. Never stopped.

Same and how she had time to have a garden bigger than ours here, and fruit trees to make jams etc. I can remember going to sleep at night with the sound of her treadle sewing machine making pjs for half the neighbour hood. He'll I'm lazy compared to her.

Ah “Buona serata” yes, you are good! Thank you and buona serata to you too
The only word I know (and not very well) in your language is Chevapcici which I had when I have been to Croatia many years ago. I still remember them, how good.
For par condicio, how is have a nice evening in Croatian?

Thank you. Good morning! It was veey funny how I tried to get around Torino with my 10 words from the operas and music😂...I really do not speak Italian...just a few words, and when we missed the bus stop, I thought O ciel! I think it was from Aida or similar 😂😂

Čevapčići😂👍nice, although it is not a Croatian traditional dish, it is oriental, more Bosnian, Serbian, Turkish probably but many people love them and make them and oirder them...me too when I ate meat...especially the Bulgarian kebapcheta were delicious and double as long as the local ones...

Ugodnu večer is have a nice evening in Croatian🙂

The only time I have a full English is when staying at a/n hotel.

Otherwise it's just coffee or if I have time a Weetabix or something similar.

No milk or sugar in my coffee.

Dash of milk in my tea and I leave the tea bag in the cup, or if using my tea pig I leave that in.

This is so interesting to read. For coffee I have tried coconut cream, just scooped up after refrigerating, that was delicious.

Almond milk is very tasty too. I should not have milk in it, but the few drops are ok...cream is good...right now I am having a black coffee. No sugar. No desserts.

Sometimes vending machine mixtures have sugar, but if the rest of my diet is balanced, carb low, it is fine.

Tea...in Poland I took the 5 o' clock tea without sugar with some milk, it was fantastic. Many years ago.

Tea in general, I take it in all forms...had hectolitres of chamomille during a cold, like the green tea and peppermint leaves one, love the green with jasmine,fruit infusion teas are so cool and playful, rarely would I have black teas...but if longing for it, of course!

I love the whole tea ritual though, if I had the time, I would definitely want a beautiful teapot, tea cups, the delicious sandwiches, cakes, the socializing, all that...but...it is ok, when the time is right, it shall come.😁
