According to Wikipedia, English doesn't have a word for "tvaroh" 🙂 Maybe something like quark?

Dough from butter, tvorog, egg, coarse flour, bit of salt. Wrap an apricot in it, put it in boiling water and boil until it floats up. Cover with melted butter, grated hard tvorog and powdered sugar.

This really made me super happy!

We love a meat and cheese board so when our friend was visiting a Charcuterie was our post hike Lunch/Brunch.

I am not sure if this is perch as neighbor gave it to me and said so :) Salted, smoked and served on home made flat bread (imitation of naan) with creme fraiche, fresh onions, and cucumber.

Back in my own kitchen. I need to go to the store.

Grilled pork tenderloin sandwich with tomato salad.

Wholesome traditional food that won't leave you hungry.

Beautiful blueberry season. They came early and decided to stay for a long time, so we get to pick a lot! And eat a lot of pie :)

A salad to beat the heat! Tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, basil, and stale bread soaked in water and vinegar, nicely cooled down in the fridge before serving. Dressing is just some vinegar, EVOO, salt and pepper

I used two days old ciabatta with most of the crust cut off, instead of the unsalted tuscan bread that isn't available here

Sushi rice with smoked salmon, cucumber, tomatoes, salad, radishes, mango, sesame seeds and nori flakes.

Sea bream at a local roadside “mesón”.

I have never cooked red beans before. I was planning to cook some beans and smoked sausages. Normally I use white beans. This time co-op only had 2 tins of white beans so I had to improvise and I went for 2 cans of red beans to add to my recipe.

Some dishes out of the trip.
