Good stuff

My day today looked much like yesterday. Very relaxing. Just some house cleaning, translating, table tennis and dinner with friends at a café. Now Phil is off for work again (he often meets people at night for interviews) and I'm happy about having some more time with my beloved internet. We haven't installed a LAN to connect our two computers yet, so only one of us can use the internet. Recently I spent a lot of time browsing old friends on facebook. Seems like everyone is getting married right now.

Below I posted pictures of some traditional food that I love. The first is "Borsok" (hope I got it right), a starter consisting of fried little yummy things you dip in sour cream, and the second one is "Plov" a main course which could be described as rice stue with meat, carrots and lots of garlic. Those of you who have been at my farewell party in Berlin already know it, because I gave it a try at home (following the instruction of an online receipe). We discussed how much garlic I was really supposed to put in. The amount given in the receipe was quite high. So, dear friends, now you see I was right. It should have been a lot more... ;)

In this blog called "The Golden Road to Samarqand" you'll find a recipe for Kyrgyz Plov and also many posts about Central Asia and Kyrgyzstan.
