Guess its a Cheating Thing

MICI
I present a staple of the Romanian community, Mici! These are essentially grilled meatballs made of beef and pork, seasoned with secret ingredients. I say secret, because I don't actually know what is in them.
yes sad to say, I did not make them. These were brought into being by my mother who is a pro in Romanian cooking, which is only to be expected. One day I will attempt to make these myself and at that point I will then post a recipe,as is fit. But for now, a teaser if you will.

Blood Something or Other

This here, I did make...pour. Its blood orange italian soda from safeway which depending on the season can be very hard to find. The fact remains that blood orange juice is impossible to find here. In Europe it is widely available, as are many other "crazy" fruit juices. Ah~ I miss the isles of REAL and Carrefour which had massive juice selections. This insufficiency must stem from the US's propensity to drink "pop", also known as carbonated death. Oh, and by the way, that is whip cream on top, which I did indeed dispense from the can myself. I promise real cooking to come ^_~....for real this time.
