Nope, I haven't misspelled our new president's name. I'm participating in blogger Muse-swings' Inaugural Celebration Events. Each participant is to post something in relation to the US Presidential Inauguration. For a special Serbian something, I consulted my friend Radovan, who accompanied my husband and me on our trip to Greece last summer. When I asked him what I could offer the President and his wife, he replied with a twinkle in his eye, "Burek oboma," which in Serbian means "burek for both of them." I can't think of anything more fitting for Barack Obama and the First Lady!On this photo you can see Radovan with a plate of the crunchy-outside-but-filled-with-soft-white-cheese-inside burek, which many Serbs eat for breakfast or else late at night...sort of like the French used to do with onion soup at Les Halles. Burek is usually eaten with the fingers or nibbled on in the paper it's wrapped in, but for President Obama, I got out my nicer china and my grandmother's silver!
