"Xenial" means "hospitable, especially to visiting strangers or foreigners." The other day I visited my friend, Olja (OHL-ya), who had traveled with me to India last December. Like all Serbs, she's definitely hospitable, or xenial. For my visit she'd prepared Serbian plum dumplings, which I hadn't eaten for a long time.I think I'll pay Olja another visit soon....
See what other bloggers have done with the letter X at ABC WEDNESDAY.

Ummm, Yummm those look so good. I think I would be visiting your friend again too.
Great word for X.
A wonderful entry of yours, which changed mood. People rarely are able to do that. Thank you very much. A great Wednesday for you.

It looks soo good!
These were my grandmother's favorites (she made them with potato dough) and it was always a whole day production. Xtra special!
What a lovely picture with "prave sljive" and the yummy dish. Thank you Olja and "Bibi".

Those plum dumplings look "plum delicious"!
«Louis» imagines they would be great served warm with vanilla ice cream and a nice espresso...
I'm with the rest of the ABC crew. Those plum dumplings are to die for.
I have an idea—let's ALL go visit Olja! Yum, and great choice for X.
Yum!!
I'm on a scooter trip around WA state this week, so not visiting many blogs. Posts are on auto-pilot.

Oh my gooodness, I love kndedle sa sljivama/kajsijama! I haven't had them in quite a long time; I think it's time to give Mom a call :-)

«Louis» neglected to mention that he likes your new masthead photo.

'Xenial', that means 'hospitable'. Thank you for sharing!

So wonderful to have such a great friend to bake for you. Those look good enough to eat, several.
Really like your new header!
I am loving the new header photo .. and this photo of those delectable looking pastries ... the composition with the 3 plums on the thingie behind .. awesome!!!!!!!!
What a great X word. I'll be using this word more often here.
Were the dumplings as good as they looked?
If this is what "xenial" ends up as being, I'm going to have to stay away...I don't think I could resist such goodies! And I'm "waisted" enough!
Can I come too!!!
It looks like a lot of baking is going on in the ABC world today. Lovely and yummy post.
My mother used to make these! I love them. You have reminded me to make some myself!
Liliana

I love how well the textures came out.
Very sweet, ultra sinful ;-P
