Spring is slowly coming...it's warm, but few buds yet on the tree reflected in the window behind her.

One last stab
The town of Sirogojno (SEE-ro-goy-no) is famous for its fabulous sweaters. Unlike this man's, they're quite pricey, but just about everyone I know who lives here for a while has splurged on one, this writer included. Here's a link.

SUNDAY Bridges--The Serbian Minister of Defense...He Who Opens Bridges!
And what does this have to do with bridges, you might ask?
Last year Mr. Šutanovac opened a bridge in Mazarac, Serbia, and also one in Svilajnac, which you can read about here and here.
Check out more bridge posts at Louis La Vache's SUNDAY BRIDGES.

Chimney Cakes
Have you ever eaten chimney cakes? I've seen them being made at village fairs in northern Serbia near the Hungarian border and also last November in Prague. They're good... Sweet dough is wrapped around a wooden cylinder and then either baked or fried (baked here), then coated with your favorite topping...chocolate, hazelnut, walnut, cinnamon...or a combination of those.

ABC WEDNESDAY "I" is for "invitation"
Today is Yankee in Belgrade's fourth anniversary. Okay, here comes the cliché: "Seems like only yesterday..."
This blog post is an invitation for you to help yourself to these cupcakes from my former school's bake sale last spring. Go on--nothing gets stale in cyberspace.

ЏАБE СТЕ КРЕЧИЛИ
DŽABE STE KREČILI
I think the writer should spend or have spent a little more time in school....he/she has mixed up both alphabets. Most of the writing is in the Cyrillic alphabet, and the letter for the R should be a P.

"Face to Face"
P.S. The word 'lice' (face) in title of this magazine, if you look at its cover, is face-to-face. Liceulice could also be a play on words, i.e. "Face of the street" = "lice ulice."

Theme Day: Electricity--the building behind....
And are they keeping their lights on for someone to come home? Someone who'd have to climb up the side of the building?
