SUNSET
A beautiful urban sunset over New Belgrade. The 'smoke' from the stacks on the left is actually just steam from the heating plant....

Oh, Bibi, my mouth is watering, too. I love this food and haven't had it for a long time. One question: recently I read the term "sour cabbage" and don't know what that is. Can you explain? Many thanks.
connais pas, mais cela semble bon
It's been a long, long time since I've had cabbage rolls.
Kate, sour cabbage is made here at home (on the porch!) by buying a large, plastic, non-corrosive barrel, and filling it with fresh heads of cabbage. Then water, along with salt, is added, and then it sits for a number of weeks, turning sour. It's what sauerkraut could be made out of and is here, too, but the whole leaves are used to wrap sarma.
I bet it was yummy!
Girl, send some my way! My aunt did make some this year for "Bozic" and they went fast.
Interesting. My grandmother would make the Armenian version of sarma with fresh early spring grape leaves. She also made an all rice version, but then it was called yalanchi. I liked mine with ketchup.
Ditto to William!!! My mom used to make stuffed cabbage rolls...loved them!!! I've made them, but only a few times...I lost my recipe!!!
