David planned a BBQ for the church's young adults last Saturday. He made hamburger patties, and I made pasta salad and brownies, two new foods for Albanians. The recipe used Nutella, and was amazing. They ate the entire pan. (I heard later that some of the guys ate so much food that they were sick.)
We loaded up the church's two vans and drove out to a wooded headland. Very beautiful.

Only in Albania... playing volleyball as a shepherd drives his flock of sheep home for the evening, bells jangling around their necks.

ReplyDeletethey had peanut butter in Germany...but they always called it by its name in English, and you would find it in the same aisle as the chocolate chip cookies. hah.

well, okay, Holly, they DO sell pb, but a tiny jar is so expensive that most Albanians have never tried it. :)
ReplyDeleteNutella is a deliciously addictive chocolate hazelnut spread. You can buy it in America, too. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, that picnic looks loverly. The wooded area reminds me of Lake Pittsfield... without the sheep.
