I wanted to show some more of the delicious food that we ate while in Romania. My cousin, Larysa, has a fiancé and his name is Marius. He is an excellent chef. He specializes in all types of international cuisine.
We arrived in Romania late Monday night. On Tuesday night we ate dinner with Larysa at the restaurant that Marius and her both work at. This is what he made special for us.
I ate the spinach and sage stuffed chicken wrapped in bacon. It was so good. I can't remember exactly what the husband's meal was. It was sirloin. The meat was really good too. I loved the figs. Larysa had the chicken salad which looked really good.
Dessert: Tiramisu
This dessert was heaven. It was creamy, decadent and delicious. I felt so spoiled. Did you notice the crystallized sugar ball on top? It has toasted walnuts inside of it. And the blueberry sauce spread around the plate. Oh.my.goodness. This dessert was so good. We both became fans of tiramisu after eating that.
On our last day in Suceava before we had to return to Bucharest, we took Albina, Ionica, Vica and Razvan to dinner at the restaurant again. Marius surprised me with this awesome creation for dinner.
Doesn't it look amazing? The flower petals are thin potato slices, topped with 3 thin rolls of spinach and cheese {I think} stuffed chicken and sprinkled with cheese.
Awwww. Isn't she cute? This is Aurel's calf. {Aurel is my uncle in Romania}. He has a momma cow and a baby cow. Living in Straja, which is a farming village in Romania on the Ukranian border, the people live a simple life. They are all extremely self-sufficient. My uncle Aurel has a farm with a milking cow, a calf and chickens. He also has a large amount of land that he grows crops on. They have a beautiful garden right in front of their house with many different fruits and vegetables. They also have a horse and wagon which they use for work {like plowing fields or carrying heavy items} as well as transportation. Almost everything they eat is grown on their land. Life there is simple and peaceful.
