The first big concert from the Bulgarian music idol was not bad. I think Rusina and Boyan did the best job of all. I especially liked Boyan for his performance. On the other hand the hosts, the drama around the abuse and the two roma guys is a bit too much for my linking. All in all was a good concert though.

Because the weather is starting to worm up, I decided to store the rest of my sauerkraut. The easiest way, of course, is to freeze it and that is what I did. I left 40-50 whole leaves for stuffed cabbage, and the rest (from 8 whole cabbage heads) prepared directly for cooking.

I also left 2 heads outside to see how well it stays good so I know next year.

I hope it is still good after thawing it, but I don’t think there will be problems by freezing it.

Since I got a bread machine I’ve been experimenting with this bulgarian sweet bread that everyone I know loves. I tries a few recipes and decorations. I’ve never twisted? this bread before and since now didn’t realize that one thread disappears visually.

3 threads, 4 threads and 4 threads baked

4 threads, 4 threads baked in the bread maker

Of course, I’ve made bread in the machine as well.

Yesterday I went to play badminton. I’ve never played before by the rules (and didn’t know them). All in all was quite a bit of running around.
The bad part was it is not in Stamford and it is $15 bucks per person for 2 hours of play, which I think is not cheap.

According to the Orthodox calendar, today is the day of St. Hrisant and Daria, thus our sweet Dary has a so called name day. We wish her good luck and all the best (hug).

BTW According to other sources Darina also has a name day on Todor’s name day, and I’ve heard on Christmas as well?…

Good luck Dari
