Potluck in France

So...we were under the (wrong) impression that absolutely everything here is closed on Sundays so we spent the majority of the day in our tiny apartment. Look, we weren't completely mistaken as most stores were closed, and besides, the dreary weather didn't exactly encourage us to venture outside. The day was not wasted, however, as we took the opportunity to Skype with family back home. In the typical Amra and Azra fashion, we could not resist the French B's (we mean books, Denny). Bile smo ubjedene da su sve prodavnice zatvorene u nedjelju a i vrijeme nas nije privlacilo da izademo, tako da smo vecinu dana  provele u nasem malom stanu. Iskoristile smo ovo priliku da razgovaramo sa tatom i Enom i da vjezbamo francuski. Ma netrebamo svaki dan hodati i trositi pare.

The Nerds

Because all the international students were invited to a potluck dinner, we decided to prepare a dish we are known for back home, crêpes. The challenges of cooking in a different environment that lacks the familiar tools caused tempers to flare "Hell's Kitchen" style, which must have been quite comical to watch. Luckily, Mom's cluinary experience saved the day and calmed some nerves so that we were able to create the masterpiece pictured below. Studenti iz naseg programa su organizovali veceru na americki nacin (svak donese ponesto). Mi smo napravile palacinke. Na pocetku nam je bilo tesko, nismo imale nasu tavu, sporet je drugaciji, itd. Mama nas je spasila sa svojim kuharskim iskustvom. Palacinke su bile izvrsne, pogledajte sliku.

Masterpiece

 The potluck was a success. There are a great deal of talented cooks in our group as everything tasted delicious. The night ended with a chocolate fondue and fruit. The fondue was a messy business, few people escaped stain-free.  Hrana je bila ukusna i bilo nam je lijepo.
