Easter- second onset

[noadvertising]

Had a wonderful Romanian Easter with son and daughter-in-law-to-be. The only problem was the city marathon, because we forgot about it and hubby lent son number four his car and told him he´d get it at midday, because he needed it in the afternoon to get to work. Son number four works in a retirement home, performing community service instead of military service. The marathon unfortunately went past the retirement home, and the street was closed. No one in, no one out. Son talked with the nice doctor, and the two found a solution: I parked my car in a side road near the home, hubby jogged to the home´s parking lot, doctor gave him her badge "physician on duty", hubby took flight with it on the windscreen, drove the car to the street where I was waiting, parked it, returned the badge, and off we went. Took us one hour to get to the flat, for a route that usually takes 20 minutes. And then came the traditional Easter meal, means we were eating for five hours straight; son and daughter-in-law must have spent the last days in the kitchen to prepare what´s called a traditional Romanian order of courses: finely chopped vegetables, vanata, cascaval, chicken liver pie, sarmale, ciorba, roast lamb and pig, rhubarb cake and papanasi. It was wonderful, even Oscar behaved for once and had his fill of all the goodies, and then came the tuica as an aid to digestion, and I had to refuse because I had to drive home, which I did after five hours of feasting. At home I found this on my FB, and I wanted to share because it´s so funny! Fortunately I for once did not have a snack in front of my PC because of reasons given above, for then I´d have to clean my keyboard!

The Romanian Easter celebration sounds wonderful.

The map is fascinating - although I think it might work best with one or another American accents than with my rather northern Engand type accent.

I think it might work well with NZ accent, too. That one sounds like a mixture between English and seal. I know that sounds cheap, but never before I had to use the phrase "Say again?" that often!
