However, my sister in law only ordered a vegetable peeler but I went all out and bought a nice Tiffany neck thing for her ingrate son and he hasn't worn it to date. Don't get me going on the hockey jerseys (2 of them) and the CCM ice skates he asked for. We bought them for a VERY pretty penny in Prague when we were there and they too are sitting in a box in the back of the "sifonir". Anyway... I'd like to treat them to some nice dishes that we create here and was wondering if you can cilantro over there. I don't imagine so, unless I travel to Sombor (from Novi Sad) and find your cilantro growing there (from the stashed cilantro seeds). <br /><br />One nice story to relate is one from our Macedonian friend whose spoiled daughter (now living in Canada and who has taken on a goth/punk lifestyle) asked him to pack her fake ammunition belts in his suitcase and bring it with HIM because she was returning earlier. He did AND he didn't make his flight. He heard the airport authorities paging him but refused to respond. Of course they'd found the ammo belts and he didn't make the flight. He had to stay behind to prove they didn't belong to him and that he wasn't up to anything clandestine.Mary Stojanovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07922067844277767630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583964906309382179.post-66106655601079958102011-05-26T08:46:56.430+02:002011-05-26T08:46:56.430+02:00Oh this is so accurate.

Last time we had company from "back home", his cousins ordered some Victoria's Secret to our home, for his mother to tote back to them in her luggage!

( I pack light so I could fit all of my clothes in 1 bag. ) Her small bag was over the 22kg limit, so I looked into it to see what if anything I could remove. I opened the bag and to my surprise was a 10kg bag of cat food. "But it's for my sister to feed the neighbourhood strays", she cried empathically. I dumped the cat food and promised her I would buy some in Serbia for $3, instead of my paying $75 for an overweight bag.Gordonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583964906309382179.post-22749440606545745982011-02-18T07:17:06.322+01:002011-02-18T07:17:06.322+01:00Rosemary you got to keep us updated more often.

This stuff added only about 3 kilos, but was a real pain to pack. For my trouble I was given several liters of local olive oil, but never again!tinicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12066390957935520495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583964906309382179.post-56115540589241217492011-02-15T18:27:55.548+01:002011-02-15T18:27:55.548+01:00I think the word I'm looking for is "jao&...I think the word I'm looking for is "jao". I was horrified to see your post. Our nephew is being born when we get there, and we didn't get our tickets before the airlines' change. There's just no way we can make it with 1 bag each. No way. We're going in March - I guess I'll be the other raggedy looking American who has worn the same exact outfit for 30 days and counting!Mary Lnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583964906309382179.post-1615137011387970262011-02-15T04:29:04.196+01:002011-02-15T04:29:04.196+01:00Rosemary, you are too funny.I enjoy
