adrienne + curtis
Adrienne, my dear friend/ex-roommate/ex-colleague at Moschino for 4 years in Milan, came to visit us with her son, Curtis, last weekend!
We walked for hours around Belgrade, mostly here in Stari Grad (the Old City), and for the first time I was the one leading the way, showing our guests around, like a real local from Dorcol :)
Curtis and Maya got along great, playing with Legos and reading Barbapapa books in Italian, but I think they enjoyed the playground (it was about 2 degrees C outside that day), and eating sandwiches and cakes in a café most...
Aside from seeing a bit of the city (although 3 days is not enough time when you have kids in tow), Ad + Curt got to have some of the best Serbian food in the city, chez Dragana of course! Punjene paprike (stuffed peppers), Kiseli kupus (a sort of sauerkraut dish that i looooove), Cheese and spinach pies, Cabbage pie, Urnabez, Lepinja, Ajvar, Chocolate mousse cake, Apple cake... and I'm sure there was more that I'm not remembering right now. She really went out of her way and it was a delicious weekend for all of us.
Maya is already asking when they'll come again.

milano
It's great to be in Europe where you can get on a plane for 2 hours and land in a total different world! Aca and I took a spontaneous trip to Milan last week to see some old friends, eat some good gelato, take walks around my old second hometown...
....have a caffè macchiato caldo every morning at La Belle Aurore....simple, classic, great...
...eat some decent sushi at Poporoya, near my old place...it's been there forever. And of course I had to have one ethiopian dinner at good ol' Warsa, but pictures of ethiopian food never look very nice. Plus, I have to say, it was much better when they used to make the injera out of teff! (NEVER cut corners!!!)
And here are Aca and his new friend, Curtis, having fun on the kitchen floor while Adrienne and I made dinner.
This is a random shot, but i looooove the simple things you can get in italian supermarkets. FRESH ANCHOVIES! You can't even find them at the fancy fish monger at Grand Central Station, but here they are, as always, whenever you want them at the corner Esselunga :)
