Homemade Birthday (Cheese)Cake

Leonora greeted us upon our return from Italy with a gorgeous birthday cake for me. She is so talented at both the baking and the decorating! Yes, those are real flowers - and she used my flask shot glasses too. It was so special and she nailed the sour of the lemon and the strawberry jam just right.

Thank you so much, Leonora! I loved it! 

 

Petrovic Winery

Petrovic may advertize itself as a raki factory, but it's the food we come for. Look at all this spread! It was for nine people. And it tasted sooooo good.

 

Fortress Yard

All around the inside of the fortress from a central (ruined) tower. You can see beautiful landscape.

 

Half The Earth

Half the earth is done, and the outline is more than half done, too. 

 

Angles And Triangles

Working on this on holiday. I got quite a bit done, too.

 

Filling The Body

More of the fourth's body. He's looking tough.

 

Berries!

Fresh berries picked the day before - delivered to us to parcel out among the embassy community. They taste so good and even freeze well.
