THE SARMALE CHRONICLES














If you've ever asked us about "food in Romania," you've heard of sarmale (pronounced sar-MA-lee).... every European country has their version of the cabbage roll. This one is the RO version - divine! It is hands-down Emma's all-time favorite food on the planet and one of my tops. All of us like it and Adina and Lisa and Emma made a tremendous pot of "real Romanian sarmale." We also got a few cans of "the canned stuff" from them, but they will only be opened after every morsel of the real thing is long gone. Smoother it in "smantanta" (sour cream) and enjoy!

OVIDIU AND ADINA










We still can't believe they were really here - a whirlwind of a time, but they were here! How many times did someone say, "Can you believe it?" Oh, the hours and days we've spent with these two in Romania (in Susani, Timisoara, Surduc, Lugoj, Bucharest.....)and the times we've seen. They have "baby-sat" our dog Rudy for a week while we went on vacation (handed him to them from an almost-moving train window!) and loved us through tragedy.... we were blessed to have them.

THESE ARE A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS.....


Ovidiu and Adina brought us a few of our favorite things from Romania - while the Romanians ask for things from America, we can't wait to get things from there!
