Vinettou is back with a vengeance, this time with his superhero S.O., Vinetta. I feel like having an eggplant salad, especially since the two eggplants I bought a while back have started to turn bad in my fridge, so I decided to investigate easy recipes.

Dupa cum poti vedea in menu-ul de sus, acest blog are un link care apasat, produce un salt la un articol mai vechi sau mai nou, la nimereala. Desi nu-i nici un secret, m-am gandit ca poate mai multi doresc sa stie cum se face asta.

One of the best known Romanian folk stories is that of "Human Stupidity", as told by a Romanian bard from Moldova, Ion Creanga – famous for his “Recollections from Childhood”. I haven't found an English translation online, so I decided to translate it myself with the help of Google.

Stirile despre Romania din presa straina abunda, cand ochiul antrenat le cauta. Sa discutam povestea unui roman ajuns in Canada intr-un container din Italia.

One of my favourite recipes from childhood was 'mazare cu carne' or green peas with some kind of meat, usually veal. As I (re)discovered two bags of frozen green peas in my freezer, I figured it's time to either revisit those or try something new.

I pity the politicians who want to do something good. They can’t clickbait their laws. For instance, the measure to tax sugary stuff can and should be called an anti-aging tax or, in Romanian, “contributia pentru o tinerete fara batranete si-o veatza fara de moarte”.

Taman cand incepusem spornic sa-mi pun in aplicare diabolicul plan de a-mi reduce participarea in blogo.ro-oaie, Mircea Popescu ma intarata si atata din sfarcuri catre o dezbatere pe tema schimbarii climatice globale, sau, cum ii spune el, incalzirea globala.

I am EXTATIC!!!! N-am auzit de ea inainte sa fi castigat premiul Nobel, cum n-auzisem nici de francezul care a castigat in 2008, dar cu cat citesc mai mult, cu atat ma excit mai tare! E musai s-mpartasesc ce aflu cu cei 2-3 oameni care ma citesc, poate iau si eu un Hertzer sau un BlogIdol. Voi incepe sa scriu acest ghid prin a face mai mult spatiu sub birou.

There are two subjects that seem to dominate the Romanian public sphere (I would say blogo.ro-oaie, but that's defunct): the religion choice in schools and the New York Times Op-Ed on corruption in Romania. I’m very tempted to make a nice hot stew out of both, but I’ll try to keep each to its own article.

Incepusem sa vorbesc in primul articol despre cum vaz eu lucrurile si-n special conjectura l3st. Ici-sha trecem din planul ideatic in parcarea din spatele blocului si cercetam ce e de facut.

After #yeslavot let’s see who won and why..

A former CNSS (Sf Sava National College / High School) classmate sent me a link to an article about Horia Constantinescu (curi-interlop), asking me if I remember this guy being in our class. In Romanian, “interlop” is used to mean shady/criminal while in English it means “unwanted, persona non grata”.

O poveste des primita prin email se refera la munca patriotica de deszapezire pe care toti cei cu casa sau business stradal trebuie s-o depuna cand ninge. Ceea ce, in Canada, se-ntampla destul de des.

Am mentionat in articolele precedente sarbatori religioase ale altor credinte cat si cele ale crestinatatii ortodoxe. Desi am incercat sa citesc carti despre istoria religiilor, continui sa stiu putine despre majoritatea celor din afara crestinatatii. Aici incep sa aflu.

Un interviu de-al lui Patapievici cu Porumboiu mi-a trezit acest articol din amintirea ancestrala. Ma aplec si eu cu aplomb si lipsa de respect asupra "revolutiei" sau ce-o fi fost. Chiar, ce-o fi fost?

Primesc in continuu aceleasi comentarii tampite la clipurile mele iutub. Unele insa sunt vesele. Dar inainte de a le impartasi, este necesar sa povestesc despre Garage Sales, eBay si junk.

There was a time when I considered myself vegetarian. It was easy, a very close friend was cooking while I was buying our food. These days I cook my own food and since my time is limited, I gravitate toward simple recipes. With that in mind, there's been a long time since I haven't presented a recipe here, so I'll be telling you about my favorite winter soup (which is more like a borsht), the lentil soup. And since it’s been a while since I wrote in Romanian, I’ll do it again, but you can find the English version below, in Sources.

Azi dimineata m-am trezit, ca de obicei, pe la 5. Dar fiind duminica, n-am tasnit imediat din pat, ci-am mai stat o vreme, gandindu-ma la saptamana ce-a trecut, facand planuri de viitor, trecand in revista realizarile si nerealzarile si jucandu-ma cu cocoselul.

Fiind vara, m-am gandit sa fac o supa / ciorba / bors rece. Stiu de fapt o singura reteta, invatata in timpul unei calatorii in Lituania. Am gatit lichidul cu o lituanianca (la ea acasa), o estonoasa si-un elvetzoi. A fost un fel de double date.
