We are having some really funny weather in Sarajevo. It has been snowing
nearly non-stop and the city is almost completely paralyzed. Of course, the people
are loving it - many were out today (literally) playing in the snow. Traffic has stopped, the air is cleaner, and everything is more quiet and peaceful.
I really love that about snow, the absence of sounds outside while it falls down - as if the time itself stops.
Sadly, I have not been cooking at all in the past week due to a cold I have been battling. This morning I gathered the strength to go in and prepare a hearty breakfast for us: yummy vanilla pancakes served with bananas and corn syrup; veggie sandwiches with American cheese, cherry tomatoes, arugula, pepper, cream cheese, and red onion, squeezed inside a halved baguette; oatmeal, my way: Greek yoghurt + Bosnian yoghurt, cinnamon, raisins, raw sunflower seeds, cranberries, and plain oatmeal; and finally, a vitamin C rich fruit salad with red and white grapefruit, kumquat, lime, oranges, and pomegranate.
Plus milk and/or hot summer savory tea.

I love these types of rich and colorful breakfasts, replete with different aromas and tastes. They are fun to prepare, to serve and to eat - different smells and colors are truly pleasing to the senses.
And I think it all goes really well with the all-white weather outside.

With this cold it is very likely that I won't be able to enjoy the snow like most of the people, but with little to do around the house I hope I will spend more time in the kitchen and with my camera.
I missed it.
I missed it.
