Croatia – food and going out

Filed under Liz's Blog

One of the nice things about going to different countries is trying different food. We had some lovely meals out when we were there. The Croatians eat lots of fresh fish alongside pasta and pizzas. Pejro, above, is eating something I’ve never seen in this country, but have had when I was there. It’s black risotto, made from the ink of a squid, I believe. It is delicious, but I didn’t have any on this visit, because on the 2 opportunities I had to order it, I couldn’t clean my teeth afterwards and I didn’t think I wanted to talk to people with black teeth!

The only worry Sandy and I had about our girls on the course was to do with food. They just weren’t eating enough fruit and vegetables. Maybe we are brainwashed in the UK over this ‘5 a day’ idea. For breakfast the girls were often having cakes, crisps and even sweets!!! Is that your dream of a meal? They assured me the sweets were healthy as they were fruit ones and the strawberry ones contained 0.04% of strawberry. Must be really healthy then.

    0.04% of a strawberry is alot for strawberry sweets. I’m quite impressed. But it’s hardly my idea of a dream breakfast. But that’s my personal opinion. I know a boy who is often known to eat 2 packets of Haribo for breakfast. The big ones. Though it does make him very hyper.

    Hello!

    Sorry I haven’t been on here for a while! I have been so busy that I keep forgetting.

    I have just practised my flute for 2 hours straight, and I am exhausted!

    A few weeks ago I renewed my Flutewise membership – and I haven’t posted since to say thank you for the gift – Project Flutewise Bk 3. I already had book 2, and found it really useful, and its great to have some more new music! I really like the Gates piece – its really cool!

    I have managed to recruit another flutey pal into Flutewise – Catrin Price. We are both in Three Counties Orchestra, where I told everyone about Flutewise, and she wanted to join! Hopefully we are going to come to the next Abbotsholme, or a Brighton course next year.
