Spilled food, Sweet Students, & Sharski

Last night we hung out with some other people and Joanna made a rockin fruit salad (Thanks to Pam for the recipe!).  Well, one of the girls (we won't mention names but scout's honor: wasn't me) decided to set her plate on the top of the couch.  Well, all of a sudden I hear a big commotion of squeals and Matt giving her grief because her fruit salad plate and muffin had fallen behind the couch.  Much to her dismay, I took a picture.  It was just such a perfect SPLAT on the floor/wall.  Hilarious! 
We had our first camp meeting today with the high school students.  I was able to see some students from last year, but also saw many new faces.  After the meeting, we went for coffee with a few of them and it was a good time!  


Ok now Sharski.  Today Joanna and I went to a local restaurant here for dinner.  It's funny--- all the tables had a reserved sign on them, but they said we could sit anywhere.  They kept changing the lighting about every 5 minutes, darker, lighter, blue lights, yellow lights.  They had wine bottles and wine glasses on every table with candles.  A very romantic setting for Joanna and I. hahaha except for the constant inhalation of people's nasty secondhand smoke.  I am still not used to that.  bleh.  So I decided to get shoppe salat (of course) which is a salad of chopped cucumber, tomato, sometimes onions or green peppers called speca (spay-tza), and cheese, and I tried broccoli soup.  Well Jo decided to be adventurous and order sharski, a traditional food eaten in a different part of Kosovo.  "You know, it's in mountains, and it has those things [insert bizarre hand motion here].  They have too many of them."  Well, it was some kind of meat stuffed with cheese and another type of dried meat.  Basically, it was nasty.  I tried it and the taste was just funky.  She hardly ate any of it.  

The kicker: WE THINK IT WAS A TYPE OF DOG.  OH MY GOSH I HAVE EATEN DOG.  SICK!!!!!!

This looks amazing and I hope that you did not eat something that we typically would walk, play and pet over here in the states.

Never a dull moment with you girls!
