Happy New Year!
Wow -- this looks and sounds delicious!
Twenty years ago we had a high school student from Belgrade for a year. I ask one of my patients what was the most common meal that our student might miss while in Florida. He told me sarma and he described it, but he didn't know how it was made. My wife could make stuffed cabbage roles but I wanted something more true to sarma. It took a few months to get a recipe (one for sarma and one for galumpkis). They were less sweet then wife's. I made them. The student didn't know what it was until it was in his mouth. He almost cried with joy. And most of all, he couldn't believe that a man made them. Every one in our house cooks. I used to be the main cook for our church.
Yours is a most excellent blog, RO. Thanks for a cool time learning about Brasov and Romania. Love these pics of food and food prep. Great stuff.
All the best in 2008 for you and your loved ones: Joy, Love, Prosperity.

Happy New Year! Nice selection of interesting looking food.
Very delicious. Love this dish.
We have it in Bosnia too. We call it sarma and eat it only with sour cream.
Happy New Year!
