You have to check out the website for the handwritten recipe! It's a dish with chicken and peanuts. I will make a vegetarian option with quiabos (AKA okra)

Moldovan Cuisine

Forget about the fact I didn't know Moldova existed until two weeks ago, let's focus on the fact that it's cuisine has Greek influences...proving the point that everything does in fact, originate from the Greeks! I am making Placinte, which are Moldovan fried apple pies. See you all soon!

Chilean food

Thinking about making appetizer-size empanada (both carnivor and vegeterian).

See here for example.

With a good bottle of chilean wine... yum! ;-)
