Might sound morbid but many of us use to go to the cemetery and decorate the cross and tomb of our dear ones with branches or crowns of fir tree and immortal flowers.
Also, for the dead's soul we offer food and drinks to the beggars( usually unashamed gypsies) in the cemetery.
Should Storm feel he's left out also if we turn the q to the new year celebration? Looks like we have to be politically correct....
No. I am the last person you need to be politically correct to.
nah, you better ask me for a Xmas meal if I'm ever in that vast land of yours :p:Quote:

Here's the main menu. Hope you like pork.

Now that's a fact I'm a lousy chef but if you come I'll organize something for you and your family in places where traditions are still well kept like Bucovina or Maramures. Storm jr. will definitely enjoy our -mostly pagan- traditions.

Let's continue with the usual trivial Q's. What are you wearing now? :p
I am always interested in food + I love pork :D
you are making me hungry now :s
wearing? shorts and a black t-shirt..
Do you have a jacket or cap or something like that which you wear very often?
I never wear caps. When it's very cold or it's snowing I wear the hood of my coat or jacket. When my jacket/coat doesn't have a hood I use a muffler or a shawl to cover my head. However last year I bought a woolen cap, just in case, but don't remember to ever wear it. Jacket? In the cold seasons I have to wear them every day but I don't have too many such items. Hate winter, hate cold, hate winter clothes......
Do you use to eat honey?
We call that a "toque" around here :p: , and yes, I wear one every day during the winter, mostly due to the, ah, lack of natural insulation :uhoh: .Quote:

Do you barbecue/grill outdoors much?
This was a q for 555..... He and his famous braai :p
Well, barbeques are a sort of national sport here. It's quite annoying.... It seems that the only reason people meet is to have a barbeque. I can't do such things at home as my yard is very small and anyway it would be of bad taste to make much smoke in the middle of the city. But we do when I visit my cousin in the country side. She has a barbeque built in her court.
Do you bake bread at home?
Yes, normally every Sunday when I wake up and have it ready for lunch.
Do you like watching old (60's) TV programmes?
No. In fact I don't have the patience to watch TV programmes at all.
Have you ever jumped with a parachute?
Yes - it seemed better than jumping without one :)
Would you like to hang-glide?
