Cooking update

 I haven't cooked a lot of new recipes lately. I've generally been feeling uninspired with my cooking, and I've figured out why: The only foods I've wanted to eat we're the ones I haven't had since I moved out of home. I miss Croatian cooking.

So I've decided to go back to my roots and learn some Croatian recipes. I'm starting out with the familiar as I miss my mother's cooking the most. I hope I'll be able to do some of her more complex recipes this winter. Last night I made a Crioatian mushroom soup for my in-laws and it proved very popular. This weekend I hope to make vanilla biscuits, rum balls, and an entreé that requires insane pastry skills. 

Wish me luck!
