5 – Read the ingredients from your website recipe of choice (you must use the internet, since you do not remember how to make it) and substitute them with any local products available to you. *I have found that subsituting the word «Dijon» with «fine» works quite well, and «romaine lettuce» with «green lettuce»
4- Assume any ingredient you can't find will not affect the taste THAT much.
3- If the ceasar salad dressing must sit over night, be sure to make the mix one hour before the guests arrive.
2-Since you do not have access to a blender, assume that chopping the garlic semi-fine will do.
1- If the internet recipe says 2-6 cloves, do not, and i mean DO NOT choose the larger of the two, as this will result in a very overpowering taste....unless you really want your dressing to have that..je ne sais quoi, or that «zest».
Indeed, yesterday was my birthday along with the patron saint day celebration of the family here and so we were to feast! Of course, being the helpful person that I am I wanted to help in the kitchen with something easy and foolproof, like, for example, salads.
Silly, silly Lisa. Maybe I should stick to readily available store bought mix in Canada! I graciously accepted the kind compliments of the guests, who probably just felt sorry for me. I did, however, redeem myself through pasta salad. So let that be a lesson to you kids, if all else fails, go with the pasta salad.

New Year's in Berlin
Met up with Scott on nov. 29th where we hung out in a hotel only to meet up with Gwen on the 31st...had a nice cooking party (flickr photos) dinner and a bit of wine (photo) followed by a party where the free state of "Bulvaria" was discussed. (I tried to convince Scott it was acutally Bavaria but he would have none of it). Tomorrow I am heading back to Serbia for Christmas. I think my stomach is going to explode but how many times to I get to eat authentice cabbage rolls and other yummy slavic treats. Oh yeah, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
