What's in the bottle?

It’s funny how a bottle of perfectly good green tea looks like pee without the label.

Post-It Love

Post-It Love

Gotta love this short film, it’s awesome. It’s about a man and a woman who find love at the office. Their romance blossoms through Post-It note designs they make for each other.

Did you know you could buy crap?

Here is proof positive that crap can be bought. Apparently it comes in 130g packages.

Packaged Crap

Alright, it’s not really crap. Well, it is — in Romanian — which translates to carp in English. This happens to be carp roe salad, with onions. Quite tasty, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Drob or Drobo?

It’s almost Easter in Romania, and the traditional food here during this time is called “drob” — a dish made of lamb’s meat, spiced with various herbs, and topped with lemon juice. The one pictured here is vegetarian, and is made with mushrooms, nuts and other goodies.

Of course, given that I’ve been working with a Drobo in the United States for quite some time, and the two words are very similar in pronounciation, it’s very odd to hear elderly relatives and random people on the street talk about the Drobo, which of course, cannot be eaten.
