kinoteka

skor da ne morem vrjet. nova stara kinoteka je nazaj. po kr neki letih zej, kar kinoteka ni bla več tisto ko včas, jo je nazaj prevzela stara ekipa in spet začela z odličnim programom. spet je tak en prostor tu, kamor se da pridet bol ko ne vsak dan in videt dobre stvari. kak zgleda, že vem ki bom večino večerov.

it is amazing. we have new old kinoteka back. after some years now that kinoteka was not what it used to be, not long ago it came back to the hands of the old crew and they are doing a great job again. there is a place now again where we can be more or less every evening and see great things. as it is going, i can see already where i will spend most of the evenings.

From Southern India to Southern Europe: Tamil breakfast

by ekaterina (cross balkan blogging)

On my last day in India, I had a very special meal, which I think the two Melinas would have really liked. Everything was quite spicy, including the vada, which looked deceptively like a fluffy doughnut, but was in fact filled with whole peppercorns.

bučkina/pumpkin soup

tale gre kr neki časa nazaj. u biti sem bučo dobla iz primorske, tist zadni četrtek 2010, ko je bla druga melina pri morju, opazovala italijansko modo in pojela čist preveč. bučo sem nasoljeno in z mal olivnega olja čez dala v peč za slabih štirdeset minut (200C). pol jo pustila se shladit. posebi prepražla čebulo in dodala česn. pol še bučo. zalila z vodo in počakala. ko začne že ko da bo vrelo je to to. zmiksat.
this one goes back some time. in fact i got the pumpkin from the seaside when other melina went there last thursday in the year 2010, observed italian fashion and ate much too much. i put the pumpkin (salted and with a bit of olive oil over it) in the oven for about 37 min (200C). then i left it to cool. separately in the pot i baked a bit of onion, added garlic (very important) and then the pumpkin. cooked all of it a bit, added water, waited till boiling. mixed it with blender.
