Just call me Cruella DeVil

So you guys know that I am not really an animal lover...but did you ever think I would stoop so low as to eating DALMATION!?

I did. Only it was Dalmatian prosciutto...on JJ's pizza. So after our aimless wandering through the city, or maybe town, of Podstrana. Where we actually did walk into people's homes accidentally. Well, not all the way in, just into the hallway of the apartment, but I feel like that is enough of an intrusion! Back to the point, we ended up at that restaurant next to the hotel that was a pizza place and JJ was the only one to actually order a pizza. Pepperoni to be exact, but it was actually Dalmatian prosciutto and it was delicious. I could eat that everyday. Perhaps everyday for the rest of my life. The Sultan and I ordered Ivanka salads which consisted of spinach, tuna, shrimp and goat cheese. We asked if the salads were appetizer sized and the waitor said yes....but boy, was he wrong. Thank goodness I had JJ, my human garbage disposal, otherwise I would've been SOL. Schmitaly ordered a caprese salad and garlic bread to start with and he forced me to have some of that as well. I was stuffed before my main course, but wait til you hear what Schmitaly and I ordered. If you have high cholesterol, I suggest you take your meds now. As I mentioned before, JJ got a pizza. RK ordered a sesame-crusted seared tuna, and Schmitaly and I split a Mixed Grill. Oh, a mixed grill? Sounds simple enough, right? Don't roll your eyes just yet!!

Chicken, pork chops, pork loin, ćevapćići (Croatian sausage), another type of sausage, french fries, with ajvar (a type of Croatian red relish). Enough food to feed all four of us...and I ate almost all of my half. JJ helped a little, but only after making me eat a slice of his pizza. So in the end, it wasn't really helping me, it was just a trade off! I thought I was going to die, but it was going to be a good death. It was fantastic! Every painful bite of it! Did I forget to mention the 2 steins---is that appropriate terminology?--of Ozujsko we each had? Aye de mi!

Jenny Craig, here I come!

  2. While you are off eating Dalmatians, here is what you are missing:
    -Angela decapitated Chris's stick man
    -David got his water sterilization kit today and spent the morning trying to sterilize his own urine and make me drink it
    -We discovered the CWT Portal Destination Intelligence Section. We thought you should know that you are in danger of earthquakes, landmines, being hit by streetcars, driving a boat while intoxicated, and high drink prices (especially when frequenting gentlemen's clubs).

  3. fyi. for someone who doesn't know what chris' "stick man" is...hearing that ang decapitated it could sound very crude.
    and anything that comes out of david's body could never be sterilized....so he should give up now. one of the topics at dinner tonight was dushanbe and diarrhea...very pleasant. i can't wait for him to go!
    lastly, all of the above mentioned things have happened to me here...i just figured they weren't worth mentioning in my posts...i thought you wanted exciting things like pepperoni pizza eating.

    schwartzy: he is awesome. i figured i wouldn't use anyone's real names so no one can get mad, get in trouble, etc. :) and you def should stayed so you could have come on this trip! miss you!

    miss you all!
