RE: Autumn preps & Actifit September 30 2025

I knew about Ayvar but not Liutenitsa, I guess they're not too different, just slight variations depending on what veggies do you use.
Now this is a funny one, закуска, probably people were eating it mainly in the mornings at some point, anyways we share so many words, I watched some bulgarian movie/tv series and could hear a lot of similar sounding expressions.

Sort:  

Oh really? which series?

Traditional liutenitsa is with roasted eggplants & peppers (prefferably on fire) and then cooked with tomato sauce, oil, salt, sugar... slowly on fire again...
It was kind of a ritual when we we kids to sit around and taste it first on a big chunck of bread :D
Then the variations go wide again.. with adding carrots, different spices and on of my grannies even put apples for making it sweeter, instead of adding sugar :)

  • that's the recipe that I was used to growing up, except the sugar, usually the peppers would be sweet enough.

The TV series is called Undercover/Pod prikritie, at some point I ran out of anything good to watch and I came upon this one, managed to watch the first 4 seasons with breaks in-between.

If you ever plan to watch any romanian series, there's only 2 that I can recommend: Umbre and Spy/Master

It is true ..for the peppers!

Ok for the series...

Can you recommend a better bulgarian series?

I'm actually not much into series...
rarely watch any movies

So how do you pass the time when you're bored with nothing to do?

yeah those tricky moments...
if i could turn it to creativity... cool
sometimes just do nothing...introspection..metidation..
very rarely i turn the tv on :)

AND of course Youtube... seems addictive.. till you get to the end of doom scrolling :D

I can't do meditation, I have a cat and a dog, they won't let me :)))
