And for liking the name of my blog, too! ;-D

I may only be HALF Macedonian, but I’m ALL M…um, hee, hee! ;-D

Seriously, I recently did a post riffing off a humor piece I found, “You know you are a Macedonian…” by essentially displaying my ignorance of my Fathers culture, and got responses wondering how I could even call myself Macedonian, if I don’t know the culture, or live it.

As I wrote in response I can do so, if for no other reason than because of my DNA. ;-D

I couldn’t do anything about the choices my Father made to not teach his kids the language, and culture, but I can make up for that a little bit, by educating myself, now, in ways that interest me.

One such interest is Food. ;-D

Thanks for your comment. I wish there were more websites related to Balkan food especially in English. I would love to learn more about the cuisine. I also hope to write more articles about it in the future.

If anyone is interested, here is one website that offers a bit of information about Balkan food.

BTW, I love the name of your blog!

My Father was born in Macedonia so I’m trying to find Macedonian, Bulgarian, Croatian, and Serbian food related sites, and what few related restaurants, delis, and markets, there are in Southern California, to visit, and add to my growing lists in my sidebar.

Greek I can find, easy, and plan to visit in my quest to connect more with the culture of my Father, but there are few of the other eateries, and markets, in Socal, it seems. ;-D
