Macedonia

Macedonia, country I identify myself, country I was born and country I visited this summer.There are so many places to visit as Macedonia is very rich with history. I just wish one day we will have more time to travel all over the country, for now we are happy with what we have seen so far.

Macedonia - always in my heart!



Typical seasonal  fruits and vegetables in August in Macedonia


 Hot peppers




 Grapes


 Plum tree 


 Figs



corns cooked on outside fire

 Coffee cooked in copper pots on outdoor wooden fire - priceless

  2. Thank you so much for sharing your photographs of Macedonia Laura. I enjoyed looking at them the drying chili pepper (you may be interested to see my post tomorrow by the way_, the sliced tomatoes drying on the rooftop too and those traditional pots are lovely. Hope you will go back again and share some cuisine with us
