Sticky Adventures

On Sunday afternoon I went outside the city to the country property of my gazda's daughter and son-in-law, Gabi and Nico. Nico's parents live on the property next door and have a pretty sizable garden. I think they are subsistence farmers with chickens, ducks and turkeys in their yard. They have a fairly good size piece of property with a large garden and tiny vineyard where they make wine for the family. They have a tiny house that I imagine must be very hard to heat in the winter.
A lot of the plants that are grown here are similar to those that grow in the Northwest. I saw tomatoes, potatoes, strawberries, garlic, onions, butter lettuce, parsley and dill. They also have apple, peach, and plum trees.

We made a fire in the backyard and cooked sausage and chicken on the fire. It was delicious! However, the best part of the afternoon is that Nico is a bee-keeper and has a lot of hives on the property. He had been harvesting some honey so we had a desert of fresh strawberries and honey still warm from the hive. It was amazing!

This fire eventually became our barbecue; our "charcoal" was dried corn husks.
