This is what happens...
...when you find buffalo mozzarella in an Azerbaijani supermarket.

Guacamole
I was fortunate enough to have an avocado specially imported from a tree in Venezuela. It was the largest of its kind that I had ever seen. The stem end ripened way earlier than the opposite end, so deciding when to guacamole-ize was tricky.
It all turned out good in the end.

Homemade Pesto
It definitely tasted as good as it looked. There's nothing like homemade pesto made from homegrown basil. Mmmm...

More Georgian Fare
This was called Akimela. I believe there was chicken, mushrooms, cheese, and some sort of sauce involved. It was rather good, and a welcome change from khachapuri.

It's a Celebration!
I made that....
...in a makeshift tin-foil cake pan.
What better way to celebrate Canada Day?

Estonian Goodness
A Russian soup resembling Borscht
Succulent, mouthwatering pork.I didn't get a chance to eat much in the way of local Estonian food (it's really hard to find without paying outrageous prices for it). We went to one of those cavern restaurants that's so popular in the Baltic states (and the Czech Republic) and were treated to some fine cuisine. After living in a place like Azerbaijan, the pork in Eastern Europe is just so good.
