Today was another what in the world are we doing here day. We visited a castle from the 14th century. It was a rather small castle, but still pretty cool to see. Itis under renovation. We also visited the hometown of Tito- the leader of the Croats for a really long time. I cant decide if I like him or not. He was communist and socialist. Its really hard to understand. I wanted to just showcase some of the food on here today- since I dont really have much else to talk about. We like the laid back days- but we have been working on our health blog since 530- it is 930 now!! So we have been eating LOTS of meat. This is Croatian dinner style- or lunch too- appetizers of the most ugly salami- proscitto (some kind of smoked meat)- and some cheese. Today we had the most AWFUL appetizers ever- MEAT ENCLOSED IN JELLY that is FAT!!
and some beef sald in this green sauce that made it look like dog food- and then we had 3 dips for the bread- 2 were cheese based and really good- the other was bacon fat and stuffing-like. OMG. Disgusting. They brought out the jellied meat and I touched it and it was cold and jiggly. I didnt eat it. Back to order of dining: appetizers, generally meats and breads, then soup, 
then cabbage salad :) (cabbage lettuce tomatoes and sometimes cucumbers in vinegar), then the main course- generally 2 meats and 2 starches- and then sometimes dessert. So today after apps we had noodle soup (they dont put meat in it momma!! :) ), then salad, then of all things we could have had- WE HAD FRIED CHICKEN AND BAKED BEANS!! Of course it was great- very different from ours, but so good! They dont use any sauces here- so i was dying for some ketchup, but I managed. The Croats tend to eat a lot of pork- so there were also boiled pork chops today. Rice with peas and these potatoes we have yet to figure out- but are really good! Then we had TWO pastries today. One apple one cheese. Amazing. The portions here are incredibly huge. We eat cereal and soup with what we use in the states for SERVING. Here are some of the food highlights from today..and some of the lowlights! Big Guh definitely aint starving- I have gained weight from being here :(!!
Oh and today we had banana peppers and pickles for apps. I tasted the pepper and lets just say it was too hot for me! Mild to everyone else!
