By week 2 I was changing the order of basic sentences b/c there was so much mis-translation it wasn't funny... I just remember rethinking what I had just said, and started laughing at how bad the sentence structure was to get my point across..lol.Christine Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14103623732578377641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5104694026255500366.post-82270820759012795132010-07-08T07:39:39.048-07:002010-07-08T07:39:39.048-07:00Lol, usually socks although right now I'm work...Lol, usually socks although right now I'm working on a very involved mitten project that uses size 1 needles - really complicated pattern, tiny stitches, and it's taking me FOREVER! <br /><br />I think the bean bread is called lobiani (though don't quote me on that one). The general spice mix would be Khmeli-suneli - you might be able to find it in the open-air markets. Have you ever read The Georgian Feast by Darra Goldstein? It's a really neat Georgian cookbook with many of the foods you're describing in it. The recipes are really authentic, and there's a whole section on Georgian food culture as well. http://www.amazon.com/Georgian-Feast-Vibrant-Culture-Republic/dp/0520219295<br /><br />I loved all the pictures of Tbilisi! That's so cool that you got to try on the costumes - sounds like lots of fun!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00824106851597894525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5104694026255500366.post-54228804421348579022010-07-08T04:50:22.612-07:002010-07-08T04:50:22.612-07:00There is a fabulous spice market "somewhere&q...There is a fabulous spice market "somewhere" there :-) As if I could ever follow the crazy driver we had. Ask to go to that. Also, the art market by the Dry Bridge is fabulous when there are a lot of vendors. I can home with beautiful watercolors (don't know if you remember them on the Georgian Angels site)... but my favorites are two different oil paintings. SO inexpensive, and just beautiful.<br />Did you go to a souvenir store (I think on Rustaveli) where they actually still use an abacus??? We just could believe it and took pictures of it... Oh, the memories you are bringing back!! Thanks for sharing your experience!Christine Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14103623732578377641noreply@blogger.com
