Happy new salad!

Today celebrates my friend who has just completed a 40-day fast. Picture it for a moment.

100% volunteer, the shirt says. These are from three years ago when you took me on a walk around Mengeš where you used to live.

After you saw my collection of your gifts to me through the years that I posted on your last birthday (available on my previous blog here), you immediately noticed a certain object missing. First, a reminder. There were:

This fish from Turkey.

This plate with more fish from Turkey.

This puzzle with inscription: “We can be heroes just for one day.”

This box that was made together with kids in the kindergarten where you worked at the time.

This sand and shell spiral from our beach. I added some more shells for our guest bathroom.

This Good Day Tower that you made on the spot, also with beach finds.

The object that I forgot to include goes well after your fast. I love it and use it on the daily basis. Another day, another salad.

Ta-daaam! It’s the happiest salad bowl!

No hiding the truth: it’s chipped! But this only testifies to its heavy use. Let’s see some examples.

This photo was used in the About me on my previous blog, saying that a salad is the only thing I can make besides a blog. Father took this one on their first visit five years ago for my birthday.

This was the first visit of amore’s family.

Mom being mom with her cousin’s husband.

I love putting chick peas in my salads. Bestia is hopeful but not convinced.

Sis made this one on her last visit.

This sun makes me happy every time I see it and reminds me of a photo…

This one! You on the descent from Mount Ilija on Pelješac peninsula, one of the hardest days of my life. Yours too?

The happiest use of the bowl was recent, with the multicoloured Swiss chard.

Oooops, wrong object but it’s just for you straight from Sicily. Buon appetito!

Speaking of forgotten objects… You got me this too. Therapy? is the band we heard live more than once. Or twice…

Dear Miralem, if you gift yourself love daily, and I know you do, nothing can destroy your happiness. Cheers and buon appetito now that you can again.
