Lunch

We had a busy week of lunch invitations from friends.  First on Sunday our friends from the Zagreb branch had us over to lunch and their Doctor friend from India cooked for us and made us some delicious Indian food, this was my first experience with Indian food, so I was afraid it would be too spicy but it wasn't!  We had a great experience eating some new foods and enjoyed the wonderful company and conversation.  I just love this lady with me, she is so kind and sweet to me and has made me feel loved and at home here in Croatia so far from home.

On Monday for P. Day we told the four Elders here in Zagreb that we would take them to Metro, which is like the European Costco, and let them go shopping, because every time we go there they tell us they want to go too.  So, when we got ready to take them they told us we had to stop at McDonalds because they were going to each take the McDonalds Challenge, the evidence is below.

Here they are all waiting for their fish sandwiches, apparently no one ever orders fish sandwiches in Croatia, they all had the worst time getting the fish sandwiches down, but had no trouble with the Big Mac, Chicken Sandwich, double cheese burger, large fries, and large drink, so they each ordered an Ice Cream Sunday!!

Here is the evidence of their success all stacked up!!  Sixteen total McDonald's Burgers eaten!!

On Tuesday a young single adult girl in our Zagreb branch told us we were coming to her house for lunch and that her Mom had prepared Sarma for us, which is a traditional specialty of Croatia, so we were honored that she would invited us over to her apartment for lunch.  Ivana is the only member in her family, so we were delighted her Mom would make lunch for us, but to our disappointment her Mom was not there to eat lunch with us.  We had a lovely lunch and visit though, I hope to take her Mom some flowers and meet her soon.
