I'm back!

Sorry everyone! I have been having blog trouble. But I had an amazing spring break, along with Easter.mi cooked for everyone in my flat. I made salad, veggie soup, pasta with meat sauce, drinks and my roommates made appetizers of the Slovak culture. (pickles, cream cheese, ham = so good!) it was quite successful and everyone loved it! They are not used to Italian holidays. Haha. Got a bit rowdy ! But The true Easter holiday here happens on Easter Monday (today). they celebrate a lot like we do halloween. They have open air markets filled with yummy nut and gluten foods haha but the tradition isn't a meal. The woman make junk food and cater to the men. Figures, right? Lol the men create whips, made of sticks and ribbons, and go door to door or walk around the market and whip the woman and girls. For the men, they whip the woman to make them look younger and in return they give the men a shot of slivoviska a plum brandy. They also squirt water, or pour water on the woman for good luck. Also, the young boys get chocolate instead of shots. It's quite the holiday here!
