Hi Carolyn,

I love your blog! I am Bulgarian but I live in South Africa. One word of advice - dont start crimping your hair! Bulgarian people have a style of dressing and grooming that is well....East European, I guess...Once you are in the country, it kind of seduces you and you also want to look like that. As soon as you are in a different country, you look a bit weird and not as cool as you did stomping down those mean streets of Sofia (I am from Varna BTW).

Trust me, I have many unworn clothes in my cupboard from my annual visits to BG that seemed like a great idea at the time.

Don't ask me why but this is a phenomenon I have noticed. There is no explanation for it.

As for the food processor, why not just buy a hand held blender? Its less of an investment...

Carry on writing. Your blog is wonderfull.
