While the main focus of our three and a half weeks in Macedonia was our teaching at the OSI summer school "The Image of the Other," we began and ended the trip visiting Natalija's family. David hadn't seen them since our 1997 trip, although he saw all three "daughters" in Budapest last December. The food was, a usual, wonderful. Here is a recipe for pindzur from Natalija's baba Nada!

The summer school was a wonderful experience. Plenty of time to think and share with many "others". And we partied too!
