Re: Croatia reporting in!

That is exactly what I am talking about!

I need to put together a ride-to-eat and visit that place. A cevapi run, if you will. They also make pljeskavica.

Currently ride a 300cc Kymco scoot, and have previously owned a 50cc
peugeot scoot, 125cc kymco scoot and a kawasaki er6f abs (ninja 650R).

Bye for now!
There is a lot of us Croatians in Houston also. I'm from Varazdin living in Houston. Looking to possibly be back visiting soon. Would love to go riding with you.

Re: Croatia reporting in!

Welcome to the forum, I spent a little time in your country back in 1998 when I was serving in Bosnia. It mainly was along the Dalmatian Coast between Dubrovnik and Split, centering around Makarska. It was an extremely beautiful place and very scenic. I wish I had a motorcycle with me then, I actually used to fantasize about riding down the roads while I drove on them. We had neighbors in Germany who we were very good friends with, and they used to show us pictures of when the vacationed in the same area.

We used to love getting čevabčiči which is a minced meat that originated in Turkey but which spread to the Balkans. It's been years since I've had it, but the mere thought has me hungry for some!

Živjeli! M2

Well we have Cevapi in Houston! I have a local small grocery that brings them from a butcher up north. I always have them in the freezer ready to grill.

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Eph 4:29 (NIV)
Think before you post. Leave out the vulgarity, personal attacks and foul language!

Quote:
Lies are fragile. They require constant attentiveness to keep them alive. The exposure of a single truth can rip through an ocean of lies, evaporating it instantly. - Brandon Smith

If you want government to intervene domestically, you’re a liberal. If you want government to intervene overseas, you’re a conservative. If you want government to intervene everywhere, you’re a moderate. If you don’t want government to intervene anywhere, you’re an extremist. — Joe Sobran

It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a ‘dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance. – Murray N. Rothbard

When one possessed of the Truth suffers from a heavy heart he is susceptible to a more dangerous affliction — the craving for power to eradicate error, to cause Truth to triumph by force. - Frank Chodorov

Where politicians flourish, long history has harshly taught us, people and their liberty wither. Where the state is god and the "public interest" worshipped, individual man will be found bleeding upon the altar. - Karl Hess

The accepted wisdom is that without the state, society would collapse into lawlessness and crime. In fact, lawlessness and crime define the very nature of the state and the society organized by it. - Bionic Mosquito

But the myth of the rule of law does more than render the people submissive to state authority; it also turns them into the state's accomplices in the exercise of its power. For people who would ordinarily consider it a great evil to deprive individuals of their rights or oppress politically powerless minority groups will respond with patriotic fervor when these same actions are described as upholding the rule of law. - John Hasnas

Where is your grocery? We go to the one near Cafe ****, I think the same family owns both.

My mother-in-law is visiting and brought a bunch of Palinka (Rakija).

Yes that's the place. It's owned by different folks. He has them frozen. When you cook them on the grill do it frozen right from the freezer. I break them apart with a knife.
