  • We are all about traditional living in the Balkans and Easter in Bulgaria is no different! Today I will show you another amazing dish my Baba (grandma) cooks in our little Eastern European paradise: Bulgarian Kuzunak (Козунак)!! This is a big deal because Baba agreed to share her secret recipe with you all and I really think you will enjoy this festive deliciousness!
    Warning: Kuzunak is very difficult to make and requires tedious attention to detail. IT TOOK US 15 HOURS TO MAKE!! But was well worth it! 🥖🥯 🍞
    ABOUT ME:
    My name is Laurie and I swapped city life (Manhattan, New York) for a simple life in a semi-abandoned village (Село) in the Balkan Mountains (Eastern Europe).
    I literally woke up one morning and realized NYC wasn’t for me. I booked a ticket (the same day!), packed a little suitcase, and moved to my beloved teeny-tiny Bulgarian farm… lost in time. And when I say lost in time I mean LOST-IN-TIME. No time-crunching jobs, no watching the clock, hardly any internet service at all, really. Imagine a village from the Middle Ages… that’s pretty much what you get here. And I’m loving every second of it!
    I went from living in a city of 8 million to living on an old, historic farm… population: under 40. From skyscrapers to crumbling abandoned houses. From fast food takeout to barrel grill cooking. The advantages of village life are endless…
    Update: My boyfriend and I have saved up and begun renovating our abandoned ancestral homestead (farmhouse). It hasn’t been easy but definitely interesting and extremely rewarding. There is nothing better than farming, harvesting and foraging for our own food… and keeping tradition alive. 🌱
    ЗА МЕН:
    Здравейте!
    Аз съм Лори, на която всички се чудят как замени градския живот (Манхатън, Ню Йорк) със спокоен живот в малко полуизоставено село в България.
    Събудих се една сутрин и осъзнах, че Ню Йорк не е за мен. Купих си билет (същият ден!), стегнах си малкото куфарче, и се завърнах в България… в бащиното ми селце, там, където животът е спрял, и там, където разбираш кои неща наистина имат смисъл! Забравих какво е стрес, напрежение и нареждане на деня спрямо часовника! Часовник, какво е това? За да ползваш телефона си, отиваш до специално място, където има обхват, и така говориш! Чувстваш се така, сякаш живееш в годините от Възрожденския ни период! Обожавам и ценя всеки миг, прекаран тук!
    Всички се чудят не е ли трудно да живееш в село с по-малко от 40 души, отчитайки, че идвам от град с 8 милиона жители! От небостъргачи до рушащи се изоставени къщи…От доставки на бързи храни до готвене на жар и весели чевермета! Предимствата да живееш на село са безкрайни... На първо място трябва да осъзнаеш какво дава то на душата ти, защото тя е най-важна! След това да забравиш за клишето, че няма реализация!
    В момента: Моят приятел и аз обновихме изоставената къща на предците ни! Пригодихме я така, че да не ни липсва каквото и да е удобство! Не беше лесно, но определено интересно и изключително възнаграждаващо. Няма нищо по-добро от земеделието, отглеждането и търсенето на собствена храна... и поддържането на традицията жива. 🌱

    Looking at your Grandma's apartment and the blocks outside her window, I'm wondering whether this is one of the old communist blocks or a new one. I've seen videos about the old "commie blocks" in other countries and how people still live in them.
    Perhaps in a future video, you can talk about the housing situation in Bulgaria. I know the villages have problems, but what about the cities? How do people live? What is their accommodation like? Do you have the new high rises like in Russia? That sort of thing. Thanks.

    • @sistersofbulgaria9396
      @sistersofbulgaria9396  3 месяца назад

      Great questions! This is an old commie block. The downside is there is no elevator and Bulgaria does not mandate elevators in buildings under 5 stories high … which is ridiculous in my opinion because most people living in such buildings are elderly.
      I would be more than happy to make a video on the housing situation in Bulgaria for both villages and cities. I wrote it down 😊. Thanks for this great suggestion!

      При нас се получи обратното 😄 Ние сме на село а Бабите ми са в градовете. Баба Нина (от този клип) е в София. Другата му Баба е в Пазарджик. Ходя при тях много често за да им нося провизии от село и просто защото си ги обичам безкрайно ❤️

    Have to laugh but it’s not funny. At the beginning of video the lady on the sofa puffing on her cigarette. OMG so typical. Probably the worst habit Bulgarians and many Europeans have but especially in the Balkans is smoking cigarettes. Other than that what a nice lifestyle. More difficult than in USA but so much more genuine and natural. You speak Bulgarian very well, I’m impressed…hahaha, morning Bulgarian hairdo!

      Hahaha laugh away because it really is hilarious when you look at it from the side 😆. The morning cigarette and coffee is something they just can’t do without out here. I hate cigarettes but also find it hilarious when I see them constantly puffing away 😄😆😅
      Thank you so much for the compliment on my Bulgarian! Baba taught me to perfect my speech, as well as read and write right here Na Selo 😊🇧🇬
