I will describe one of favorite recipes.
It's an old, traditional bosnian sweety:

---

"TUFAHIJA"

---

3-4 sour apples (yellow or green peel)
100 g. walnuts
200 g. sugar
(ice)cream

---

Put the sugar in the pot, large enough to put the apples in. Pour in the water - not more than we need to cook apples later.
Until the water with sugar boils well, peel off the apples & pierce each, so that the stem and kernel is removed.
When syrup is ready, cook the apples 15 minutes (approximate time). Soon as the spume goes through the middle, it
is cooked! They should not fall into pieces - it's even better if they stay raw. Than take apples out and mix the ground walnuts with syrup. Fill each apple with it and decorate with the cream. Serve them cold. Bon apetit!

I went everywhere with longing
in my eyes, until here
in my own house

I felt truth
filling my eyes.

Cigo živio pokraj pruge, pa pokupio stare šine, kad su obnavljali prugu. Jednog dana došla policija, pokucali na vrata...
-"Kakve su ovo šine, cigo?"
-"Pa od pruge, drug milicioner."
-"A otkud šine pred tvojom kućom?"
-"Pa, druže, deca se igrala, pa donela pred kuću."
-"Ma koga ti praviš budalom? Svaka ova šina teži tonu."
-"Šta dete zna šta je tona"...

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world.
The unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man!
- G. B. Shaw

"It is wrong to think that love
comes from long companionship
and persevering courtship.
Love is the offspring
of spiritual affinity
and unless that affinity
is created in a moment,
it will not be created
for years
or even generations."

-- Kahlil Gibran, 1883-1931

Najviše se biva kažnjen za svoje vrline.

Došao Bosanac na more, u Hrvatsku, ušao u restaurant, a konobar reče: "Izvolite!"

- Jednu kahvu, molim lijepo.
- Oprostite, nema kahve.
- Pardon, jednu kafu, moliću...
- Nema kafe, žao mi je.
- Dobro, onda jednu kavu.
- Nema ni kave, nažalost.
- Pa šta ima?!
- A, eto, živi se...

The eyes are our most sensitive organ, and when
you look and look and look into another person's
eyes you are looking at the most beautiful jewels
in the universe. And if you look down beyond that
surface beauty, it's the most beautiful jewel in the
universe, because that's the universe looking at you.
We are the eyes of the cosmos. So that in a way,
when you look deeply into somebody's eyes, you are
looking deeply into yourself, and the other person is
looking deeply into the same self, which many-eyed,
as the mask of Vishnu is many-faced, is looking out
everywhere, one energy playing myriads of different
parts.

- Alan Watts
