†002 - Definitely not allergic to garlic.

[bucuresti]

[Mihail decided that he needed to get around to cooking something. Back at home, this time of year yields some of the best food his country has to offer. Lucky for him, he's got the blessing of being a pretty decent cook. However, this only really applies to food from his region (Romanian food is more like Turkish, Russian, Ukrainian, and German food combined) so things like hot dogs, macaroni and cheese, and pizza aren't exactly within his...skills.

So he's going at making any number of things, specifically mamaliga (Romanian "peasant" cornbread that goes great with sour cream), frigarui (really spiced up kebabs), and of all things, baklava. There seems to be a cloud of garlic powder and any number of spices floating around him, and there's a gratuitous amount of pork, among other meat. Romanians like their meat, y'know.

This is more like stress relief for him, other than just traditional winter cooking time. He hasn't had the best month and he's just gotten over being sick for the umpteenth time, so cooking seems like an awesome stress reliever.

He's more than willing to share (his inner Romanian grandma will probably say you look too skinny and then shove some mamaliga in your mouth), but there is a degree of acquired taste to this stuff, except maybe the baklava.]

{He nods, taking a sip.}

I haven't had anything to drink in 2 days. A friend of mine wants me to cut back on drinks...says it is bad for my health...

[cenusa-lumina.livejournal.com]

I've been cutting back as well, except not on wine. It never seems to do anything to me.

I can't take it anymore....I really need my vodka...{He makes a depressing sort of noise while staring down at his glass.}

[cenusa-lumina.livejournal.com]

I don't blame you. []

[moskva-prince.livejournal.com]

I guess if I made it this long without it...I can survive...da?

[ooc:Going to sleep, goodnight |D ]

[cenusa-lumina.livejournal.com]

I would think so. Or hope so.

{He chuckles.}

I just wonder if wine counts?

[cenusa-lumina.livejournal.com]

It has an alcohol level, certainly, but a merlot like that won't do anything to you.

I should get going, I probably overstayed my welcome.
