Bumpy ride to Raca monastery

Just before getting into the car, we googled the way to drive to the monastery and were probably too tired to get a closer look to see that it chose big roads. Destination wasn’t too far from our starting point so we thought that we can always go back and take another road. Anyway, when we got off the big road and started driving through villages I got very excited. I love country side, old houses, animals, so of course, I took million pictures and we were stopping every 5m. And somewhere there the country rocky road got smaller, there was no place where we could turn the car. On one side of the car, more like 5cm from where the tires end, was a downhill so steep I almost started panicking but instead I took pictures of these beautiful sheep. Good thing I get easily distracted!

After that point the road in front of us got so steep, to sit straight up I had to get halfway closer to my thighs! Then I started imagining busses with tourists driving on this small little steep road on their way to this big tourist attraction and it made me laugh so much. After that last steep hill on the other side was the monastery. There are a couple of buildings to visit, beautiful frescoes and even a little museum. Still, I liked the countryside and the crazy ride more! ;)

Simple breakfast omelette

Ingredients for 1

3 eggs

Salt

Pepper

Olive oil

Thyme leaves

Process

In a bowl, briefly, using a fork, mix the eggs, salt and pepper.

Oil a non-stick pan and preheat to a medium heat. When the oil starts to move to the edges of the pan

it means it is hot enough. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and wait until the edge of the omelette

gets cooked. Using a spoon, pull the cooked edges to the middle of the pan, then tilt the pan to allow

the runny parts to get cooked. Do this in 3-4 moves. While there are still some uncooked parts,

remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle over some fresh thyme leaves. The omelette will continue

to cook in the hot pan, it will end up having different textures and being irresistibly silky.  

To serve, hold the pan at the steep angle while it’s touching the plate at the opposite end and start

rolling the omelette which then will continue to roll and fall on to the plate forming a half moon

shape. Top with some additional thyme leaves and serve with some mayo and a piece of bread. 

 

Enjoy!
