I learned how to do this by reading German tips in one of the recipe booklets I picked up here. It worked and it was great.
Get 4 tea bags and place them in a small bowl of boiled water. Let them sit and brew. Pour the tea concentrate into a pitcher with cold water and Ice cubes and serve!

1 large tomato
1 onion
20 olives (purple is best all will work)

Lupicja's Cevapi
I went to Bosnia-Herzegovina in June. Amanda Haskew and I went to a retreat there. We stayed with a friend of mine. She and her husband wanted us to try something that area of the world was known for. They took us to a little place and we tried Cevapi for the first time. I loved it, and while we were in Sarajevo, we were told they had the best around we never did taste it there.
We had a wild ride home to Vienna with Croatian Fans headed to Vienna for the EU Fussball Cup Championships. It was an experience I could never explain in words.... just trust me. I sought shelter with a nice older lady. We got to talking abotu things I enjoyed from my travels and she said well I can teach you how to make some of those things. Here is the 1st recipe. I love it, my family loves it and the friends who have tried it enjoyed it as well!
Cevapi
1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork
1 small onion
1 garlic clove
a pinch of sugar
salt and pepper to taste (start with 1/2 tsp each)
splash of Olive Oil
3 pinches of chili pepper (optional)
Mix well and refrigerate overnight.
When ready to prepare you need to roll the meat into little sausages the width of 2 fingers. Then cook them in a hot pan with very little olive oil.
Serve with a pita or flatbread put 3 cevapi inside, and serve with sliced onion and Ajvar on the side. This is a eggplant/red pepper spread you can buy.
Enjoy!

Carp -
A Holiday recipe passed on from my Mother-in-laws Best Friend!
recipe for baked carp.
spread mayo on bottom of baking dish, then sliced onion, and carp repeat in layers until fish is used completely. Would likely be good with all fish.
We had this at Christmas this year and it was tasty!

Halina's Roll Up Cake Recipe
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 1/4 cup flour (direcly into a sifter)
Jam or filling of your choice (you can also use chunky Applesauce)
preparation: grease a jelly roll pan or baking sheet, cover with parchment paper and grease the parchment paper as well. You will need 2 bowls and a hand mixer.
take the 3 eggs and the sugar and blend with a hand mixer until sugar is dissolved and mixture is velvety in texture. Continue to mix and add flour into mixture in small incriments (aprox. 1 Tbsp at a time) Continue to blend until all flour is added and mixture is very smoothe and light.
Bake at 200 C (400 F) for aprox. 15 min.
after the cake is baked you must work fast. remove the cake in paper from the pan and the paper from the cake. Lay on an additional clean sheet of parchment paper. Once paper has been removed spread your filling quickly over 3/4 of the cake and start to roll from the end that is covered towards the end without filling. As you roll the filling will move and cover everything. Once rolled cover with the parchment paper it is on and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
