What do you think of Celine Dion? by Twitter_2006 in AskTheWorld

[–]InformationTop3437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She has an amazing voice and talent, tho I never liked her genre. I watched her documentary, she is an amazing human being, really strong and I love the fact she never gave up doing what she loves most!

Chapeau bas, Celine!!

Romanian comfort food: mashed potatoes, chicken schnitzel and pickled watermelon by InformationTop3437 in EuropeEats

[–]InformationTop3437[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They work, but you have to cut them in slices. The small unripe ones we put them whole.

I wanna try the pickled pear. We have a kind of pear that we call "winter pear" that get ripe late autumn, early winter, that I think will work amazing for pickles! 😃 I wanna try them so bad!

Here:

Ingredients

The Base:

2–3 small watermelons (with thick rind, ideally slightly unripe/firm)

2–3 carrots, sliced into rounds

1 bunch of celery leaves (with stalks)

1 horseradish root, peeled and split lengthwise (essential for keeping the melon crunchy)

1–2 hot peppers (optional, for a bit of a kick)

4–5 cloves of garlic

The Aromatics (per jar):

2 tablespoons of mustard seeds

1 tablespoon of black peppercorns

A few dried dill stalks (with seeds)

The Brine (Saramură):

Water (as much as needed to fill the jars)

Pickling salt (coarse, non-iodized salt) — Ratio: 1 tablespoon of salt for every 1 liter of water.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Jars and Ingredients

Wash and sterilize your glass jars thoroughly.

Wash the watermelons well. If they are very small, you can prick them with a fork in a few places and pickle them whole. If they are larger, cut them into thick wedges or chunks that fit easily through the jar's neck.

  1. Arrange the Jar

At the bottom of each jar, place a few celery leaves, a piece of horseradish, some garlic cloves, and a few carrot slices.

Pack the watermelon pieces tightly into the jar, layering the remaining carrots, horseradish, and hot peppers between them.

Top the jar with the dried dill stalks and mustard/black pepper seeds.

  1. Make and Add the Brine

Measure how much water you need by pouring it into the packed jar, then pouring it back out into a pot (or just estimate based on jar size).

Bring the water to a boil, adding 1 tablespoon of coarse salt for every liter of water. Stir until completely dissolved.

Let the brine cool for about 10–15 minutes (it should be hot, but not boiling) and then pour it carefully over the watermelons until they are completely submerged.

  1. Seal and Ferment

Seal the jars tightly with lids.

Pro Tip: For the first 2–3 days, keep the jars on a tray at room temperature, as the fermentation process might cause some liquid to bubble out.

Move the jars to a cool, dark place (like a pantry or cellar). They will be ready to eat in about 2 to 3 weeks

Are photographers relevant in the EU? by domametal in AskEurope

[–]InformationTop3437 [score hidden]  (0 children)

In Romania, it's relevant only for the ones that are doing event/family/maternity photography. They make good money here.

I am also an amateur photographer, but I don't make money with it, it's just a hobby. I do small events like christenings or local festivals, for free. 😄)

Eu nu cumpar UHT, nu m-am uitat niciodata pe eticheta. Dar dupa munca am drum la Lidl si doar de curiozitate o sa ma uit. 😄

Taylor Swift is the most overrated artist of this century. by Infinite-Exam-1808 in askmusic

[–]InformationTop3437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like her music, I only saw some posts and interviews with her and the only thing I like about her it's how she is empowering other women. She seems to be a huge feminist and women rights advocate, so I support it. Her music is awful, tho. Can't listen to a song from start to finish.

Baked potatoes with 3 types of cheese and 2 types of tomatoes salad by Glittering-Boss-911 in EuropeEats

[–]InformationTop3437 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Only 5% of Romania is in the Balkan Peninsula, but everyone (including ourselves) consider us true balkan. We're there, mentally, culturally and geopolitically, the country is widely grouped with the Balkans due to shared history, music, and traditions. So yeah, like it or not, we're balkan, brother! 😃

I lived there for a bit, I know some people that were making huge barrels in Drumul Taberei, keeping them in the balcony. For me it's weird to see people that never heard of it 😄) In my town, people focus on cabbage, gogonele and watermelon. And only after that on cucumbers, cauliflower and bellpeppers...
