Thank you Ante

I got a nice surprise over 1 week ago from Ante. A bright yellow box in my doorway from Croatia! I opened it to find potica (po teet' sa) almost like my Grandma's that I bake now. It's bread dough rolled out with a filling of brown sugar, cinnamon, honey, walnuts & whatever, rolled up & baked. I tried taking a pic & putting it on here but my 'puter won't let me - GRRRR. It has a mind of it's own sometimes.
On the package listed the ingredients but all I could make out was "rum". Is that same language as here? I will have to try putting rum in mine!
Anyway, thank you Ante for a nice surprise. It's gone BTW

(was very good toasted w/ butter). And, all I did was send some dragon fruit cuttings!
Now I'll have to send you one of mine for Christmas huh? - so we can compare.

Haha Patty
thank U for compliments and Im very glad that U like "Orahnjača"(potica in Croatian) I have sendt.
I admit that I was a bit warryed about "yellow submarine"(code name for my yellow packet) but I didnt want to warn U. I wanted to keep it as surprise

There were and still are many yellow submarines arround globe since my interest for bananas and other exotics appear

:ha
Anyway I ll try to translate recept for cake and send to U or maybe better to post it here so other members can enjoy it. Well as U say we have to wait for Christmas for next cake trade or who knows maybe yellow submarine starts a new mission sooner

Hope to see that pictures soon.
Regards from Croatia

I'm fairly certain I ate this cake/bread one day, if not eat it regularly here, but I can't make heads or tails of your descriptions. Could you Ante please post some pic of your potica here? Thanks. Nice job btw. I'm surprised that the police dogs in customs didn't ate it.
