Исткаени во традицијата
Идејата за оваа статија ми дојде на ум додека го изработував дизајнот за мојата претходна статија насловена „Лингвистичка таписерија на Балканот“. Отсекогаш ме привлекувала традиционалната облека од различни земји, особено разнобојните и сложените дизaјни извезени на неа. Па така, ова беше совршена можност да им направам интервју на Дамјан и Сара. Тие се двајца млади…

Të bashkuar në tenxhere
Një perime e rrumbullakët, e mbjellur në tokë, e mbuluar me një guaskë kafe. Brenda, përbërja e artë zhbllokon shije dhe kënaqësi të pafundme kur korret dhe përgatitet mirë. Kjo perime, e njohur si patate – ose siç e quajmë ne, Kartof(f)el/kartofel – shpesh nënvlerësohet si një pjatë anësore. Megjithatë, ajo lulëzon në një shumëllojshmëri…

United in the pot(ato)
A round vegetable, buried in the ground, covered in a brown shell. Inside, its golden flesh unlocks endless flavors and delights when harvested and well prepared. This vegetable, known as potato—or as we call it, Kartof(f)el—is often underestimated as just a side dish. Yet, it flourishes in an endless variety of dishes and tastes. So…
