Where kraken cringe beneath her fierce and beady eye.
Swathed against Atlantic gales in rosy knitted scarves, she sails,
She fearless travels on the road of whales,
Across the path of Ahab's brilliant foe and phosphorescent snails
Where new worlds wait beneath the western edge of sky.
She, fearless, travels on the road of whales
Where kraken cringe beneath her fierce and beady eye.

| Lelja Vezhda, aka Auntie Eyebrow, reached the inland banks of Puppelachia after a three-week voyage from her homeland in Bulgaria. She is the first Puppelachian settler from the Balkans, and the boys are looking forward to her famous recipe for sour cherry vishnovka. Victorine, with Swanny and the Lillemors, have promised to make a big banitza for her party this weekend: who can resist feta cheese in hot buttered filo? *Note - you can see that Lelja Vezhda has a beautiful felt minaudière (Puppelachian bag-of-holding), so now we are very curious to see what she has brought with her from her homeplace in the Land of Ancient Roses. |
I, too, am very interested in that minaudiere and I certainly look forward to the visnovka and banitza. Zvio!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think the boys are gonna try their hands at some visnovka for the holidays, so if they ask you to pick up a jar of maraschino cherries for them, I'd decline...I don't think they're working from the right recipe...
