harcsapaprikás - Pécsdevecser

Dodi and Timi, my beginner students and Alan's Dark Dog companions
asked us over for harcsa (=catfish) paprikas from fish Dodi caught
in one of the local fishing lakes. This was on saturday lunchtime -
I had no time to blog... anyways, it was a most pleasant afternoon, the meal was superb, cooked in the traditional couldron (=bogrács); Alan and Lois are not freshwater fish fans, but they both agreed, that it was very very tasty, and even more enjoyable sitting under a giant walnut tree on our hosts' large front lawn, with nice views.
It turned out, that Timi is an artist - she painted their interior with what seems to be aboriginal motifs. Dodi is a drummer, but has/had interesting hobbies, such as sledge-driving his huskies, ofwhich he kept/trained 11 at a time... It turns out
that Hungary has about a dozen such people, and they race... Dodi made a summer model with wheels, and got around in that fashion, e.g. arriving to the training of his football team - he also plays football - with his dog-drawn carriege...
wow, what about this, after the didgeridoo maker we find such other hm, interesting excentricity... even though he stopped doing it, but showed the picture of the glorious past... Other than that, still very busy, still no wwoofers, but hostelguests expected for today and most of this week, funny how they arrive in clusters... oh, and the hens are now in the front lawn, Alan made a decent little
mobile coop for them, they are very happy to be proper free range.
Anna's pigs broke out for freedom tonight, Alan only noticed this because he went
to the workshop looking for his glasses (his preoccupation most of the time) and
noticed the 20 pigs happily foraging - luckily only in the back-run of the goats, and not in the vegetable garden. Dogs did not make any noise - the useless beasts. Anyway, with Jozsi, Anna's husband, it wasn't very difficult to herd them back; another excitement to cheer our evening... which is spent nowdays watching the football, ofcourse. I put on the Pecsdevecser pictures,
the chicken-coop hasn't been captured yet, also I have good stork stuff for next time, e-mailed to me by the village newsletter people, they made it when the nest was still in the making.
