workers and pensioners of the world unite!!


Happy May Day everyone! And it sparkles and fresh and warm after last evenings' serious hailstorm... luckily things (touch wood) more resilient than expected, lettuces, cherry, pea-plants, grapes, raspberry (already showing budding fruit) seem all unhurt - maybe even good, as the bad ones must have fallen down. We are off to the majális - the May Day village bogrács cooking competition from the free meat allocated by the council. I contribute the csipetke to our team, which is like nokkedly, but smaller and a little bit harder, and I'm making it from ürömi dried ones that Rita brought last September as part of an enormous box of produce. (They own a pasta factory that now seem to supply all major supermarkets, but going broke as said evil supermarkets are not paying their suppliers, often not at all). Anyway, these special egg-pasta need 45 minutes cooking, and I caught up with this fact rather late, never mind, by the time we get there Erzsi's PINCEPÖrkÖlt will be nicely bubbling away... there will be table-tennis and 3 pin balling competition as well so I might go in my trainers. Have a lovely day! Will attempt to make photos, but rarely turns out anything interesting at these group gatherings. Unfortunately the turn-out tend to be poorer and poorer every year - the population prefers fatten their backsides in front of their tellies getting stupider and stupider; election results Kiskassa that used to have a majority for the socialists now conforms to the national trend - Fidesz (Fascistoids) 45% JObbik (Fascists) 28% MSzP (liberalcapitalists but not fascists and keep democratic pretences) 22%. sod the world, lets have a good time.
