    Farewell of Doomed Indonesian Submarine Crew

    If I understand it right, the song was recorded weeks BEFORE the accident, so it's not like the KURSK submarine disaster, where a Russian crew was stranded at the bottom of the sea and might have been rescued if only help from Britain would have been accepted earlier. So it's sad but...

    Romanian cuisine

    So I threw everything at the garbage in a tight sealed plastic bag, making sure not even starving dogs don't get poisoned by this stuff (contains tomatoes, which is a toxin to dogs). Went back to the supermaket and bought a regular package of just minced pork and beef meat. Put them on fry in...

    Romanian cuisine

    The end result looked much or less like Bolognese and I kept carrying it to the end, hoping after cooling down it'll get better: It didn't. I would almost vomit even from smelling the stuff, let alone eating it. Worst. Idea. Ever. Boiled Ćevapi.
