Tocăniţă, plum brandy and good bye…
October 7, 2009
Cosmin Motei, a friend of Calin’s from Romania, came to Columbia a few weeks ago to shoot this year’s Missouri Photo Workshop. We had a terrific time with him and I can’t wait to go and see him in Bucharest. On his last day, he and Calin invited a couple of people over for a traditional Romanian dish called Tocăniţă (pronounced Toh-ka-NI-tsa), an incredibly tasty and filling stew sort of food. I was a little sick that night, so I couldn’t stay as long as I would have wanted, but it was great seeing Cosmin before he left and sharing a delicious meal with all of them.
Note: There are no pictures of the food as we were all too busy eating it…
Note the enamored look with which the Bavarian expat spots his beloved Weißbier…

And enter Vivian and Michelle!
The usual playing around with the camera, photographing in mirrors and stuff. Photographers are terrible nerds…
I just love this picture. Calin fires Cosmin up for an interview about his experience in the States that he was going to give to a Journalism student from New Zealand.
And then of course we had to watch Benny Lava, the best Indian Dance Video ever…
