Picnic with the Sulejmani Family

Last Saturday Gezim, who works at the American Corner, and his wife Hanife, a student of mine, invited us to join them on a picnic at their new house which is currently being built on a hill overlooking Tetovo. Gezim's parents and relatives also joined us and made some amazing salads and grilled meat!





Gezim's mother and aunt also spent nearly 3 hours preparing a traditional Albanian dish called "fli". Gezim and Hanife's daughter, Besa, and I helped as well!



The final product:

Gezim asked Besa how much she likes "teacher Kacey" and she responded with, "Shume!! -- A lot!!" Then she was asked how much she likes Conor and again she replied, "Shume!!"
