PayPerPost

I had signed up for payperpostprogram and I am very excited to work with them and earn a lot of money. I heard about it from a friend of mine. She was writing posts for payperpost for about couple of months, and I was really amazed how much money she had earned. She said that there is a website which pays you for writing posts, and posting them on your website. This seemed to me a great idea, and a good way of getting paid for what you like to do. As payperpost has an affiliate program, my friend gave me her affiliate link and I had immediately registered there. As my blogs were not fitting the requirements of payperpost at that moment, I had to work on them and make them look good and fit the conditions. In couple of weeks I had submitted another blog and they had approved it. Now I am very thankful to my friend which told me about payperpost program. I think it is amazing, because it gives the chance for a lot of people to earn a lot of money, to do what is easiest for them to do, to use their heads and in the end have a lot of fun.

That's why I like to cook them, because there is now need these days to make them by yourself. You can by the in the market.
The super was consisting of cirnaciori, potatoes and vegetables.

The vegetables as you can see, are frozen. You can buy them in every market. All you have to do is to boil them for 10 min. Which I did for the first time in my life.

The Cirnaciori are also frozen, i cooked them in the microwave oven for 12 min. There is a red stuff on them, which surprised my, never seen something like that. They are probably using something additionally in order to make them look more attractive.
In the end this is what I got. That's a very colorful picture. You can see some broccoli there. But in Moldova we don't have this American tradition to eat broccoli. And we don't raise it.

About Moldvavian Cuisine

I found today a very nice description of Moldavian Cuisine, by a tourist who had the opportunity to taste all those tasty things in Moldova, in a local family who invited him. Taken from here.

"The food consisted of lots of cheeses, small breads, whole small fishes on bread with cheese, smoked fish with Moldovan pevo(beer), a variety of very nice Moldovan, Ukrainian, and Romanian wines, stuffed peppers with sour cream, salads of chopped vegetables, dumplings stuffed and served with garlic sauce, homemade liquors of different berries and fruits. ... We ate this amazing pork to which the likes I have never tasted again I inquired to how this meat tasted so good, and the reply was, they feed their animals in Moldova better food than America and the marinating process is also very important. I will try to get this recipe in order to attempt it one day myself and share....My stay in Moldova was surreal, exciting, and made wonderful by the type of people who live there. If you ever have the fortune to stay in a Moldovan’s Home, you are very lucky and will be well fed by way of very delicious food. There is a minimal American influence, which I really enjoyed, the culture is unique. The hospitality was amazing and is highly recommended by me"

I think it is very beautiful, the person described his impressions about being in Moldova. And I'm sure that everyone else would feel the same.
