This morning, I had what must be the best strudel of my life. Fresh out of the oven, melting in my mouth. Simple pleasures. Since I am really embarrassed about my poor Bulgarian language skills, I decided to ask Lachko to tell me how to thank the pastry shop ladies during my next visit. So here it is:

Saturday's strudel was very tasty: Съботният щрудел беше много вкусен.
"Subutnyat shtrudel beshe mnogo vkussen"

Try saying that to a $tarBuck$ barista next time you purchase a $5 latte and $3 muffin! By the way, the cost for a pitka (small round loaf of bread), the strudel, and a "Френско Руло" (Frenchka Roulo - what we call a sticky bun) was $0.85.
