Latvian stamps

Unfortunately due to my current accommodation I cannot participate in Postcrossing anymore, as I cannot receive letters. But a few postcards to my family and friends I have sent. I just want to share with you how unique stamps there are in Latvia.


Also just a few food pictures to show you I'm doing well as a vegetarian (semi-vegan, I'd even say although I know it's a profanation). But I'm doing my best to eat as little animal derived foods as it's possible. All of the dishes below are vegan:

A salad for breakfast
"Sandwiches" on zucchini
Tagliatelle with zucchini, spinach and tomato sauce
And a fun fact. A lot of traditional dishes in Latvia involve bread as a main ingredient. I knew about malt drinks, baked or fried garlic bread, but I was absolutely astonished by bread ice cream or ...

...sweet bread soup! Wow... it tasted really sweet due to the huge amount of caramel fruit, whipped cream and sugar.

Yours,
Kasia

  1. The stamps are super cute! And wow, the bread dishes look really interesting, kinda remind me of some beer things (like beer cake or beer pancakes) we have here. XD
