Meat stuffed peppers / ČUFTE I PAPRIKE

I'd originally intended to have another blog just to post my Croatian food recipes, but I've been offered the opportunity to publish one of my art poems series but with just the text. So I'm waiting to hear back if I will have permission to publish my art poem series without the text, to be made public when the print publication is released. So this is also a temporary post if that doesn't work out.
