I woke up this morning to a torrential thunderstorm and I lay in bed, trying to return to sleep, counting the seconds between the flashes of lightening and the answering thunder.

I’m now eating homemade graham crackers dipped in tea, a perfect rainy day breakfast, or any day breakfast if you ask me. They’re very crisp and stand up much better to the heat of the tea than do wimpy store bought ones, which pretty much turn to mush the moment they touch hot liquid.

Despite being a member of a generation (generation y? I think that’s what they call us) that’s supposed to be all about the internet and all over myspace and facebook and youtube and who knows what else, I didn’t start reading blogs until about a year ago (as a testament to how backwards I am, my mom has had a blog for a few years already). Stuck in a boring office job, catering to two egotistical architects, I needed a way to get through the day, and reading food blogs became the answer. I have since left that job and started grad school to become an ESL/EFL teacher. Now that I’m on summer vacation and unfortunately ungainfully unemployed, I thought I should start contributing to the blogosphere rather than just consuming it. I imagine that this blog will be mostly about food and what goes on in my kitchen, with perhaps a few diversions into other territory, we’ll see how it goes.

[Kisa je (pronounced roughly kisha yay, there should be a little "v" over the s) means "it's raining" in Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian (or BCS, though I'll just call it Bosnian, because it is the sibling tongue I hear the most often). Kisa is also the title of a book I have sitting near me, a bilingual book of Croatian poetry by Arsen Dedic that my friend Dalan lent me to improve my Bosnian skills. It's still pretty slow going, I can say it's raining but cannot say that the sun has come out. I can say that the dog is not a person, but I'd have a hard time describing either a person or a dog.]
