Disappeared Fast

The 2 of us who are of Croatian Descent in this Little Home made Povitica December 22. It is tradition to make it at this Season. The Povitica Making took 8 hours and had 3 Fillings: Cheese, Walnut and Apricot. All 3 Fillings would have been traditional to my Grandmother Dora. Melanie cut down on the Sugar some for the Fillings. That has become our custom for Sweets these days. Richard kept an eye on the proceedings from behind the lens of the Camera.

We were not exactly sure when we would make it. But we received some extra "umpht" for our Povitica Making for a window of time. The Family Gathering on my side just found a time to connect. That's a big deal considering the complexity of schedules at this season. Knowing that my Brother and his Family, Mother, and the 3 C's would be getting together to celebrate Christmas December 23 gave us that extra push.

Making Povitica just invites sharing. Beyond my Family, we wanted to be sure to give some to Louise, a lovely Elder, Treasure, and quite the Historian of my Father's Vintage. And we won't forget Marie. She is also of that Vintage. While Italian in heritage, she married a man who was 1st generation born to Croatian Immigrants. Marie also became a Povitica maker. Circumstances don't permit that for her these days.

After the big push of Povitica Making on Monday, we 3 C's let the Povitica cool overnight. What you see above did not last long in that version of completeness. We had to dive right to make sure it was up to standard. And it was. Considering all the special sharing, that Povitica disappeared fast.
