Mitu beckons me out back, wants to give me a tour. The yard is full of
animals: sarcastic geese, nervous turkeys, ducks, cats, skinny dogs,
gossiping pigeons, and dozens of hens.
A huge wooden barrel squats near a fence, stained purple from grapes.
It looks like a giant plum. An ancient bathtub sits nearby, encrusted with
grey cement. In a small outhouse, Mitu proudly shows me a big wicker
basket full of big brown eggs.
Anna makes a superb lunch of
deep-fried
sheep's cheese, fried eggs,
mămăligă corn
porridge, succulent home-grown tomatoes, spicy pickles and crusty bread.
She serves it on their terrace, under a canopy of vines.
The sun dapples our plates as we eat. Birdsong echoes through high
trees all around. It's rural bliss, like sitting in the
Garden of Eden. Mitu pours big glasses of
purple wine, boasting how he had a good vintage last year.
