"Aimee stood behind the wine bar. For the old men, she poured water into red to make bevanda, and for the women sparkling into white to make gemišt. In the kitchen, Josie formed chivapis from ground lamb and beef and pork and Renee made a blitva of potatoes and greens. Clint and Mike ferried chairs for their babas and djeds and my husband and I stood there, mesmerized, surrounded by family of a kind we knew we’d never have."

"There was no running. They were the human race and I was the nature in their path."

~K. Gardiner, Little Wonder

In addition to the beverage descriptions, felt drawn to the intersection of idealized lost Pacific Northwest paradise and tasty Croatian food.
