Dear Sarah, Hi, I'm a new subscriber. Your Croatian is amazing. The language is difficult even for many Croats. Never stop patting yourself on the back for that. And your family is adorable, I love how they all support what you do. I'd just edit the title of this a tiny bit because this applies more to TRADITIONAL homes. Older people, rural areas, etc. The population is 90% Catholic only on paper. In recent years, more and more people stray away from the Church and live in more modern homes, so you won't find crucifixes and stickers with saints in every home and the calendars/namedays aren't a huge thing either. I can't wait to see what you do next and thanks for loving our homeland as your own (I mean, it IS your homeland now too lol).

In Istra we have domestic Orahovac. It is made of unripe walnuts dissolved in rakija (rakiya) for 40 day, out of the house on the sun. People use it as drink for guests, and medicine for tummy (if it hurts).

Your Špek 🥓 has a lot of meat to it. Most of the Špek I come across has about a minimum of 90% fat, including the Špek I have in my fridge right now. As an Englishman who lives alone in Croatia, and rarely has visitors, I still have most of your list in my flat, including the four cup džezva - I know my measurements. Interestingly, Turkish coffee is not actually Turkish but Bosnian. The Turks 'cook' their coffee by putting the grinds in the pot before the water and heat the water and grinds at the same time, as you see Americans do in cowboy films. The technique of boiling the water first, then adding the coffee grinds to the freshly boiled water, then reboiling the water was developed in Bosnia. (Just an interesting fact about a misnamed technique.) I would say that you forgot honey. I don't think I've been in a Croatian home that didn't have honey. And most have homemade honey given by or bought from a friend, or friend of a friend. Honey, especially sweet 'blossom' honey goes perfectly with čaj od Šipka (Rosehip tea), and increases the antiviral effects of the rosehip tea.

The slippers are because most houses have tiles and they get pretty cold in the winter. Even today some houses have no heating, especially at the sea. So socks in slippers make sense😂

Hahahaha, you nailed it!! I'm Croatian and traditional homes trully have all what you mentioned, like the rosehip tea and don't forget camomile tea (!!). My grandma knows all the tea types and the purposes they serve for. She stores Napolitanke and Domaćice on her wardrobe in the bedroom and has hundreds of old blankets!! It's copy > paste, swear to God!! Speaking generally, modern generations are really different; they abandoned huge part of that tradition (lace on the table or on the tv -.-, what?) and have much modernised the interior. P. S. Your Croatian is really good. :) enjoy!
