EuroTrip '08 - Belgrade, Mom's cooking is the best in the world

Nothing better than coming back home after a long time (13 years since my last visit), seeing my family and eating Mom's food:

Matzo-ball soup for Passover:

Beef and bone marrow - I dug it out of the bone and salted it:

The best chocolate/walnut torte in the world. It takes about two days to fix and is very rich. I had it every birthday when I was a kid, and also every time when I cam back home from travels. This time included:
