Macedonia (aka the The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia) joined the UN on April 8th, 1993. The first thing I learned about Macedonia is that a 90% of their meals include some type of feta cheese.
Ok, so maybe that's not true, but it was for this dinner!
This was our first Friday dinner. In order to allow for people to "decompress" after work, we scheduled it for 8pm. In order to compensate for that unusually late dinner (my normal is 6pm at the latest) I had a pre-dinner meal, but it didn't help much once everyone started cooking. Especially since everything had feta in it. Mmmmmmm, feta!
It was a fairly calm dinner. I prefer when it gets rowdy. I blame Friday. But, it was good!
Between the hunger and the tired, I don't think anyone was very careful about making sure we got good pictures. We managed to piece together enough of a thought to take two pictures. One of my plate:

| Clockwise starting at 12: Cheese Dip, Shopska Salata, Burek, and Mamaliga in the middle. |
I was too hungry and tired to try again. That and it was a new phone and I didn't know how to turn on the flash. We're only smiling because we're finally getting to eat. Notice that one of us couldn't smile very well as his mouth was already full.
Now that I think about it, this was the best selfie ever.
