Zuzka and I were assigned to "parsley patrol"...I told the family I had never really seen the "business end" of parsley, but had only ever dealt with the green-parts. Oh, it was fun to see their faces when I told them the prices at which parsley greens were sold back home!
In keeping with the tradition of lovely -and filling- Saturday lunches, Mamma Muchalova and Zuzka made perogies -did I spell that correctly?- and it was delicious!
The filling is made from potatoes and Bryndza -"like" but not cheese - it is fantastic!
The filling is spooned out onto dough made from potatoes, flour, and water... and then cut and pressed into individuals..
The servings are cooked in water...when I asked how long, the answer was "Until they float to the top." Kind of like cooking shrimp, huh?!
A picture of the final products...aren"t they talented? Perogies are served with cream and bacon. And it tastes even better than it looks. Oh my!

Yum, perogies. If it's not "real" cheese, is it some sort of soy cheese? Do they eat a lot of cheese in Slovakia? More importantly, do they eat a lot of chocolate? (European chocolate is so darn tasty.)
Snow forecasted for Salt Lake this weekend. Winter, here we come!
Love, L
