This week the cook, Pali is home sick and Kristen and I are in charge of the lunches here. I just have to say we are doing a very good job of cooking Slovak food on our own! Yesterday we had Tomato soup and Buchty, which was an easier meal. Buchty is a sweet lunch, and is best described as jam filled dumplings that are steamed. They then get some melted butter and kakao (cocoa) sprinkled on top. Today we made a more difficult meal. We had egg soup, knedla (steamed bread), red cabbage, and meat. We are so proud of ourselves because everything was just right and so good- We are practically Slovak cooks! Sme šikovné (We are skillful!) Here is a picture of today’s meal:
The red cabbage looks a little funny in the picture, but I can assure you it was very good and looked better in person!
Tomorrow we are planning on making Žemlovka, which is a sweet casserole with apples, cinnamon sugar, cut up rolls, and a mixture of egg yolks and milk. Friday we are planning on making Garlic soup and French potatoes. These are potatoes layered with hard boiled eggs, sausage, and an egg mixture with seasonings on top. As we are learning to cook these foods we are keeping the recipes so we can make a Slovak Recipe book to take home and share with everyone!
