Well, we went to a Fred Meyer today and found general purpose flour and passed on the wheat flour; I didn't read this note from you until late tonight. This...
Ben: Yes, there is an intermediate class. I probably should have signed up for that one as the book they are using at home for my Slovak Class is the same and...
The Polish deli that I shop at sells Vegeta in 3 different size cans. I'd also check any Croatian or Serbian shops near you, they'll sell it too... Have to...
THIS sounds like so much fun!!!!!! I think that Milka and I really resembled these people when we came back over- except I had a one up- I was "born and...
It is interesting to me how language starts to become automatic, as Ben describes. You realize, after a time, it just comes to you. I'm a piano teacher, and...

Ahoj everyone... Anyone in the Baltimore/DC Metro area, I've just gotten back from the Polish Deli in the Broadway Market in Baltimore. They have BRYNDZA! It's...
That doesn't surprise me. I happen to love Baltimore. That's the port to which my grandparents immigrated, and it has a strong Czech/Slovak presence. Nice...

Back to the world of Mak... Ch. 5 and 6 advance Jozo's life considerably. One annoying feature of this story is that people don't just speak their minds,...
Just curious, do you know if Bryndza is anything similar to Bulgarian Feta? Picked up some fresh, brine-packed, Bulgarian Feta a few days ago at a large...
The imported feta from Bulgaria that I get at Euro Greetings, in Pittsburgh, is the closest thing I could find to bryndza. It's very good. You are right...

From my Bulgaria experience, they have the second best feta (Greeks have the best!) in the world, but it still ain't bryndza. I mean, first the bryndza is...
Because of the Pacific influence we have many, many oriental and Pacific Island peoples, not much for Central European. Russians form a small community,...
Actually, it has/had a great Czech community with their own church. Unfortunately, with the mass exodus to the suburbs, the church is now 99% minority but...
If these stores can import Bulgarian feta, they can import Bulgarian bryndza. The "Persian Market" near where I live (in northern VA) carries both. It may be...
I just returned from Europe, not Slovakia, but interestingly enough, was surrounded by Slovaks! From Amsterdam to Budapest on a Vantage cruise, a Slovak...
"She noted I said zeli for cabbage and in Slovak it's kapusta, as she showed me in her dictionary." That brought back a fond memory of my late father. Zeli...

Hi Julie, Sounds like you had a great trip. I had a similar encounter with the Maitre'd on a boat turned hotel. We had supper which we paid for. But by the...

Thanks for these summaries, Zuzka. Things have suddenly gotten busy here at work, but I'm trying to keep up, reading both the English and the Slovak. I've...
Dave!!! I go through long periods if silence - I'm like that...but I'm happy to see you're still in there! Still doing mine stuff? I'm planning a trip to...
