We had gourmet club on

We had gourmet club on Saturday. Since we were bringing the main dish, we got to pick the cuisine and decided on Czech. I always wanted to make my favorite Czech dish - pork roast, sauerkraut and bread dumplings - but never quite had the right opportunity. As it turned out, making pork roast is completely trivial and sauerkraut wasn't much more difficult, either. The dumplings were a breeze, too, but that's because I had a mix that I bought last time we were in Prague. I'll need to ask for more of it for Christmas. So it took me over a decade to discover that I can easily make my favorite dish! Now that I know, I should make it as frequently as the wienerschnitzels that I also occasional create.

For the dinner, Suzan and Ken made appetizers and a very interesting sour cherry soup. John made kolatches for dessert - apparently he spend the entire day making them - and they were absolutely fabulous. Much better than the ones you get in West.

Next time it's going to be Scandinavian food. Lutefisk anyone?
