Dobrú chuť!

Today is a pretty monumental day in Slovakia. Matt and I made bryndzové halušky, the national dish. It is potato dumplings with sheep's cheese and bacon bits. I wanted to be sure we were prepared, so we tried it in a restaurant this weekend, and I asked my classes for advice. We had to make a dough out of finely shredded potatoes and flour. We made a mess of the kitchen, but the final result looked and tasted like it should. Not many foreigners appreciate the strong taste of sheep's cheese, but I think it's great. What a delicious day!

nice finish Matt... word. I think you should introduce Rocky Mountain oysters to your class. I'm sure they will find them equally delish.
