Because of the incredible kindness of others, it's highly inaccurate to say I'm living off the economy. Along those lines, I've been eating so well it seems I'm filling out a bit... On the other hand, potatoes are 50¢/kilo and I love them, buy them often and eat them even more often.
Yesterday at lunch, there was a big deal about the soup. Everyone was like, "tell us how you like the soup, it's our favorite omgzIhadthreebowls!!!" I look into the tureen, see what look like Bob Evans big fat 'merican noodles, hear držký (try saying that!), and understand tripe. Alas, it was really good, I really liked it, and even had a second ladle. The second plate was macaroni and some cheese with bacon and potatoes -- amazing.
This weekend at Petra's I had some homemade bacon. There are few pleasures better.

Any of the soups you enjoyed called "machanka?" A slightly thin stew! (slightly thicker than the Spanish soup in my upper-Manhattan 'hood).
My mother used to make machanka (probably because her mother did) so I ordered it once on main-street Presov as an appetizer. Not smart. Had to force down a seafood entree called "halibut." Really? Halibut? Over-fished and served this far inland? I'm an easy con.
