Essen Sie!  Ok, that's German, but my translator did not have Hungarian! Eat! 
I tried my first oyster on the half shell at two years old, and have enjoyed food ever since. I want to share some of my family stories and recipes. Pass the lemon and the crackers please! I have a plate of oysters to finish....

Cold January Day
It's a cold January day in Georgia.  It's 9:30 am and the temperature is 27F.  I've not even had my morning coffee and I am already thinking about what to make for dinner!  Am I the only person that wakes up thinking about stuffed cabbage leaves?  I've not made them since last winter, but they certainly are a warming dish.   I was thinking if I could make a kind of stuffed cabbage lasagna style, using the cabbage leaves instead of the pasta.  This is something I will have to think on today. Let's see.... cabbage leaves, ground sirloin/veal/pork mixture mixed with onion, garlic and tomato sauce.  I'm wondering if it needs a sour cream/creme fraiche layer mixed with fresh dill.  Perhaps just layers of cabbage, and meat sauce for now.  I can always top it with a sour cream dill sauce.  I may just give it a go.  Don't know if I want to spend the time rolling up the individual leaves today. Yes, my dinner is set.  Now, I need to find a good bakery with some fresh pumpernickel bread to serve with it.  Off to find my Hungarian cookbook to get a few more variations on herbs and spices to use.  Caraway, Dill, ... those are a given for me.  A nice cucumber salad will compliment it nicely.
