Pickle Soup or Zupa Ogorkowa (google translate to learn how to say that ;) )

With the holidays coming up, Easter and such I thought back to the beautiful Easter eggs painted for Polish holidays. What talent!

just found this website with pickle soup. or in polish zupa ogorkowa. What does that have to do with Easter eggs? Nothing, i got side tracked thinking about making soup...

 Being part polish and hungarian I just decided to start researching that portion of my family tree a bit more. The best part of research is holiday customs, and great new recipes that are pretty affordable to create on a tight budget. they say kids love it. cannot wait to try it. seems fairly inexpensive to make and would go great with cheese biscuits fresh from the oven. 

So glad to have found so many recipes and webpages with great things to try! not sure about testing my skills painting detailed easter eggs yet though...that may have to wait just a little bit longer..

I do not get credit for sharing this link, and do not claim creation of the following link. I would like to thank the author however, for all the wonderful foods to try! http://www.agataspolishrecipes.com/zupa-ogorkowa-1.html

wish me luck!

you know that old saying luck o the irish be with you? well i am part irish and my luck held out today. me and my sweet littl e 2 year old grand daughter Evelyn Liliana made chocolate cake. at first she ran off with the bag of cake mix and i followed her. i pictured her ripping open the powder mix all through the hallway and spending the day cleaning up the wood floor but alas! that did not happen.

we were in luck and continued making our cake.

(she helped by watching fascinated to see how we turned stuff into chocolate cake -she really wanted to hold the eggs when we started but i decided more against that than for it-;))

all said and done we were both pretty happy with the results of our hard work.
