Easter

For Easter the Czechs and one Latvian drove to Chicago for reunion with Chicago Czechs :]Actually, the main reason was, that Voparilovi (former graduate from Bradley and his wife) are moving back to Prague for good. We wanted to say bye.

Czech "kolace" we baked with Marketa for Easter. Well, it was a half day job! But tasted really good. At least everybody said so.





The highlight was "kolac" with poppy seeds since it is hard to get in the USA. Americans allege that it causes you some halucination states.





Kolace kolace....












Little bonus in the end....Roman in pink :]
