Upon reflection...

I decided that ONE post for 2 WEEKS worth of touring is not enough. Therefore, I am devoting one whole post to the food we tried while there. Yes. That is very characteristic of me. I'm glad you've been paying attention.

This was my Ahi Tuna at Chez Marcel in Prague. It was SOOOOO GOOOOOOD. They also gave me hearts of palm, which are one of my favorite things.



In honor of July 4th, we went to a place called ALFA to get RIIIIIIBS. Look at this platter! They only came in 1/2 and full Kilos. Wow. There were lots of great sauces, potatoes, and bread too. We were all stuffed at the end. There were Americans, Danish, French, English, and Slovaks present. What a way to celebrate.



This is me buying some fresh veggies and fruits at the market that is right across from my house. The people are super nice, and were enthralled by the fact that we were American, and that I have been working here. They told me my Slovak pronunciation was good. Ultimate compliment, since it came from someone I didn't even buy goods from.



Preparing the food in my NEW KITCHEN!



At Hotel Sacher, looking forward to what was coming...



And we have!!! Wieners with house-made horseradish and dijon mustard. Spare me the jokes please. They were good, and we will leave it at that.



The famous Sacher Torte. Imitated, but never duplicated. It has been enjoyed by 4 generations of my family in that very spot :)



Gnocchi (self explanatory)



Grilled Goat Cheese at Mezzo Mezzo. The had run out of Bryndze...which is completely inexcusable since we were IN SLOVAKIA, and they could have just gone to TESCO. I may write a strongly worded email...especially because we were sitting there for 2 HOURS for a LUNCH. Ridiculous.



Satay. Tasty.

I cannot travel again until I lose the 5 pounds per country we have visited.
