All good things must come to an end. Later this evening, Karel's mom will be boarding a plane to travel from Charlotte to London to Prague. For the past (almost) 3 months, Karel's mom has been feeding us well. Our freezer is now packed with leftovers and extras - just in case we need a bit of her home cooking. We also have several tupperware containers of Xmas cookies (that we may have already gotten into :-)
Although you can't smell the yumminess, I wanted to share some of the delicious meals, treats and eats that we have enjoyed over the past few months. Many of our meals were vegetarian but with a few traditional dishes, Karel's mom would make me a vegetarian version so that Karel could enjoy the original dish (with meat). She got really good cooking with tofu and vegetarian "meat" so she could recreate the traditional Czech dish for me to enjoy.
Over the past few months, our lunch has been our "big" meal of the day (as that's typical where Karel grew up in Znojmo, Czech Republic) and the afternoon is often the time where we get to enjoy some type of homemade treat and coffee. I think we should hold on to this traditional style of eating! From bread crumbs to broth, almost everything was as homemade as it gets. We went through a lot of flour, butter, eggs and milk!
(All of the meal pics are mine - so they are all vegetarian ;)
