Czech Cooking Class (Prague, CZ)

Yesterday was the Czech Cooking Class. We made horse radish jam, pickled cheese, chicken paprika and LOTS of tiny poppy seed cookies. Everything was delicious. It was a great class and the attendees got to fill their bellies and bring home their creations. It was a fun night of cooking.

Tereza and Honza's Wedding (Trebic, CZ)

The last wedding I went to was two weeks ago and it was a VERY small event.  This wedding (18.7) was completely different. As soon as we arrived to the groom's house to take the bus to the Dalešice Brewery, we were welcomed with shots of jager.  Then a tour sized bus came to take us to the location.  Once at the brewery, we were welcomed with more shots.  There were a LOT more people than the last wedding and the alcohol was flowing.  The weather wasn't the best so the ceremony had to be held indoors.  Then we went into the dinning hall for lunch.  The food was nice.  Next we went on a tour for the brewery.  A couple weeks prior I watched the Czech movie, Postřižiny, that was filmed at the brewery.  It was interesting to be able to walk around the area and see different sections of the place.  Then it was time for a second round of food and pictures.  At the end there was a lot of dancing.  It was a very fun wedding and I couldn't believe that we left the house at 11:15 am and arrived back at 3am.  It was a very long day, but very fun day! Congrats Tereza and Honza!!!!
