So it's been a while.

Yes, I know, it has been a few months since I last posted. I apologize. I actually want to take a slightly new direction though. Recently, a close friend of mine interviewed me for a paper he had to write for class. Some of the questions really made me dive deep into my roots and realize that even though I like to think that I am Czech, I feel so separated from my heritage and I should reconnect with it.
One thing that the Czechs are really well known for is beer. But, that's not what I'm here to talk about.
I also just got a new phone so posts will be easier to write on the spot, etc.
What I really want to focus on now is Czech cooking and baking. This next month I will be home and have plenty of opportunity to cook all day and everyday. I can't promise to write a post everyday because I can't promise to cook something Czech everyday, but I will do my best to share what I learn and make either way. Then in August, I am flying to the Czech Republic and will have any and every opportunity to cook stuff there and show how we eat there. I want to show the supermarkets, the restaurants, the bars (into which I can finally go, well I could before but I haven't been there really since I turned 18), how we cook at home, and how families cook and interact.
I want this blog to turn into something where you see real people smiling and consuming good food.
Hope to see you all when I restart blogging next week. :)
