I don't speak Slovenian, except for a few phrases my parents used (which were probably phrases not meant for children's ears). I do have a lovely Slovenian cookbook in English. Do you know of any? They'd have to be translations.Gradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17526750467742207099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160223532207347025.post-56962046302520776052012-07-19T17:04:57.209-04:002012-07-19T17:04:57.209-04:00A lovely story.

The Christmas Trees were flat, not conical, and were on sticks. At the time, I thought they were they best, most ingenious things I had ever seen. And they were so delicious I remember them still. I wonder where Uncle Frank (my cousin's grandfather) found them. I've never seen them since he used to bring them.Gradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17526750467742207099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160223532207347025.post-66308506601932423962012-06-03T13:10:26.832-04:002012-06-03T13:10:26.832-04:00She DOES sound like a wonderful cousin--and I love...She DOES sound like a wonderful cousin--and I love the sound of the chubby priest, and of your family, cracks in the pottery and all.
