palacsinta!?!?!?! I'm 1/2 Hungarian, too! I was just in Budapest in December, in fact! Who is in your family - you or your husband? Or both? Or neither! We make fruit or chestnut cream palacsinta often on weekends, and my dad always makes ricotta/lemon rind/walnut palacsinta on Christmas morning and usually when I go home to visit!

OMG!!! Can you send me the recipe for the ricotta and walnut filling you use? My grandmother's recipe is unreadable now, and anyway it calls for weird things that you can't find. I think it either says to make farmer's cheese, or get it from one set of neighbors or it won't be right... (You'd be surprised -- all too many of her recipes have things like, "beat with a wooden spoon until it's the right consistency." OK, so the world would be thrown off its axis if we used a metal spoon? Or a fork?)

That probably tells you which side is from Hungary, right? Don't even ask, since I don't speak it, beyond the few phrases we all heard growing up. None of which can be used in polite company...

Cool beans! Great to meetcha, whereabouts are your folks from? My Grandfather came from Buda, and my grandmother's family is from Nyiregyhaza -- although, I think it was just outside, in the countryside around there. Dunno...

OK. That's hardly about weight loss. How about this? "If you grow up eating krumpli leves and paprikas, how can you expect to lose weight?"
