My husband had a lovely time last night at a rock and roll party near his Czech-based sister's house. He wrote that he talked to about "25 old friends" as well as many of their adult children. This is precisely what he needed. We've both felt so isolated where we are in CZ. Our original plan was to have the support of friends and family in CZ, but our location and other circumstances (related to covid-19) have prevented this. It was probably for the best that he be there alone this time. I'm OK with it, plus I'm more of an introvert than him. He didn't mention his eldest sister, who lives in Germany. If she was already there, my assumption is that he avoided her. I told him to, if she and her husband are obnoxious (which they usually always are). Hubby is staying with the Czech-based sister, with whom he and I are quite close. That sister told the older one that her house was full, so that they would stay elsewhere. Tonight they will all go out for a dinner. I expect Hubby to return home to me sometime tomorrow (Saturday).

Yes, I ate too many cinnamon rolls. Oh well! It's not like I make them that often, and they are not available in Czech bakeries. I did have to find a Czech recipe, though, because Czech flours are different than US all-purpose. Plus, even the yeast and brown sugar are a bit different. It's been an adventure in baking here, but one I enjoy. Lots of research and mathematical calculations. I did tweak the recipe a bit to improve it, using homemade brown sugar. Baking is more of a science than cooking. Living in CZ has not affected my cooking much at all. Of the Czech I know, my culinary Czech is the best.
