Oooo @tiny 2 hard woods! That sounds beautiful esp with those rugs!

I'm glad you don't have to rush to get out ! I only had to do that once with this last house.

It sure tripled the stress level.

Being able to take your time is great!

Bread Dumplings (Knedliky) and Cabbage (Zeli) from My Bohemian Mother-in-Law
Bread Dumplings (Knedliky)            From my mother-in-law, Ann Cordes          Serves 6

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup warm water
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon kosher salt
4 slices of dry or stale white bread, cut into small cubes (about 2 cups)

In a large mixing bowl, blend together the flour, baking powder, water, eggs and salt. Add the cubed bread and blend thoroughly (a flexible plastic scraper is helpful for mixing the dough). Using floured hands, form the dough into 2 logs about 6 inches long (the dough will be a little sticky – do the best you can and remember these are rustic dumplings).

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Drop the logs into the rapidly boiling water (not the whistling teapot – Ann’s note!) and boil for 20 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to gently turn the dumplings over a few times so they cook evenly.

Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon to a plate. You can eat the dumplings right away, or chill overnight. The texture improves if made ahead and chilled so I recommend this method. When the dumplings are cool, wrap in plastic tightly and chill overnight.

When ready to serve, use a serrated knife to slice into 3/4 inch slices. Warm the dumplings in a steamer. I also warm by wrapping the sliced logs in foil and placing them in the same pot with the roast beef I am reheating.    Serve with cabbage (recipe follows) and a roast with lots of meat juices.

Bohemian Cabbage (Zeli)     From my mother-in-law, Ann Cordes   Serves 6-8

1 medium onion, chopped
Vegetable oil for sautéing onion (Ann used duck fat)
1 1/2 pounds green cabbage, shredded
1 cup water
1 teaspoon caraway seeds (or more to taste)
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 cup white vinegar
Salt to taste

In a large pot, heat the oil and add the onion. Saute onion over medium heat until soft and beginning to brown. Add the cabbage, water, caraway seeds, sugar and vinegar. Simmer and stir for about 20 minutes, adding some salt and tasting along the way.

Spoon into a serving bowl and serve with the dumplings.

  @RespectLife   AH HA!!! Sneaky @momtochloe ,LOLLOLLOL! Ok, so which one to go with the dill gravy????

SNORT! . . . oh gosh @tiny 2 , I am not holding out on you but as @RespectLife can attest, my recipe filing system needs some work so I have a tendency to cast my net so to speak when I can't find something. At this point I am completely confused as to recipes but I can tell you the one that doesn't include yeast will be denser but does not effect the taste. I prefer these as I make such a small amount so yeast becomes tricky but the fluffier ones are lovely. And I highly recommend the Zeli, I am having it today!

Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their Christmas Eve. I just got through putting away the last run at groceries which included something called Mason Dixie biscuits and for those that don't/can't/won't bake, they are a delight!

Enjoy your day my friends and Merry Christmas Eve!

@momtochloe, Thank you! I will try soon. Merry Christmas !!! Having hot coffee and a Honey Bun. I'm splurging on the honey buns from now until New Years

@tiny 2 HONEY BUNS, you go girl! So glad those weren't caught up in any supply chain issues . . .

My holiday splurge were those bacon wrapped stuffed turkey breasts that QVC offered (which I was lucky to purchase as an OTO). It cooked to perfection in that new air fryer, I actually giggled when I came back in from grabbing my groceries as I was like "hey, good whiffs!" . . . you know, like an adult lives here . . .

@momtochloe , I have 16. That should hold me and I will worry about the consequences Jan 2. LOL. I have lost about 22 lbs. during the pandemic so if I get a little chunky before then I will just worry later. There is also a cheesecake and chocolate silk pie and puff pastry apple turnovers made for my family.

@tiny 2 16 you say? . . . I think we all know math is not my strong suit but according to my calculations you are spot on for the holiday season my friend!

And gosh wait wut, 22 pounds? I hope it's because of choices you made and not choices you have had to make if that makes sense. That's a lot of weight my friend and I know you have daily physical challenges. I so hope you are doing well, feeling good, looking forward to moving into your new place that hopefully will have sufficient pantry space for those honey buns! . . .

And oh gosh I buried the lede, you made all of those yummy desserts?

@momtochloe, I made several cheesecakes for people in the neighborhood, 6 pound cakes, tons of gravy for Thanksgiving. One of my neighbors had 56 people and I made their gravy and desserts. I swear nobody around here knows how to cook. I have been making gravy for people for many years. I start my stocks early and then make it when the time comes. They leave what I need on the porch. I do not do their shopping for them.

Regarding the weight loss I'm fine. After DH died I just did not have much appetite and in summer tend to eat more vegetables when they are fresh. Honey buns require back up jus in case something happened to some of them. HEE HEE
