We just came back from spending Christmas with some friends. Our friend Ali is from Slovakia, and she made a huge Christmas Eve feast (apparently that is the 'bigger' day there). One of the traditional dishes she made is this... I don't even know what you'd call it; it's sort of like a bread pudding except it's made by pouring boiling water over chunks of bread that are sprinkled with ground poppy seeds and a touch of salt and sugar. It's unbelievably delicious, I know it probably doesn't sound it from the way I have described it, but I'm telling you, it's awesome. I think I am going to start making it a regular part of our Christmases as well, absorb it into our own new family traditions.

Random fact: my brother-in-law is a fish farmer. He raises abalone that he sells to fancy restaurants in California and Japan. Apparently it's not easy to farm abalone, so he makes a pretty decent living doing this. He and my sister live in a big trailer on the beach in CA, like Jim Rockford.
