 Do you have 2 handles, Kc and Dark Canary?  Confused...

 Anyway, the haluske recipes are here!  Now these are authentic, no doubt
 about it, as they were my Czech grandmother's.  Hope you enjoy these
 recipes from the Mesarchik/Slifko clan!  If you get any Czech recipes, I'd
 sure love to see them.

 Version #1 - Haluske with Cabbage (pronounced "Halushke")

 Brown one chopped onion in lard or margarine.  (My grandmother would have
 used lard, but margarine's a little healthier:)  Chop about 3 cups of
 cabbage and add to the onion.  Fry slowly until brown and tender (about
 45 minutes), in a closed pan.  Stir occasionally.

 Meanwhile, cook approximately four peeled medium-sized potatoes which
 you've cut into small chunks.  While the potatoes are cooking, grate two
 other potatoes.  Add about one cup of flour to the grated potatoes.  The
 mixture should be soft and spongey.  Drop small amounts from a teaspoon
 into boiling water.  (Use a large kettle.)

 Cook dumplings until they rise to the top, plus five more minutes.  Drain
 well.  When potatoes and dumplings are done, combine them with the
 cabbage.  Add salt and pepper to taste.


 Version #2 - Haluske with Cottage Cheese

 Eliminate the cabbage in the above recipe, and the previous potato
 measurements.  Instead, grate two potatoes, add flour, and proceed with
 cooking as in Version #1.  Drain.

 Meanwhile, brown one stick of butter or margarine with one-half of a
 finely diced onion.  Watch the butter/oleo carefully, so that it doesn't
 burn.  It will begin to have very small bubbles on the surface when it's
 nearly done.  Remove from heat.  Pour over haluske.

 Add one cup of dry (farmer's?) cottage cheese or one cup drained regular
 cottage cheese.  Add a small amount of salt.

 Note:  Both recipes improve in flavor by refrigerating them for one day
 after they are prepared and before using.

 P.S. - Hi Mom! :-)  (My Mom doesn't know a lot about computers and asked
 that I not use her name in here, but I thought she'd get a kick out of a
 print out of our family recipes, and knowing that others got to enjoy
 them as well.)
