We took a walk on the Esplanade today. It was a beautiful, warm September Sunday. Not quite fall yet, but it's been feeling that way with more rain and cooler nights.
The highlight of the day yesterday was our breakfast. Two friends of ours, Mia and James, brought us homemade Czech-style breakfast of dumplings, eggs and sauerkraut. I had never heard of sauerkraut mixed in with the traditional fried dumplings and eggs, but it tasted delicious!
James is an expert on Czech cuisine. He has Czech ancestry (and wears it proudly) and he has lived in the Czech Republic. Mia is Korean. She brought us Korean desert of sweet sticky rice with raisins, nuts and candied ginger, which complemented the dumplings perfectly of course.
Mia and James just recently announced that they are expecting a baby boy which we are very excited about. We are already making plans for our boys to form a gang together. Watch out Portland!The image on the right is of dumplings before they are boiled and served, or in the case of the dish we ate yesterday, fried with eggs. I stole the image from the internet.
