On Wednesday the students in my documentary film seminar invited me to one of their homes for a farewell dinner. Ours was a small class, so we got to know one another through the semester. Thanks to Réka for hosting. To Ádam, Lili, Márton, and Réka – my sincere thank you for a delightful semester and an awesome going away dinner. We made galuska together – so I see now how to make these tasty homemade noodles. I guarantee I’ll be cooking these back home. A wonderful dinner – topped off by Lili’s special dessert. Yummie. And, of course, there was a little wine drinking. And, most of all, great conversation and laughs – and more wine drinking. We certainly got to know one another even better after this evening. Well, if these students represent the future of Hungary – then Hungary has a bright future. The thanks these students gave me was really touching – a beautiful thank you card – and they even gave me a sealed card for February 6th – my Hungarian name day!!! So I shall look forward to the day I can open that card. And I take home with me many fond memories of this class. Here’s a look at cooking galuska
