Hungary

Hungary is the birthplace of one of the most popular toys in history: the Rubik’s Cube. The land-locked country located in central Europe also is largely responsible for the popularization of paprika and the dish we call ‘goulash.’ Ironically, the dish we call ‘goulash’ is not the traditional Hungarian dish called ‘gulyas.’ Gulyas is a hearty beef and vegetable soup that was a long-time staple among Hungarian herdsmen. What we refer to as ‘goulash’ is actually another Hungarian dish called ‘Porkolt’ -- beef and potatoes stewed in beef stock with sour cream and tomato paste and seasoned generously with paprika. It is often served with noodles. It would be a shame to be limited to these dishes, however, when talking about Hungarian cuisine. Csirkepaprikas (Chicken Paprikash), Kolbasz (paprika-seasoned sausage), Pecsenye (pork steak with cabbage), and Palacsinta (stuffed pancakes) all enjoy popularity among Hungarians.

Olive Chicken II

Reviewed on Sep. 5, 2008 by Brooke

It smelled great, but lacked flavor. I don't know that I would make it again, but if I did I would probably consider using two cloves of chopped garlic and frying the chicken with them. Later, I would add the other ingredients minus the broth and just add a 1/2 chicken bouillon cube and a little bit of water. 45 minutes was too long, I'm sure it would have been fine after 20min. Good luck, I hope you can pull more flavor out of your dish than mine had!

To Die For Blueberry Muffins

Reviewed on Sep. 4, 2008 by Brooke

These were great and I'll make them again. I didn't use the entire topping because although I'm sure it's delicious, they were just as good with a bit less sugar on top. I may even leave it off the next time.
