Is that even a word? I don't care! What's happening in your neck of the woods?

A good memory I have with my grandma was making peach dumplings with her. This is a popular dish in the Czech world. When I was little we had a peach tree in our yard too. Since I bought some peaches on vacation, I invited over my parents and sister to make them today! I want to carry on the tradition and have my girls remember making them with their grandma! I will insert a pic later if I remember to take some. ETA: the last picture is how I like to eat it with browned butter and bread crumbs on top!

Oh fun! That is awesome you have such wonderful memories with your Grandma and are getting to pass that on to your kids.

Yo. I am seriously dragging. It's been several days I just can't feel rested and I am not sure why. I might take an iron supplement to see it that helps.

We are getting new carpet in the bedrooms tomorrow so nap time needs to be spent getting some stuff done for that. We did a lot this weekend but there is stuff that we just had to wait to get off the carpet. Mainly our closet.

Do you have lowish iron normally? Could it be allergies or a little bug? Feel better soon! Hope you get few extra hours sleep (if posible)!

I have had low normal iron in the past and it wouldn't shock me if I am low. I know it won't hurt me to take it and I actually have some free supplements from the ob so I could take a weeks worth for free. Debating if that's enough to make a difference.

I don't feel sick and don't really have allergies, and no symptoms to make me think I am starting to have them.

Lol when I saw the first picture I couldn’t figure out why it was called a peach dumpling bc it looked like a ball of dough! Super cool!

[lilyelayne]

dreemkin would never have guessed you do the whole peach in a dumpling! I love family traditions!

aggiebug hope the iron helps. Yay for new carpet! Hope you got everything accomplished you needed to.

[dreemkin]

Yup a whole peach (preferably a free stone variety)! This is a very popular dish to get in a Czech or European restaurant. My H was confused by it too (he's never had one I guess). It is common to put cottage or ricotta cheese on it too to serve it but I think that's weird! The dough is the same dough used to make potato dumplings if anyone has ever had those. And you just boil them! The girls kind of lost interest but my mom, sister, and I had a fun time!

Love that tradition dreemkin! Such a neat thing to pass on to your girls.
