Kluski z Truskawkami. Runner-Up in A Taste of Home Challenge.
Environment, politics and economy shape not only what we choose to eat, but also what we can. I left Poland as a young child. It was still under communist rule at that time and shortages marked every day of everyone’s life. When people heard that meat would arrive at the butcher shop the retired grandparents would line up, and often camp out, in line in front of the store until it did. As soon as one family heard through the grapevine that there was a shipment coming to the store, grandma or grandpa would secure the family’s spot in line. Once people noticed one grandma in front of the store, news would spread and the other grandparents would rush out to join. You had to be quick. There was rarely anything good left for the last one in line.

Family Traditions Remain As Families Change
You probably know what the "holiday blues" are. Well, when I returned from a week in Greece not so long ago, I think what I experienced was the "depression". Despite how dramatic and privileged this sounds, I felt a happiness during that week that I had not felt for a very long time. It was like an existential release that, when I came down from such a high and back into routine, morphed into an existential crisis. I had not realised how bad things had gotten until I took a step back from it. My soul felt empty, and my stomach definitely was as I could not form an appetite the entire following day. The daylight was beginning to dim and I emerged from my bed to find a large pot of soupa avgolemono resting on the stove with open arms. It took me months to return to neutral ground after hitting such a low. Though, for that short while as I slurped on a bowl of soup watching the television, I felt comfortable.

Irish Tea, American Girl
My first sip of black tea was taken at an Irish bed and breakfast table. That taste was accompanied by the sweeping view of a 200 year old sheep farm's fields. Its owner welcomed me through the home’s big red front door and ushered me to the dining room where a steaming kettle sat as a centerpiece. Various soda breads and thick Irish cheeses were pushed my way. Milk was poured lightly into my cup. The light swirl turned the darkened water creamy and welcoming. Welcoming — that’s tea in a word.
