Uncle Eddy I love you

August 25th my Uncle Eddy died.  He was 80 years old and shared the same birthday as my grand daughter Zora.  He lived a long life and was survived by four children seven grandchildren one sister and many who loved him.  He was a hand full.  I was estranged from him for much of my life but I loved him dearly.  He was a complex man.  A Korean War Vet and a lover of symphony.  He loved flowers and "The Ruba'iyat of Omar Khayyam" was his favorite book.  But his sense of humor could wound you.  I love you Uncle Eddy.

I am a vegetarian now so in honor of Ed here is the Czech dish we celebrate.  Ed loved pork sauerkraut dumplings but we favor PEACH DUMPLINGS!

This is Grandma Maries's recipe:
1 1/2 oz butter
1 egg
1tsp salt
3 oz cottage chesse
2 cups flour
1/2 cup milk
dash of vanilla
PEACHES

BREAD CRUMBS
BROWN SUGAR
COTTAGE CHEESE
CINNAMON
MELTED BUTTER

Mix everything.  Roll out dough on floured board cover peaches (not to thick).  Cover with wet cloth for some time then place in boiling water for 20 minutes.   Serve with rest of ingredients!  Yum!

Love you Uncle Ed!
