Dear Charles, dear all,
I have eaten the potato pancakes (whatever you call them) at Knaus in
Chernivtsi and they are very good, just like my mother and I make them.
If any of you will be in Czernowitz between Aug. 12 and Aug. 19, let's meet
one evening at Knaus for cold Borsht and hot potato pancakes with Schmetten.
And since we are writing and thinking about food; does anyone know how to
pickle beets?
Also, why did we pickle beets for Passover when all "Chumetz is forbidden?
Mimi
