Sue's Diner: Haluski

This week my mind is partly on all foods Easter European since we are Eastern Orthodox and this is our Holy Week - and because my children are half Ukrainian and I am half Bohemian.

This week's recipe was submitted by Amerika Adamowski for the  BryonySeries cookbook: Memories in the Kitchen: Bites and Nibbles from "Bryony," which is a permanent fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will and Grundy Counties.

The recipe is referenced in the novel Bryony, where the protagonist, a 1970s teen named Melissa Marchellis, encounters it at a potluck dinner for her grandmother's memorial luncheon.

I've tasted (and prepared) many variations of this recipe over the years. Some substitute cabbage for the potatoes. Others use mash the potatoes and use elbow macaroni. 

You can try Amerika's recipe on the Sue's Diner page on the BryonySeries website.

But try the recipe this week. It will be gone some time next week. A new recipe will take it's place.

By the way, Sue's Diner is only real in the BryonySeries world. But didn't Timothy do a great job making the page look like a real menu at a vintage diner?

Here is the full diner page: bryonyseries.com/sue-s-diner. You can't really order, of course (wouldn't it be great if you could?).
