Sue's Diner: Haluski

I was instroduced to this week's recipe for haluski many years ago from my first husband's Ukranian family and extended church family.

It uses the simplest of ingredients in a most delicious ways. Try it and see!

Amerika Adamowski submitted her version 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.

Here is the reference from the cookbook:

 Neither Melissa nor Brian felt at ease during the unfamiliar church services in memory of their grandmother. The array of delicious food at the potluck luncheon that followed was more appealing. This was especially true for Brian, who had heaped his plate high with the following dishes. 

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.

Finally, 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?
