THAT'S NOT A DESSERT

From the corner of my eye, I thought I saw snow. As I looked again, I caught a beautiful field of poppies.


Czechs love their kolače...a pastry filled with various things like jam, cheese, or poppy seed. The first time I ate one I stopped, pointed, and said, "Those are mashed poppy seeds. That's not a dessert!" But I've grown to love them. Maybe sometimes even crave them. Go figure. Hope I don't get stopped for a random drug test any time soon.
