    Buchty--my family is Czech and my grandmother and her sisters would make kolaches and buchty. If there were not enough calories in buchty, they would dip them in melter butter and then in sugar before they were served. But before we were allowed to have one, we had to say the name in Czech, which, by the way, does not completely sound likes it looks! Yum! I love kolaches, but do not make them or eat them because I do not do alot of carbs.

    Driving through the back country in Nebraska, you might stop at a gas station and find kolaches for sale. I have, more than once.

    And Mar, so rich. Czech food is very rich. My g grandfather was a blacksmith. He had a saying, that the tailor (a person who sits to work and doesn't do heavy physical labor) cannot eat potato dumplings, another very well known Czech food. (They are eaten at every meal in The Czech Republic.) They are very dense. Some Czech's in my family call them "sinkers" because they are so heavy, but the Czech word for dumpling is knedliky. In spite of how dense they are, most people who have eaten them recall having contests at the dinner table to see who can eat the most! One can have around 350 calories. I have seen someone eat 6 at a meal, but someone told me he ate 9 1/2.

    This sounds wonderful. I wish I could taste it all. I think knedliky is a very cute word :-)

    I found myself today wanting another kolache, sigh...
