memorable MEALS: Vinohradsky Parlament

Eating in a new country is an adventure; in fact, it is part of the adventure. Art and architecture, landmarks, and cobblestones only make up a slice of seeing a new place, but eating further develops a sense of culture and place. Eating is a true way to get a taste of a place.

But, going out to eat in a newish (now) place is always a roll of the dice-- you never know what you will end up with, and if you will be happy with what you eat. But this is a chance I am always willing to take, indulge in, and eat up. 

Check out the #foodiventures at Vinohradsky Parlament, which was surprising at times, but mostly very delicious.

welcome to PRAGUE

NOTE: This is a photo-heavy post. Take a peek at some of the things that I have seen (and eaten).

It feels almost long ago now that I was counting down the seconds until I would be on the plane to meet my husband in Prague, where he has been working for what feels like years. Now that I am here, and almost two weeks have gone by, time is doing that funny thing of slowing down and speeding up at the same time. So much to do, so little time.

The amount of information I have received about Prague and Czechia in these first days is astounding. But I love it. It is invigorating to absorb as much as possible and refreshing to rediscover my love of learning after a challenging school year.

Time does this funny thing. It moves without you really knowing or even noticing. It moves with or without you. Sometimes it feels like time is on your side, while other times you are grasping for it, and it eludes your fingertips with a smug smirk and all-knowing bravado. But time is neither friend or foe-- it is fact, ephemeral fact, inevitable.

A lot has happened. I feel like I say this a lot. But, we bought a house, closing nearly a year ago. Our house was far from perfect, but it was ours, something that we did. We quickly began renovation, some labor our own, some others'. There were tears from hundred-year-old hog hair plaster, but also from frustration and time lost. After hard work, many decisions, and the inconvenience of having no kitchen for months on end, we are now enjoying our new home. I continue to marvel in the transformation and fall in love with all our details over and over. It was hard, but now it feels like it is ours. And I can play in the kitchen again!

Time is funny, but it is also quantifiable, and results are only tangible with time. Look for more of me here, hopefully. Continue to follow the food on instagram.
