Hopefully, what we have up there translates to "Grandma's Halušky with Cabbage or Curd Cheese."
When my wife's grandmother, Mary Macejko, emigrated from a small village named Žakarovce in the Slovak region of the newly formed Czechoslovakia in the early part of the 20th century as a 9-year-old girl, she didn't bring much with her except a language, a religion, traditions and memories:
Naturally, many of those memories revolved around food and mealtimes, which are always happy occasions for any family; this recipe, simply called halušky, is another. The folk of Žakarovce are peasants, humble and close to the land, and this meal is so eastern-european peasant, grandma-in-a-head-scarf-digging-for-potatoes-out-behind-the-cottage that you won't believe such goodness can come from the earth. As I told John, so I shall also tell each and every one of you: I COMMAND you to try this!
Here's your ingredients list:
◦2 lbs of smoked, thick-sliced bacon (you could also use ham, sausage (such as kielbasa), pork shoulder, chicken or beef, such as chuck roast, etc.)
◦1 large head of cabbage or 2 small heads of cabbage OR 1 large container of cottage cheese
◦2 large onions, chopped
◦4 cups of flour
◦4-6 potatoes, depending on size
◦2 eggs
◦salt and pepper
Lots of step-by-step pix, so I am going to link to my source post at http://foodsoftheworld.activeboards.net . If interested, click here:

in order to learn how to turn this:
into this:
Hope to see you there!
