I have to say that you made my day today when I saw this comic. I just sweated and slaved over a “typical American Thanksgiving” b/c my in-laws were in town from Slovakia (MIL here for 5 monhts and FIL for 1 month). We also had several other Slovak family and friends over and I was determined to show them the best and biggest T-giving. And do you know what…there was no soup! “Strasne, strasne” is what I heard several times throughout the weekend…nene zemakove salat? nene kapusta? And even more strange for them, of course, was the slatky zemake casserole. Needless to say I have enough leftover for Christmas dinner!
I printed your comic and will put it on my refrigerator so whenever I feel a bit criticized I will look at the fridge and just laugh it off! Thank you:):) Just curious, what are your thoughts on warm water to drink and warm milk? Babka thinks its terrible that I give my kids cold milk…or cold anything really?!
I must admit that since I have arrived back in the USA (Unaccompanied Soup of America) I have partaken of more than one meal that was SOUP AND SOUP ALONE! It’s yummy, but I keep glancing over my shoulder, waiting for someone to object…
Just think what she would say about Americans eating cold salad and salad alone for dinner! Babka thought the waiter made a mistake when he brought her a large cold chicken caesar salad…Oyoyoyo.
Just one more story…they keep coming every night…last night I was so excited to share a special log of goat cheese rolled in blueberries with our guests. Tso to ye? Tady blueberries. To nene musne…America…they make everything slatky. strasne! I can’t win:):) What on earth am I going to serve for Christmas dinner…I’m scared to order the traditional honey baked ham. I fear they might have a heart attack!
so true man, so true…

Wow, that sounds like you have some good comics material in your family, too. Thanks for the story!
