Vianoce-Christmas

I knew Christmas would be really different than how we normally celebrate in Canada, and I wasn't let down! On Dec. 24, Michal, Darina and I decorated the Christmas tree. Then we started preparing for the dinner. The family living in Bratislava came over for dinner, which was a really big affair. Darina was cooking from the morning until the evening, and I was doing what I could to help. We made Kapusnica(cabbage soup) and fish soup for starters, and then a lot of time was spent gutting the giant carp and preparing it. First, it is dipped in flour and eggs(like schnitzel), and then it is deepfried. There were many different salads, and most of them were like a potato/mayonaise base. We finished off the meal with little cookies and nuts.
