What was the best meal this week?:

This week I had traditional Kuřecí roláda chicken and bread dumplings, and it was so good! In the bread dumplings, they put Kopřiva dvoudomá, also known as Common Nettle, which is a common weed and actually stings you if you touch it. Nevertheless, Czech people pick it and cook it into food as a seasoning, and they even make tea with it! The plants are full of antioxidants and vitamins, and they taste great!
