Gifts from across the pond

Gifts from Radek

I was pleasantly surprised to come home from work this evening to find a package from the Czech Republic on my desk. My email pen pal, Radek Janíček sent us a beautiful Christmas card with a photo of snowy courtyard among Prague architecture, as well as a “Traditional Czech Cuisine” cookbook and two DVDs, “S čerty nejsou žerty” and “S tebou mÄ› baví svÄ›t”, which should be, um, interesting. I’m thinking about watching them while we’re in Des Moines with Elise’s family next week (with English subtitles, of course).

Elise and I are very excited that Radek and his wife, Jana, are expecting their first child early next year, so we’re going to make sure to load them up with Texas goodies once the baby is born. With a cowboy hat, 5 lbs. of extra spicy beef jerky and a can of Copenhagen, they’ll be Prague’s new trendsetters!
