Magnetic Poles

Although half of each giant meat dish had to come home with us, we suffered for our craft and tried desserts. After such enormous meals, we couldn't really appreciate the weighty cheese-stuffed crepes (with a bittersweet chocolate sauce that night). The tall lemony cheesecake, however, was remarkably light and barely sweet, a fusion of an airy Italian ricotta cheesecake and a New York pot-cheese version. An apple pastry was also refreshing with a crisp crust and the apples tender-firm, united by a heavy but not oversweet syrup.

We were both so thrilled by Old Krakow, we decided to try it at home. Two days later TJ came home with 10 heads of cabbage and a 5-gallon crock. Guess the garage is gonna stink for a while.
