the funny part is that she actually got trolled on twitter.Quote:
Before we get started, take a peek at my last name. It's as Czech as they come. The name Penck is actually a nickname for a peasant (I know, I know). It comes from the Czech word meaning "wheat." I grew up in the heart of the "Texas Czech Belt." So, trust me, I know a thing or two about doughy Bohemian pastries.
Texas is a pretty heavily Czech region, with immigrants from Bohemia settling in the Texas Czech Belt in the early 1800s. They brought with them one of the best pastries known to mankind, and even now kolaches are a pretty big deal around these parts. A "kolach" (that's the singular form of the word, though colloquially people use "kolache" as singular and "kolaches" as plural, so that's how I'm referring to it here) is a round or square-ish pastry made with sweet yeast dough and filled with fruit or cheese.
Notice I said fruit or cheese not meat. The traditional kolache fillings include things like plums, prunes, poppy seeds, apricots and just plain farmer's cheese, due to the availability of those tasty flavors in poor immigrant families in the 19th century. Later, those fillings were expanded to include cream cheese, blueberries, pineapples, nuts, cottage cheese, cherriesyou name the fruit or cheese, and you could put it in a kolache. Notice, again, I haven't mentioned meat.
