I have a few European friends who travel to South Florida to enjoy our tropical climate, our laid back attitude and our exceptional pickleball communities. We welcome them one and all. My Hungarian friends invited us to a small dinner party at their condo. Hildi fixed an excellent feast of Hungarian chicken stew, called Csirkeporkoplt, which was delicious but don't ask me to try to pronounce that word.
I plan to invite her and her husband over for a nice European meal that she will recognize. Swedish meatballs with potato dumplings on the side. Potato dumplings are called gnocchi in Italy, kroppkakor in Sweden, and shlishkes in Hungary. Where I grew up they were called fried leftover mashed potatoes. Deep fried with egg mixed in and rolled with flour. To make it more authentically Swedish I will serve lingonberry jam on the side.
The more you learn about food and cuisine the more you appreciate what brings us together.

What about Klingon?

That show came on long after I watched any network TV but I guess I must have missed out on some good stuff.

I think I quit watching sit-coms after Mash went off the air but I do remember enjoying random episodes of Welcome back Kotter, Taxi and Cheers. Has TV improved?

The clip you showed was funny and appropriate as it pertains to foreign languages and I think it is from one of the longest running comedy series which has evolved through different iterations but I have never watched it. Maybe I should but probably not.

Two or three years ago, I had a friend visiting me who suffered a significant laceration while we were out fishing. I took him to the doc-in-a-box near me and while he was in the back waiting to be sutured I had to watch three episodes of The Office. I never figured out what that show was about or why it was on the air. As it turned out, I should have insisted on being in the back to watch the doctor clean and suture his wound. He developed a major wound infection because the doc was too lazy or uninformed to adequately debris the wound.
