Family Traditions

My little helper isn't afraid to get his hands dirty while making krub (blood dumplings).

Since he didn't care for adding the raw side pork that helps hold the dumpling shape, he got the salt and pepper job, adding just the "right" amount to each dumpling.

This is the mixing process: equal parts grated potatoes and blood, then lots and lots of flour. Note Mav in the background being held.

Mav & Omi - That boy can find a lap to sit in anywhere.

And Papa is always willing to hold Mav. Brody was this age when he first helped make krub. Mav was more interested in playing or hanging out on laps and trying to get homemade cookies.

We went to my Grandma and Grandpa Docken's a week ago to help make krub, a family tradition. It's worth all of the prep and waiting, because the end result of krub and side pork is delicious. I think I'm getting closer and closer to having the process memorized.
