
New Years day
They find out either bad or good news on this day. If
the first thing they find out on this day is good means
they will have a good year but if they find something
bad out first then that determines they will have a bad
year that year.
A key, ring, small water goblet, and coin are placed
under a bowl and the person who finds the ring will
marry that year, whoever finds the water goblet will
end up having a drunk spouse, whoever finds the coin
will have good wealth, and the key means you are
owning a house.
Recipe

Kuldunai Lithuanian Meat Dumplings Recipe

Ingredients for dumplings…

3 eggs

2 tablespoons water

3 cups flour

Ingredients for filling…

1-1/2 pounds ground beef

1-1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

2 eggs

1/2 cup finely chopped onion

Preparation

1. Prepare the filling…

Beat eggs then mix well with salt, pepper, chopped onion and ground beef.

If the beef is coarsely ground, you’ll want to chop or grind it finely as well. You want the filling to have a consistent texture. The more evenly-sized the pieces of onion and meat are, the
better.

2. Prepare the dough…

Beat eggs thoroughly. Add salt, water and flour to make a soft, workable dough. Divide into three parts.

Roll out each part 1/8 inch thick.

Cut into circles with a large glass, each circle about 3 inches in diameter.

Fill each dough circle with a tablespoon of filling. Seal the edges and twist over the ends.

3. Cook the dumplings…

Bring three quarts salted water to a boil. Drop in the dumplings and return water to boil. Dumplings are done when they float to the top.

Serve hot with Bacon-Mushroom gravy or Lithuanian Bacon Sauce. (Recipes for both are in my cookbook along with additional cooking notes and several Kuldunai variations).

Enjoy!
Tourist Attraction


The capital Vilnius is a big tourist attraction. Many
people go there to see numerous things like The
Frank Zappa statue, Three Crosses Hill, Gedimunas
castle, and European Park.
They do the normal things that everyone else does
on a regular basis.
