Kolaches!






There's this little Czech town in Texas between Dallas and Austin. It's called West, Texas... not West the region out left in Texas, but West the small town in Central Texas.

I love kolaches. There's the delicious sweet ones, like cream cheese or poppy seed, and there's the savory, like sausage with kraut or cheese.

Bought a bunch to eat, and some frozen ones too. There's also this crazy looking Jerky place a little further north. I've been meaning to check it out, but I always just end up stopping for Kolaches.

Kolaches are best heated up in the microwave. We tried the toaster oven and other conventional heating, but unfortunately it dries out the pastry. I guess crispiness isn't really what you want out of a Kolache. Microwave makes it a bit soggy, which actually makes it softer and moister.

When I saw these pictures on your Flickr site, my mouth was watering... I miss kolaches- sadly there are no Czech bakeries in Abq.
