Part of the heritage that belongs to our children has roots in Latvia. My husbands great grandmother, great aunt and his grandmother were among the few of his family to survive the Bolshevik Revolution and upon escaping Latvia, were refugees in Europe for many years before settling in Argentina. (We are currently researching what happened in Latvia at that time. It is possible the revolution was not the actual Bolshevik revolution but the family has always referred to it as such. regardless all of the male members of the family were murdered and only the females escaped.)
My 19 year old son decided to begin exploring those roots. He has explored the arts, the culinary delights, as well as the history of this wonderful country. As a result of his research we were treated to some delightful baking that both hen and his sister Anna, engaged in one soggy wet day last week.
Discover some of what we enjoyed in the posts below. I will add recipes later.

Christy, you have such wonderful children! The food looks great and I am looking forward to seeing the post with the recipes.
I wish you well in researching your husband's ancestors. It can be a rewarding experience.
Hopefully I will post these promised recipes this weekend when we recreate these delights for our parish picnic.
