Oh, I agree. I was exagerating, just a bit. I just don't get the
overly pampering of house pets. I know I am in the minority here on
that. It bugs me though that a person on Facebook will show more
sorrow for and get more condolances over a deceased pet then for a
spouse or child.

     Title: Moravian Sparrow 
Categories: Czech, Pork, Dumplings
  Servings: 4

           MEAT:
    600 g  pork meat (brisket,
           shoulder)
      1    onion
      3    cloves of garlic
           salt, cumin 
           SAUERKRAUT:
    500 g  sauerkraut
      2    onions
      4 TB vegetable oil
      1 sm potato
      1 TB fine ground flour
           Salt
           Cumin
      1 TB Vinegar
      1 TB Sugar 
           DUMPLINGS:
      8    Potatoes
      1    Egg
  1 1/2 ts salt
    1/4 c  farina
    1/4 c  flour
           Butter

Meat: Preheat the oven to 200 C. Cut meat into big pieces, season
and together with a chopped onion and crushed garlic place in a
baking tray. Add a small amount of water and roast until tender and
golden. Serve with potato dumplings and sauerkraut or blue (red)
cabbage.

Sauerkraut: Drain the sauerkraut and steam it in a saucepan adding
water and cumin. Brown diced onions separately and add to
sauerkraut. Peel and grate the potato and mixing it with the flour
add to sauerkraut. Steam for another few minutes. Finally add
vinegar, sugar and salt to taste. I usually add fried bacon, it
gives it a beautiful smell and taste too.

Dumplings: Boil potatoes until tender. Let them cool and grate or
mash. Place grated potatoes into a large bowl. Work beaten egg,
farina, flour and salt into the potatoes forming a dough. Roll dough
into tube/dumpling (you can make 4 smaller ones or two big ones).
Place dumplings into pot of boiling water and boil for 20 - 25
minutes (smaller ones might take 15 - 20 minutes). Remove, poke them
with a wooden skewer (about 8 times each dumpling) and brush them
with some butter. Don't forget to slice the dumplings before
serving.

... If you put enough dressing on your salad it will taste like food.
