Very good! It's great that the dolls are a starting point for learning more about their countries of origin. I actually live in Poland but in the north, and had not heard of haluski before - will investigate. I am Portuguese - do you have a doll from Portugal? :)

I don’t! And I’ve never been to Portugal! It is very alluring to me and I hope I’ll get to explore someday!

I love this family collaboration! How wonderful that your daughter came up with the global dinners idea!

Agreed! And every dinner surprises us with some new taste, technique, or factoid. On deck for this weekend: Japan!

Of course, I love this story. I didn't know where the collection would go when I brought home that first doll. I doubt I even thought of it as a collection at that point. But I certainly didn't know the dolls would lead to this second life. I am so happy that the dolls have found a new home and are being used to relive some of my travels. Thanks for sharing this.

Great story. I do have some of the salt and pepper shakers.
