Hungarian Restaurant

Not far from our hotel we came across Barbara's  Hungarian Restaurant.
I think I have said before that I am full blooded Hungarian.
I have some great recipes that I make,  from some very old cookbooks.

They have a limited menu.  Ron was not too crazy about it, as he did not recognize anything on the menu.

There was all sorts of memento's on the walls.  Some of the pictures were of places I have been in Budapest.
I thought this was a fun adventure too. 

The Hungarian Flag

I had the goulash, made the true Hungarian way.  It was so good.
The rye bread they served with it was delicious.

Ron, had a pea soup.  He figured he couldn't go too wrong with that.

My cousin Diane, and her son Alex, met us on Monday to go back to the house one more time.
Nothing had changed over the weekend.  Diane and Alex helped get a few more things from the house.
Ron had stayed on the first floor, clearing out an area in the front of the house.  We went up to the third floor. We seemed to have more luck up there finding things.
I found a couple dictionaries and books that had names and dates in it that I can use for my research on our ancestry.
Diane found some old Christmas ornaments that were pretty neat.  I found a box of linens that my Aunts had embroidered. Found a few pieces of china and more pictures. One picture is of my grandmother when she died.  The funeral homes used to have professional photographer's come in and take pictures of the casket.  What was interesting was there was the written order for the tombstone.  We had seen this tombstone at the cemetery and wondered why the spelling of their names was so different from what we knew.  They spelled Mary, as Maria, and the Hungarian spelling for my grandfather's name. Balazc.

As we started to pack up to go home, we are giving thought about going back to Trenton.  If we do, we may take one more trip to the house.  One consideration is to let the city take over the house, or we have found out that there are people that will come in take a look, give a bid and possibly buy it right then and there.

I really was hoping that all would have been good.  We would find the things she had said were valuable, although, we did not know what she had meant by that.  I hoped I would find more photos and information about our family history.
More to come.
