I find Hungarians more of soul and spirit than Slovaks where I grew up and they seemed very cold to me.

That’s why I moved away and married an Italian.

I have just found your substack and I like it very much. I think we are attracted subconsciously to the same kind of spirit.

Unfortunately I can’t speak Hungarian because I grew up with my Slovak mother, which I regret very much. I have to satisfy myself with a google translation of Hungarian recipes.

I didn’t know that Maria Treben died of liver failure. Anyway, she seemed to reach quite a good age in good health. We had just one printed translation of her book before the fall of communism, so it was impossible to follow the news from Austria.

I used often her advice and it worked for my bronchitis and bad kidney condition of my husband.
