Auntie Susie and I made a promise to each other when my Grandma Jagodnik passed away in October 2006 we would keep the Jagodnik family traditions going. One of which is making a Slovenian nut roll, potica, for Christmas to hand out to all our friends and family. Grandma Jagodnik did this each and every year. Not only did she make it for Christmas, but for Easter too! We thought we'd take baby steps. Auntie Susie and Uncle Tom drove down from Cleveland for the weekend and the baking began. We used Grandma's recipe (recipe card and all), wore her old aprons, used her original rolling pin, and then rolled it out on Grandma Formica's old porcelain top kitchen table. How much fun! We laughed, we cried, and we celebrated! My Dad was the judge of our final product and we got the stamp of approval! After a long day at work we attended the annual Natalie Christmas party!
