This is our traditional Polish Christmas Eve dinner. We have barszcz czerwony with uszka (beet soup with mushroom-filled "ears" or mini pierogi), fish (traditionally carp, but we eat sea bass - delicious), boiled potatoes, and two types of sauerkraut - kapusta z grzybami i kapusta z grochem - one with mushrooms and the other with peas. In previous years we've used canned peas; this year we tried frozen and the dish came out much better. We finish dinner by sharing oplatki, or wafers. Finally, a cheesecake rounds out dinner, but we usually wait until after we open presents to eat that - we're too full otherwise!
