It’s never too late to write about something sweet, right? After all, Thursday wasn’t that long ago anyway, and it being a Fat Thursday to boot, I think it deserves an honorable mention for this week. Not that getting my face stuffed with sugar deserves honorable mentions. But Ania made some pretty cool meringues for…
Every now and again I get the urge to make me some pancakes. Ania will sometimes make the traditional Polish ones, but Polish pancakes, also known as ‘neleśniki’, are just not the same. They’re mostly very thin and you actually roll them or fold them into triangles with your choice of filling be that fruit…
In case you missed my write up of the Dresden Christmas Market last year, we went back this year to do it all over again. Mostly because Ania loves Christmas a lot, but perhaps also because we really missed that cheese and mushroom hot sandwich they serve there. Again, it’s only a three-hour drive at…
Speaking of Dresden… There are quite a few things that took place between our trip to Dresden in August and today, but since today’s story also deals with Dresden, I’ll just write about it now. Today, however, the temperature was hovering around freezing, it snowed at one point, and most important difference of all, we…
At the beginning of this month, we stopped by the annual European Food Festival taking place in Wrocław’s city center. I believe this was our third time attending, and it seems that this street -like fair is gaining in popularity. We did by now notice some familiar faces among the folks representing their country. For…
This Magical Week was a quick one. Here are my 5 topics of the week. 1. Mom’s Birthday It was my mom’s birthday this week. Happy Birthday Mom! My sister put together the cool collage on the right, and my dad is convinced of a very strong resemblance of little Maya to little Kasia 33…
There are two things we consumed in heavy rotation during our stay at the sea side: fish & chips, and waffles! Ok, so there was an occasional smoked fish, too, but all in all, fish and waffles was the theme of our daily routine. An extremely delicious routine if I may say so myself. Fish & chips…
Wrocław hosted a “Taste of Europe” food festival last week. The proper translation would sound more to the tune of “Europe at the fork tip” or something along those lines. But my translation fits better as that’s exactly what it was: a bunch of vendors from different European countries showing off their local cuisine. We…
A long time ago I watched a Polish foodie’s program where the host of the show travels around the world and tries the local cousine. I happened to watch it where the host was in Amsterdam having soused herring which is a traditional Dutch delicacy. All this came back to me as we were standing…
Sunday mornings are great when my favorite aunty stops by for a visit 😉 This is by far not a typical Polish breakfast, but I made sure I had a solid supply of pancake mix and syrup on hand before moving to Poland.
Apparently there’s a new restaurant in town that took its name straight out of Polish history books. PRL stands for the People’s Republic of Poland and it was the official name of Poland between 1952 and 1990. A lot of things happened in the post war communist Poland, Fiat 126p seen on the photos was…
Across the street from our favorite coffee shop Dwie Małpy “The Two Mokneys”, is a newly opened self-serve restaurant selling food by the pound, well, by the kilogram actually. Jadłomania, loosely translates into Eat’o’mania, and serves very delicious food indeed. Garlic and spinach stuffed chicken breast with baked potatoes and green beans were my choice,…
Right outside of Wrocław’s city square is a small, hole in the wall, restaurant with a catchy play on words of a name. Fidel Gastro, as in gastronomy, the study of the relationship between food and culture, is a clever name for a food joint, I must admit. I’m just not sure it is in…
