Watching a young cousin grow is nice. I have been watching Rózia grow since she was almost two years old. She is now 7 and will be 8 in December. She was on vacation with her parents, Luka and Marek Paluch, to the Sudety mountains and the Czech Republic. Cousin Luka sent these pictures.OK, here's the recipe for the raspberry liquor that we had last Sunday.
1/2 kg malin
1 szklanka cukru
2 szklanki wody niegazowanej ("Żywiec")
1 szklanka spirytusu
Maliny zasypać cukrem, następnie dodać pozostałe składniki.
Po 3 dniach odcedzić owoce os likieru
1 szklanka cukru
2 szklanki wody niegazowanej ("Żywiec")
1 szklanka spirytusu
Maliny zasypać cukrem, następnie dodać pozostałe składniki.
Po 3 dniach odcedzić owoce os likieru
1 lb raspberries
1 glass of the sugar
2 glasses of mineral natural water "Żywiec"
1 glass of grain alcohol
2 glasses of mineral natural water "Żywiec"
1 glass of grain alcohol
Mix raspberries in with the sugar, let it sit for 3 hours, add remaining ingredients. Let this sit for 3 days, then drain the liquor from the raspberries. It's very good.
It's gray and cloudy today. 66 degrees. Everyone is wearing jackets, light sweaters and looking chilled. Soon the mountain areas will be covered in the colors of autumn. I like autumn. My least favorite season is summer because of the temperature but this summer in Poznań there were no really hot days and that was great. Autumn is absolutely my favorite season, followed by winter. Winter is special because it is a quieter time and when the snow falls everything looks beautiful.
The winters I spent in Michigan were difficult but still a beautiful experience. More snow than you can imagine yet it brought a peacefullness with it. I liked skiing out from the house to get to the road where my car was parked. On a moonlit night, with the snow reflecting off of the snow, it was as bright as daytime. Skiing at night was great and so quiet.
Obserwowanie młody kuzyn rosną jest miły. Obserwowałem Rózia rosną odkąd ona miała prawie dwa lat. Ona jest teraz 7 i będzie 8 w grudniu. Ona była na wakacjach z jej rodzicami, Luka i Marek Paluch, do gór Sudety i Republiki Czeskiej. Kuzyna Luka wysłał te zdjęcia.

Mieszają maliny w z cukrem, niech to siedzi dla 3 godzin, dodaje pozostające składniki. Niech to siedzi dla {jest posłem dla} 3 dni, wtedy osuszasz napój alkoholowy od malin. To jest bardzo dobre.
To jest szarość i pochmurne dzisiaj. 66 stopni. Każdy nosi marynarki, lekkie {jasne} swetry i patrzenie stygło. Wkrótce górskie obszary będą pokryte w kolorach jesieni. Lubię jesień. Moja najmniej ulubionej pory {sezonu} jest lato z powodu temperatury ale to lato w Poznań nie były żadnych naprawdę gorących dni i które były wielkie. Jesień jest absolutnie moja ulubiona pora, mająca za sobą zima. Zima jest specjalna ponieważ to jest spokojniejszy czas i kiedy śnieg spada wszystko spojrzenia piękny.
Zimy wydałem w Michigan byłem trudny ale cichy pięknym doświadczeniem. Więcej śniegu niż możesz wyobrazić sobie jeszcze to przyniosło peacefullness z tym. Polubiłem narciarskie poza z domu by dostać się do drogi gdzie mój samochód był zaparkowany. Na księżycowa noc, ze śniegiem zastanawiającym się precz śniegu, to było tak jasne jak dzień. Jadący na nartach wieczorem był wielki i tak spokój.
Hey, guess what ??!! my favorite season is also autumn, then winter, then spring and summer least, because of the heat, but I like it a little better now since Kim and Darren got a pool :) --
ReplyDeleteh-m-m-m------we must be cousins!! And I like the peacefulness of winter--this is the time I do most of my work on genealogy, although this summer I wrote a couple of family stories--that I will share with you later.
Some day I will have to try to make the liquor recipe....on a cold winter evening!!! Sounds great.
Hugs...
Dear Joan and David,
ReplyDeleteI like you liquor recipe. You know what would go great with it as appetizer - some marinated wild mushrooms you wrote about in one older blog. If you still can find mushrooms at the farmer's market get about 2 to 3 pounds of fresh small and medium mushrooms like prawdziwki or borowiki, maslaki, opienki, kurki (those are yellow little mushrooms), the other are brown. You can marinate them and store in jars from jams and jellies with good pop up cap.
First you have to clean mushrooms and remove stems, sort them by size, really big ones and the stems are good for soup or sauce. Wash them well and place in pot of water with little bit of salt and boil till very tender but not overcooked.
In separate pot, best one is with some sort of liner, bring to boil 1/2 cup of water or how ever much you need, add vinegar to taste (depends how tart you like), 1/4 table spoon of sugar, 10 black peppercorns, 2 -3 bay leaves. Taste the water vinegar mixture and adjust to taste.
Cut one medium onion into 1/8 inch slices and place 1 or 2 on the bottom of the jar, place mushrooms on top, add 1 or 2 slices of onion and add more mushrooms, repeat until jar is full, add hot water vinegar mixture and close the lid tightly.
You can boil closed jars in the pot for 5 - 10 minutes to help close the seal. Place trivet or cloth on the bottom of the pot so the jars will not cracked when expose to heat.
Let it cool down and store in dark place. Take out at any time and use as snack, appetizer or in preparing some dishes.
Gathering wild mushrooms in September and October is social event for may families and everyone like to brag how many real mushrooms - borowiki = prawdziki, they gather and how big they were.
Maybe you can still get some picture of different wild mushrooms at the farmer's market or on the way to Golina onthe side of the road, where the pickers sell them.
I hope that you will be able to make this and see if you like it.
Have fun with it and enjoy something that is not readily available in US.
Good luck and best wishes,
I used to love winter days on the farm. We had a long driveway; if the snow stopped school, my dad didn't plow the driveway for a day, so we could have some peace and quiet without someone coming and wanting him to fix something (he was a farm and small town electrician). And one of my favorite sounds is hearing the sound the shovel makes when someone else is shoveling the sidewalk.
ReplyDeleteWinter doesn't slow down in the academic world, however. This year, though, the calendar is a friend. For the past several years we've been going back on January 2. This year it's January 5 with classes starting again on January 12. Our last day before Christmas in December 16. At least a break compared to the other years.
Now you may think teachers have an easy life. I'm teaching 3 online courses during the next semester. They go live on January 5 which means I must work like a wild woman during the fall semester to have everything ready for them December 16. An online course is done all the way through the semester. A classroom course only requires one to be ready week to week. Online is whole different world for the instructor. I love it, but it's not easier by any stretch of the imagination.
Now have you tried any of that raspberry liquor in the beer? This is the way many Polish women drink beer. I particularly like the raspberry with Zywiec. I think it cuts the sharpness of that beer, which is my least favorite of Polish beers, but sometimes the only one available or the one that is served.
Marilyn,
ReplyDeleteYes, sounds like we are:-)
Anna,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the new recipe We'll try it when we can..
Lori,
ReplyDeleteI liked plowing the snow when we lived in Michigan. We had an old 1 1/2 ton dump truck with plow attached and after I got the heater working our 1/8 of a mile driveway took about two hours work. When the reverse gear stopped working in the truck I would have to plow one side of the road, continue straight ahead ti the nearest turn around, a mile away, and then return to plow the other side. It usually took about 3 hours. We lived at the very end of a county road with only 3 houses on the road. It was always the last road the county plowed so it was a rare thing to have visitors.
