Pie!!




Missed another day. Fell asleep before I could write it.

Joan made a new recipe, Tripe Style Chicken from the Polish Heritage Cookbook. Soup greens, chicken stock, marjoram, butter, flour maggi extract, paprika, ginger, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. It calls for mashed potatoes but Joan decided to serve it over flat noodles. She said it looks like a soup but isn't. To make it into a soup you have to add more water. It was very good and enough left over to have again tonight for dinner.

We also got a large bag of apples from an acquaintance who has an apple tree in her yard and can't use all that the tree produces. Joan made compote with most of them and an apple pie which required her to use her new oven for the first time. She was a little skeptical using it because all instructions are in Polish but we managed to figure it out and the pie turned out great. A little too sweet so next time she will decrease the amount of sugar.

Today we went to Carrefour to buy a dish rack. Cost 14zl($5). I measured the space at home first for it and then bought it. It's just the same size as our old one but we threw that one out when we moved. We figured it was time to replace it anyway.

From there we went upstairs to Saturn and had the last two pictures printed of my great grandfathers childern and their families. Tomorrow the wall will be completed and then I will take the final pictures of what our place looks like finished. It'll be a slide show from the first day until now.

I was hoping to visit with our Bekalarek cousins before they return to Germany but so far I haven't heard from them and I don't have their Polish cell phone numbers so it may not workout.


Chybiony inny dzie艅. Zapad艂 w sen zanim m贸g艂bym napisa膰 to.

Joan zrobi艂a now膮 recept臋, Flaczk贸w Stylu Kurcz臋 od polskiej Dziedzictwa Ksi膮偶ki kucharskiej. Warzywa zupy , ros贸艂 z kurczaka, majeranek, mas艂o, m膮ki Maggi wyci膮gaj膮, papryka, imbir, ga艂ka muszkato艂owa, pieprz cayenne, s贸l i pieprz. To by艂o bardzo dobry i do艣膰 opuszcza艂 wsz臋dzie by mie膰 znowu dzisiaj wieczorem dla obiadu.

Te偶 dostali艣my wielk膮 torb臋 jab艂ek od znajomo艣ci, kt贸ra ma jab艂o艅 w jej jardzie i nie mo偶e u偶y膰 wszystkiego, 偶e drzewo produkuje. Joan zrobi艂a kompot z najwi臋cej z nich i szarlotki, kt贸ra wymaga艂a, 偶eby ona u偶y艂a jej nowego pieca po raz pierwszy. Ona by艂a troch臋 sceptycznym u偶ywaniem tego poniewa偶 wszystkie instrukcje s膮 po polsku ale poradzili艣my sobie by obliczy膰 to i sroka okaza艂a si臋 wielki. Troch臋 r贸wnie偶 cukierka tak na drugi raz ona zmniejszy ilo艣膰 cukru.

Dzisiaj poszli艣my do Skrzy偶owania dr贸g by kupi膰 p贸艂k臋 naczynia. Kosztowany 14zl($5). Mierzy艂em przestrze艅 w domu po pierwsze dla tego i wtedy kupi艂em to. To jest w艂a艣nie ten sam rozmiar jak nasz stary jeden ale rzucili艣my, 偶e jeden poza kiedy ruszyli艣my si臋. Wyobrazili艣my, 偶e to by艂 czas by zast膮pi膰 to w ka偶dym razie.
Stamt膮d poszli艣my na g贸r臋 do Saturna i kazali艣my poprzednie dwa zdj臋cia wydrukowane moich wielkich dzieci dziadk贸w i ich rodzin. Jutro 艣ciana b臋dzie uzupe艂niona i wtedy zrobi臋 ko艅cowe zdj臋cia czego nasze miejsce wygl膮da jak sko艅czone. To b臋dzie pokaz 艣lizgawki od pierwszego dnia do teraz.

Spodziewa艂em si臋 bywa膰 z naszymi Bekalarek kuzynami zanim oni wr贸c膮 do Niemiec ale dotychczas nie us艂ysza艂em od nich i nie mam ich polskich liczb telefonu kom贸rkowego tak to nie mo偶e treningu
