Oh man, I was just informed that a "possible" side effect of a new diabetes medication I'm taking is joint pain, and if said joint has arthritis in it, oh boy!

Man, I am sounding like an old man

It all catches up to us. Take it easy and let the intern do the hard work.

LOL I have 5! interns working this summer in the department

I have an old soccer injury, a misdiagnosed hairline fracture of the instep, plus various other knocks on it, that turned into osteoarthritis. I also have the misfortune of having rheumatoid arthritis in the family - both sides of my mom's Polish family had/have it

BTDT with sports injuries...summers are great but the winters, ugggh.

My mom's Polish family gave me the love of pierogi and vodka.

Pierogi
Babka
kielbasa
gwumpkies
chrusciki

My great-grandmother gave us kids vodka on our gums when we were teething. She also gave us wine or beer at holiday meals.

oh!! Other than an incredibly irritating mood I'm in, I'll still sprinkle kisses and hugs to everyone.

Hope Monday is treating you all well. I have lots of papers to sort through. I'm glad I'm "getting" it, but this software..ugh...

I've got to get in a better frame of mind.
*I think I can!! I think I can!!!*

Ah yes,, Christmas bacchanalia in the Polish household....four floors of excess beginning at 12:01am Christmas Eve concluding ot Midnight Christmas day....cases of vodka chilled to syrup in the chest freezer....then on to Midnight mass!

No telling how we survived.....

My grandmother was from a village outside Zamoszc in the Russian Partition

Babci and Dziadzia Szuba were from the German Partition, while Mackowiak were from the Russian side.

Babci Szuba could cook, but Baci Mackowiak couldn't though she could bake. And, neither had any sauce of any kind in their gwumpkie recipes, even when one of them moved into the Italian section of the city

Babcia Chuda was a fantastic cook. She cooked for the Italian Consulate in Baltimore and there used to be a huge Italian population at one time in that city. No shortages of Italian ladies to cook and they picked Chuda (if only she was).

Her kitchen smelled of fresh bread, herbs and the heavy scent of pork roast.

I don't remember much Polish anymore

I remember the lyrics to "My Melody of Love" and all the curses

Both great-grandmothers never used tomato products, since they both believed they were poisonous. Babci's house smelled of pickles or sauerkraut or even horseradish, whichever she had just made and had in the barrel in the cellar.

My sister has copies of their "stuffed cabbage" recipes, each from the old country, which pre date 1900, and one from Babci Szuba that she changed and gave to one of her daughters as a wedding gift. The changed were the meat mixture - from whatever scrapes of meat that could be ground together to 2 parts ground sirloin, 2 parts ground pork, 1 part ground veal (Now found in the market as..meatball/meatloaf mix); and rice instead of stale bread.

We also have her pierogi recipes, fillings included. I won't use "farmer's cheese", it's too disgusting. I prefer to use cheddar. And, the Progeny loves that I cook them the way she did: Boil until they float then put them in a frying pan with butter, onions, butter, and bacon grease..fry until they're nice and toasty, then add some bacon bits on them

No. Chicken fat was for frying chicken pieces.

Its frequently preferred over butter for bread.

I don't remember the old Poles using anything other than butter.

Just dashing through to leave a quick note on the fridge. "Wanted to let everyone know as soon as I heard something. I did NOT get the job I had applied for - apparently they are still looking for someone who "more closely meets the needs of the position and the organization" (and since I have been doing exactly what they planned to hire me for, for the past 11 years - I have NO clue what that means) At any rate, my current job doesn't end until Aug 30th and not scheduled to move until then either so I'm still looking."

Evening, all. Taking in a mental marguerita, maybe two. Happy to be home.

Special hello to all of the ladies who have stopped by today. You all give me warm fuzzies. When I get home I get to read up, re-center and be less of a jerk.



RJ: Schmaltz is an old country thing. Its put on the table practically everywhere you go in Poland. You are right, in this country they go straight to the butter.

what exactly is schmaltz?

rendered chicken fat. Its what is skimmed off the top of a pot of chicken that has been boiled for quite some time. Its disgusting.

eww. yes. It sounds like it. When i lived in Germany I came across a lot of things ( food items) i found to be disgusting. Along with some very tasty things but i cringed a lot lol.
