Because Lent is a time of fasting, the next opportunity to feast would not be until Easter. (Wikipedia). All Catholics know that – not that I…

• Butterflies and a dragon

  A few days ago I went inside to check on my basil. I do it almost every day. I’m so proud of my basil and I’m happy that I figured out what’s wrong with it and how to fix it. When I was outside I saw a few butterflies wandering around. They weren’t scared of…

• THE BEST APPLE PIE E.V.E.R

  

  I’ve got a story about apple pie. Polish apple pie is a little different from the American. When I asked my husband if he wants apple pie, I had a Polish version in mind. He was very surprised that we have apple pie in Poland. Also, he though that Polish is the same as American……

• Something Polish, something sweet…

  KISIEL – we’ve been talking about this dessert for a while now. We, means me and Polish Mama on the Prairie. Finally today I got the chance to make one. I can’t say I really enjoyed it, because the flavor I had was kind of weird – “cola” (coca-cola), and it coloured my tongue blue…
