Life / Poland not so cheap anymore!! [47]

Cigarettes in the US are 7 USD which is about 21 PLN so the price isn't that bad in Poland.

Life / Poles that have lived or live abroad are they different? [68]

I said to him, I thought it was a cultural thing in Poland to be a bit abrupt, he said "No, its a lack of culture"

he's wrong.. it's called conciseness and most westerners have an issue with it.. americans love it when you beat around the bush to no end.

Work / Moving to Poland from Canada [17]

search the forums for most of your answers.

4-5k $ will go far if you do it right.

(I read somewhere on here that an English teacher in Poland makes ~60zl/h)

fat chance i feel but if you're smart maybe you can hook a few with that.

I know stuff like food, housing, utilities, etc. is cheap in Poland,

think again.. it's nowhere close to cheap in PL

(plus monitor, printer, accessories)

are those 220-240V? may work in PL although you want to check the phases there too.

Food / Foreign foods in Krakow - where to buy kangaroo meat, Vegemite? [28]

Any other ideas?

Dutch oven Refried Beans
David Herzog

2 cups dried pinto beans
1 cup dried kidney beans
½ cup dried black beans
6 cups water
1 can chicken broth
1 medium onion, diced
1 Tbs. dried oregano
¼ tsp. cumin
1 Tbs. fresh garlic, chopped
½ cup mild to medium salsa
Salt and pepper to taste
2 Tbs. butter or lard

In a Dutch oven, combine beans, water, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to a slow boil, cover and cook for 2 to 3 hours, adding more liquid as needed. Uncover after beans are tender and continue cooking to reduce liquid, about 30 minutes. Add onion, garlic, oregano, and cumin. Simmer 15 to 30 minutes.

Pour off liquid until about 1 cup remains, then with a potato masher, mash the beans until mashed almost smooth. Add salsa and butter or lard, cook over low heat 5 to 10 minutes.

Serves 6 to 8

I love to enjoy traditional Mexican foods, with great refried beans as one of my favorites. Most refried bean recipes are loaded with fat (thus refried) for flavor. By adding salsa and using chicken broth, the fat in this recipe is greatly reduced and flavor is increased ten fold. Serve this recipe without mashing the beans, keeping the broth, and serving over a bowl of rice for a great beans and rice main course.

Whats there to interact, just take a stroll through a colored city district in the evening and enjoy the fun, not to mention you can recognize districts where blacks or muslims live by what an utter dump they are.

you're just proving my point here.. whites have crapped out neighbourhood as well.

Which is why its blacks who invented cars, antibiotics and free speech, oh wait ...

ever hear of slavery? there are plenty of very smart black or of other ethnicities.

But lets not get into that, the point is that these minorities create dangerous hostile dumps wherever they choose to live, why is that? They have the same opportunities and obstacles as whites yet they manage to make an absolute pit of out every place they stay and it transfers into relationships, its not like their cultural background doesnt play a part.

that is absolutely not true.. black, for example, do not have the same opportunities as whites.. partially because of the kind of attitudes you exemplify..

you're just wrong on this.. your bigotry is blinding you.

I was just observing and it's true, if they would have handsome boyfriends, I would have said so too, but they all looked like neanderthalers.

i'll second that.. i've seen it way too many times myself. :D
