Food / A soup to remember .... but I forgot !! [5]

a clean/golden broth, vinegar and sour cream, meatballs and maybe potatoes.

It sounds like Klopsy gotowane (Boiled meatballs). The receipt (in polish)you can find here: poszukiwaczesmaku.pl/index.php?id0=kociewie_przepisy&did=klopsy_gotowane

Language / difference among jechać, pojechać, and jeździć? [14]

Jeźdzę do Warszawy. (teraz = right now) Roughly equal to English present cont. "I'm travelling to Warsaw at the moment."

Jadę do Warszawy. (codziennie = daily) "I travel to Warsaw every day."

Jechałem do Warszawy. [imperf. past tense] "I traveled to Warsaw every day."

I may be wrong, but (I think) the order should be as follow:
Jeżdżę do Warszawy. (codziennie = daily) "I travel to Warsaw every day.
Jadę do Warszawy. (teraz = right now)
Jechałem do Warszawy. I traveled to Warsaw.

Language / (part 2) Polish Language Pronunciation - Sample Words and Phrases [311]

I think every native speaker of Polish would understand the meaning of włościanieć

Well, I am native speaker of Polish and I do not understand the meaning of włościanieć or zwłościanienie. It would be nice if you could provide a link to a reliable source so I could see that, in fact, this word has been used before.

Genealogy / Photos of Poland... curious where it could be? [16]

I don't understand what, "The parish church which I give to Mrs. Maria Rucinska" means?

It means that father Janicki gave the picture of the parish church to Maria Rucinska as a keepsake/souvenir.

Genealogy / Photos of Poland... curious where it could be? [16]

Assuming that they are connected to letters you posted, these pictures could be from Opatów, Sandomierz or Iwaniska.
First pic - there seem to be a word "opatowska" (right upper corner; "to jest kolegjata opatowska"?) which would indicate Opatów

Language / Expressing "happiness" in Polish [29]

Would you agree with the my interpretation of these words?

I have never used "spoko" so can't comment on that, otherwise you explanations seem fine to me.
The word I would add is:
Rewelacyjnie = extraordinary

News / Should Polish citizens living abroad have the right to vote in elections [69]

but there are Polish people abroad who would feel they kept themselves well informed (who may visit Poland throughout the year)

Up to year 2000 I used to travel to Poland every year (for a month each time) and believe me, between visiting relatives, friends and partying, there is not much time left for politics. After reading some of the posts made by Poles (living abroad) on this forum I can assure you that some of them have no clue.
