Ahem, think that was me. But I was merely pointing out that Russians also regard pierogi as a Russian dish ;)

Travel / Zakopane for Sylvester - is it time to book now? [32]
I think the best bet would be to look at the towns around and outside Zako, 1.Because they are less commercial 2. Will have a more "Polish" style NYE.
Anyway I can't talk, this year I'm going to the worlds biggest hogmanay party in Edinburgh! Either that or am heading up into the Mountains with the family to rent out a wooden cabin:)

Anyone who reads the label on a packet of pierogi. ;)
Who outside of Poland would know this? I bet a lot of Poles don't even know it... I've seen them call them perogies. Damn impossible language...

not when you're paying a huge amount to what is essentially just to get drunk in some pub where it takes you 30mins to order a beer :D
Isn't NYE about drunken crowds lighting fireworks and counting down before they pass out?

On the contrary, Roznow is great for NYE, that's why I kept going back there. A group of about 10 of us would rent a chalet for 2 nights for 20pln per night each. Plus the owner made your breakfast, lunch and dinner for you for free and put up a NYE party in the hall for the village with LOTS of cheap beer and many attempts to kill the lot of us by dodgey drunk attempts to set of fireworks. Can't recommend the place more!
*note to self, the girls in Roznow are very....
*note to self avoid Roznów and Talin this NYE* ;)

Food / Kotlet schabowy again. I love it. [47]
Not always, a lot of the juices are held up in the meat also. Good marbling on red meat steaks will make for juicier steaks. On pork cooking it on the bone is as good as cooking it with the fat. Many high end kitchens will cook the fat and the meat seperate and deliver it to your as if it has been cooked together;)
I thought that the majority of the juices are from the fat, which aside from pulverizing the thing, shouldn't be too much of an issue.

This tends to break up the tissue fibres too much and allows the natural juices to be released too quickily. Fry on a very high heat and finishing in the oven will give you a much better tasting cut of meat, especially if you then allow it to sit for at least 5 mins after cooking.

Unless it's a cheaper cut...
Why is it that so many people don't take the time or have the patience just to cook the meat for longer. Tenderizing it only will make the cut drier.
There is no reason to take a mallet to any cut of steak worth eating.

And it's been battered to hell with a rolling pin! Why people want to mutilate meat like that is beyond me!
it's nothing more than a pork chop, but without the flavour.

Guess you could also throw Pierogi also into that basket as most Russians would also tell you it's their dish. Most food from that region tends to mix and be very similar to other dishes from other countries.

Law / Poland residency dilemma - illegal worker affecting my income [19]
This is the point, its Krakow and I know the teaching scene there inside out. There are plenty of teachers to choose from so what's the need to employ illegals?....hmmmm....no need to pay zus or tax if cash in hand or simple bank transfer?

Therefore I wouldn't call him out, as the employer will be happier paying him than paying a legally teaching American :/

Sorry to ask, but if that is the case, why did you hire this teacher in the first place? It's seems to me that, although he may not be in the country legally, as an employer you should be helping him with the legwork to be in the country legally....and therefore you wouldn't have the problem you have now. Hmmmm American employer of illegal teachers in Krakow, sounds interesting...
but it doesn't seem fair that I could face deportation due to an insufficient workload while he continues to stay and teach without doing the legwork necessary to be here legally.

Wouldn't that be the goal of any investor? foreign or not?
Foreign investors would invest wherever they see potential for profit, not out of goodness of their heart so I don't see the connection.

Exactly, There are many many people earning a lot less than that and they get by quite comfortably enough by making their money work.
I would too if you don't know the local economy.
so - here's the secret - we made our salaries be enough, people thought we were rich.

Are you sure about that, cos im sure it may not be the case since they were a German tribe that settled in England after the roman occupation.
Angles was the first term which was coined by the Romans.
