Life / Which animals are native to Poland? [103]


It isn`t a problem at first coz the pain is short like sb put a needle into your body and instantly retracted it.
A worse reaction comes 24 hours later - the bitten part swells and becomes horribly itchy which lasts for about 2 days. I scratch it like crazy. That is why I try to avoid such close encounters with wasps.


I moved the wasp nest a few metres away from that young tree which I needed to prune. Can you imagine the wasps which resided there were so stubborn they didn`t go with the nest but stuck to the trunk instead? I had to put the job off for a few days.

My red borsch which I drink every day is dark red. Crimson, sort of. And I have it only for breakfast.
As for courgettes/zuchini, a popular way to cook them is frying with cheese on top. Here, my wife`s dish.

It is less tedious than peeling them raw and my fingers are resistant to heat.


Wow! You eat them American style.

Food / Polish Potatoes [48]

For about 8 months each year we rely on our own potatoes which come in different sizes. I leave the big ones to my wife and kids while I take the small ones. I don`t have time to peel them before boiling, I do it when they are served on the plate.

Sorry, no. I said: nothing to do with road safety.

Travel / Poland in photo riddles - part 3 [818]

You are getting close coz the mock police car look is supposed to make drivers slow down. But still the riddle is - who drives the car if it isn`t the police or anybody involved in security/road safety etc???

Travel / Poland in photo riddles - part 3 [818]

Sorry, no.
Car breakdown service drives big yellow trucks.
Debt collectors are not so conspicuous in Poland to drive unusually painted cars.

Hint: The mock police car`s practicality is limited strictly to road context. It is supposed to warn and deter other drivers. What for???

Travel / Poland in photo riddles - part 3 [818]


Exactly, that is why I took this photo. It isn`t a police car but its owner made it look so for very practical reasons. Namely, what??

No monitoring, I already said no to security guess before.

Wasps live in several places in the orchard while hornets somewhere else but must be close coz when I open the wine container outside, they appear instantly.

They aren`t really a nuisance but my family are afraid of being bitten while picking fruit on which stingy insects prey. But such a fruit bite hasn`t happened yet. I am bitten about once a week when I move wasp nests in the orchard during grass cutting or tree care.

Wow!!! Amasing!

So, when they are small and go into the jar for pickling they are courgettes and when they are big enough for cooking, they are marrows! Excellent!
What is the size which marks the border between them?

Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1450]


But those marrows as you say were smaller before so were they possibly courgettes then???

Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1450]


Yes, a dozen jars are already standing next to the freezer. ):):) Plus one dozen of the last year`s production. U need to step up on consuming them.


Hmm, what`s the difference. Just take a look and you will know.
