Pepper??? Not this shape, look closer.

Squash??? Yes, patison squash.

Do you remember my stuffed zuchhinis 2 and 1 year ago?? I made two dozen of them and put in the freezer for future consumption. But now I am fed up with them. I decided to freeze only flat bases and add the stuffing onto them later according to my needs and tastes.

News / Ups and downs of the democratic government 2023-2027 in Poland [363]


Gumishu plays a fool as always and pretends he know nothing about crimes by United Right.

I have always admired the cheekiness of PIS rightist gangsters. They lie and cheat so blatantly that Pinochio is a small Bolek in comparison.

E.g, yesterday former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and former RARS chief Michał Kuczmierowski, Morawiecki`s stooge, decided to sue MEP Michał Szczerba for "violating their personal rights". The allegations are that "Morawiecki's people" are fleeing Poland and Kuczmierowski is "avoiding questioning".
The RARS Government Agency for Strategic Reserves is under the microscope of investigators. The media has written extensively about numerous suspicious cases, including the issue of orders to deliver generators to Ukraine for the clothing brand Red is Bad.

And today we can read that Michał Kuczmierowski is actually Michał K. because the National Prosecutor's Office announced the court's consent to the temporary arrest of Michał K., which will result in the issuance of an arrest warrant for him.

All four Polish females taking part in the 4th European Girls' Olympiad in Informatics won gold medals.

The 4th European Girls' Olympiad in Informatics (EGOI) took place in Veldhoven, Netherlands, at the end of July. Although the name suggests that only competitors from the Old Continent take part in the competition, in reality girls from all over the world take part in the competition. Each country can have a maximum of 4 people. This year, 195 competitors from 56 countries took part in the competition. According to the event organizers, the competition is held according to the rules of the International Olympiad in Informatics. The competition is individual. Over the course of two days, the participants of the Olympiad take part in two five-hour sessions, during which they solve algorithmic and programming tasks. 100 is the maximum number of points that can be earned for each of them - this year there were eight of them - four each day. The total number of points determines the place in the final ranking. Half of the participants are awarded medals in the proportion of 1:2:3 - gold, silver and bronze medals, respectively. 8.5 percent competitors receive gold medals.

A man from Senegal scored two strikes and was deported to his country.

A Senegalese man, who a few weeks ago, in front of gathered people, probably relieved himself at the "Na trzy stawach" swimming pool located in Katowice , was detained on Wednesday by Border Guard officers in Sosnowiec."In accordance with the procedures, they once again verified the legality of his stay in our country. The foreigner was unable to produce any identity document for inspection, let alone a document that would entitle him to legal residence in Poland ," the Border Guard reported.

A foreigner who already has a decision issued by the Commander of the Border Guard Post in Sosnowiec, obliging him to return to his country of origin, which he did not do voluntarily, is subject to forced escort to the border. On Wednesday, the man was taken by Border Guard officers under escort to the Warsaw - Okęcie airport, from where he flew to Senegal - it was indicated in the announcement.

Food / Polish food vs Ukrainian food [31]

Not really. But we have had Ukrainian borsch for decades or even centuries.


Not so minute.
Two examples which instantly come to my mind: Ukrainians relish on dried fish while Poles/Polesses don`t.
Ukrainians eat a lot of salo aka lard, even use it as a snack while in Poland it is used mainly for frying by a few people.

Lard sandwich below. The fact that I love such deli food means nothing coz I am not a good representative.

Wow, you are lucky to meet so many Ukrainians in Poland. I meet one per week, mostly a woman working in a shopping centre.
Now I don`t count Ukrainian students in my school. I somehow view them the same as Polish students.


Stop twisting. You were lying about President Zelensky requesting Poland to send back Ukrainian males and about Poland`s reaction. Such events haven`t taken place.

News / Dirty deeds of foreign guys in Poland [128]


Well, I thought it was a standard behaviour in civilised countries.
If you think different, then it means we have run into cultural disparities between Polish and Russian nationality. :):):):)


Exactly! hahahaha


Your imagination is carrying you too far. There wasn`t such a request from Mr President Zelensky so Poland had no chance to react to it.
Do you appreciate the fact that I didn`t call you out as a stinking liar???? hahahaha

PS. I have just read that the Chinese have reduced their import of Russian fuels and if that continues, Russia is cooked economically faster than predicted. Good!!!

Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread
Excellent thread but bears a silly name which I can never remember and lose a lot of time looking for it when I want to post sth coz I always try to find Sharp instead of Shorpy. Torq, can you assign your threads more practical names for the pure convenience of elderly posters like me?

I just read that
The Germans sentenced a 99-year-old woman. She was a secretary at the Stutthof concentration camp

A 99-year-old German employee of the former KL Stutthof camp was found guilty of aiding and abetting the deaths of over 9,000 people. The defense demanded the acquittal of Irmgard F. The court found that the woman had acted voluntarily. The sentence of two years' imprisonment was upheld.

AmaSSing!

Let me remind you that the last public execution in Poland concerned German workers of the Stutthof camp. Thousands of spectators came to see it. A show like in the Middle Ages! AmaSSing!

This secretary sentenced today was so fekking lucky.hahahaha

It took place in Gdańsk in 1946.

I am a little obsessed in the orchard, I must say. I mean I maintain those fruit plants as trees even when they have a natural tendency to grow as bush/shrub. My obsession costs me time spent twice or thrice a year on pruning shoots on the ground level.

Hazelnut trees, not shrubs. We have 3 now. Initially, it was 1 and I was perplexed why it didn`t have any nuts for a few years. Later I read about cross pollinating.

Here it is. I didn`t notice it at first coz it was hidden in this greenery. Paper apples were the fruit of my childhood in 1970s - they were very popular then. Strangely, they ceased to. Now they are advertised as vintage apple trees by seedling growers.
