Food / Traditional Polish Foods [141]

I'm surprised you can taste it in a large pot of fruit and water.

Yes, I can, especially when I bite into a soggy piece of clove in a glass of kompot. hahahaha

You have reverted to the old Pawian

I have remained myself the same for years....... :):):)

political animal that you were.

Not were but still am. I have never ceased to lash at rightists which once infuriated you and you attacked me with personal abuse for that. That is why I claim - you have changed and I appreciate it. :):):) The truth is that I attack nobody unless they provoke me.

Yes, 50 years old. Amasing.

Yes, Scotland. You are still not sure after reading the plate??? In Poland we see GD on the plate and immediately we know it is from Gdańsk.

Some very blurred plants.

yes, the photo is blurred because the camera was moving fast. But there is sth else clearly visible. What namely???

Have you seen them eating the plants?

Nope because when I see them, they are already busy running away after hearing or noticing me coming. :):):) And when I come closer to the place where they have dined, I can see the evidence of their feasts.
There is one old fat hare which isn`t afraid like others. He starts running at the very last moment, when I approach by about 20 metres.

How long would this keep in the fridge after making?

10 days or even longer. If not refridgerated, it starts fermenting after 2 days.

plum brandy

I don`t make such strong alcohol. Only wine.

the smoky tasting one usually served at Xmas.

Made of prunes or dried pears. It is a bit different.

I made kompot with red and yellow mini plums:

Guess what! Today I have taken out the last but one bottle. There were more than I showed in the photo above. But on hot days like the most are during this summer I drink a few litres of liquids.

News / Will Poland as a NATO member be drawn into the Israel/Iran war ? [250]

what would be "hostile" to the US would be "hostile" to Europe.

It means we are inseperable allies and have to support each other. Ha! The US sends weapons to Ukraine for free while Poland buys them for hard currency and there is a perfect balance in nature. Ha!!!
Thank you for this remark which is quite intelligent on your part. Amasing!!!

Yes, you are one coz you stupidly believe you can talk back to decent Poles and Polesses without obtaining a proper rebuttal which is driving you even madder than you naturally are. Ha!!!

how it all changed in a mere 40

Mere 40 means you are like those biblical heroes who lived 200 years and longer, like Henoch, for example. hahahaha

Kompot!!!!

When in NYC in 1990 during the economic recession, I looked for a job as a waiter in various eateries. I also visited a Polish restaurant in Manhattan. They didn`t employ me but gave me their menu brochure as consolation. I read it all and found KOMPOT which amased me completely.
This year we have coped with the abundance of fruit including mini plums so I decided to make kompot. Very easy - just boil the fruit in sugared water. You can also add some spices like clove. Delicious!

I made a few gallons of it and put in the freezer.

History / Crazy 1990s in Poland - transition from communism to capitalism - stories [111]

Got my first PC (386) in exactly the same year you bought yours.

Which is 1992. But my PC was 286 and after two years I realised it was too weak to play some new exciting games on it. I regretted not buying a 386 but I can`t blame myself for my proverbial meanness aka frugality.

Aaaah... the nostalgia.

Nostalgia which is fully satisfied coz I still play games from 1990s: The Patrician, Civilisation 1, Panzer General, Imperialism etc etc What about you???

Got my first computer in 1985, when I was still in pre-school, but it was just a ZX Spectrum 48k.

Not just but a cult mini computer which a lot of young people dreamt of but it was only available for hard currency in Pewex shops.

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]

this huge computer was built by Electronic Works Elwro in Wrocław.

And the first computer magazine was published in 1985. Bajtek was the name. My brother in law lent me his Amiga mini computer in 1989 and I bought my first own PC in 1992.
