But she still can stand up to bullies when needed. When Devil Dante playfully attacks Ginger, the latter remains placid and passive most of the time and it looks like Devil is hurting him. It is the time when Black Pearl joins the action and defends Ginger, hissing at Devil. He usually withdraws in amazement. Amasing!

The second shows the celebration of Teacher`s Day two days after on 16.10. The third, another celebration on 19.10 I don`t remember: getting a prize for educational successes or the 30th anniversary of working as a teacher????

The fourth one was also served to celebrate the Teacher`s Day but before the actual day.

When Poles and Polesses hug, they do it for real, with full bear like embrace. Not like Americans who only pretend a hug.

I see. Why doesn`t the congress organisers provide more food so that participants don`t fight for it?

Last spring and summer I planted and replanted new and old fruit bushes.
Eg, I decided to enlarge our plantation of American blue berries. They are one of most fave fruit to most of the family.

No, only gluttons do it. Stop selling such lousy advice, it is Poland, not your incel basement during a party in US white trash ghetto. hahahaha

I am not a glutton like you so I stack only half of what is available on offer. And then I repeat the procedure again and again. That is decent eating. Ha!!!!

Coz it is a beautiful Polish tradition. Food was always considered God`s gift which mustn`t be wasted. When a piece of bread fell onto the floor, people picked it up, kissed and ate or put back on the table.

A great poet Norwid wrote:

Do kraju tego, gdzie kruszynę chleba
Podnoszą z ziemi przez uszanowanie
Dla darów Nieba....
Tęskno mi, Panie...

I miss the country where crumbs of bread
are picked up from the ground through respect
For the gifts of Heaven....
I miss it, Lord...

I said it in 2021. And I still stick to my tradition of not wasting the tiniest produce which I have grown.
Check this baby corn and baby potatoes combined with hot smoked chicken parts or minced meat.
