How long would this keep in the fridge after making? I've had Kompot before but the smoky tasting one usually served at Xmas.

Could be the end of the leek lifecycle but they can be produced in response to extreme weather. Cut them off and the leek will keep growing.
You can eat them which I'm sure you've done.

Food / Help with Polish recipe - Żurek soup? [25]
All my favourite Polish foods :)
I'm not sure what's going on either. The thread title has been changed to include the words ' Żurek soup', so it now looks like I was suggesting a type of soup that the OP already knew about. There's also a quote in my post that I didn't make.
On other threads I've had quotes removed with the end result that what I was saying no longer made sense.
Interesting. I bet not many people do that anymore.
other Polish traditional food, like pierogi, naleśniki and sernik (cheesecake) :) ❤️

the moderator messed up my post and it can be confusing now

My grandma would hang the cheese in the cheesecloth tied to a knob of a kitchen cupboard and let the liquid drip

Polonia / Should I visit Portugal? [35]
I can't imagine a more boring holiday.
Me neither although I suppose if you are a family with kids it might work out to be cheaper.
Maybe they don't have a choice but to take them. You're presuming that grandparents have retired and aren't still working. That might not be the case.
they often don't leave the hotel at all,

I've never understood that... mentality...

Food / Help with Polish recipe - Żurek soup? [25]
The soup sounds like Żurek, Polish sour rye soup, which is made from fermented rye flour and is traditionally served at Easter.
everydayhealthyrecipes.com/polish-zurek-rye-soup-recipe/
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sour_cereal_soup
In Poland this is called Twaróg ( Polish farmer's cheese )
It sounds like your mother was trying to extract any remaining liquid in the cheese by pressing it. Maybe someone else here can help as I've not heard of this method before.

Is something dispensed inside there? Looks a little like something you'd get coffee out of if it weren't for the door on there.

I'm not sure if it's the same as clearing cache/cookies etc
I don't bother doing that anymore as it messes up all passwords etc. I've only ever had to do that for this forum and last time I did it I had endless problems with my google account.
Sadly, my boxes will remain forever white :(
This is double Dutch to me. :):)

This is probably going to sound nuts but is it an aid to getting into the vehicle? It's difficult to tell how high up off the ground the door to get in is from the photo.
