The Soviets have entered. I order a general withdrawal to Romania and Hungary by the shortest routes. Do not fight the Bolsheviks..........,

Life / Polish grandma`s advice on life and food [30]
Mr Makłowicz, a culinary gourmet expert, recommends beer as an unusual marinade. Instead of the traditional milk, the journalist marinates the fish in light beer, which makes the meat more aromatic and exceptionally tasty.
To achieve the optimal effect, remember to marinate for several hours - that's how much time must pass for the fish to soak in the attractive flavors.

Mushroom patties with fish liver and poppy seed rolls
Ćwierczakiewiczowa writes in her "365 Dinners": "mushroom pates are most often served on Christmas Eve, and then you can mix fish livers, ground into a pulp, with the mushrooms. Boil young, good dried mushrooms and chop them into a mass; take a spoonful of butter, throw in, and when it boils, chop the onion, fry."
"Then add the mushrooms, a few spoons of cream, fish liver if there is any, a little pepper, salt, a handful of breadcrumbs; mix over the heat to thicken, and arrange on pancakes made of puff or butter pastry, cover with another pancake, brush with egg and place in a hot oven, covering the top with paper."

Soviets captured a few hundred thousand Polish military in the east. Those Jewish officers were decent and went with their soldiers into capticity.
It wasn`t their fault that the rightist gov of Poland had ordered them to refrain from fighting the Red Army. They only obeyed orders coz they were soldiers.
how did they get captured in the first place?

Thank you for reminding us how Polish conservative elites sold us to Russia and Poland ceased to exist coz they feared liberal ideas might damage their businesses.
Fortunately, today we are in the enlightened EU and though our conservatives are still strong, they are losing support steadily and irrevocably. Thanks to Polish women who started taking things in their hands at last instead of being passive as before.

Possible although she promoted a healthy life style
Ćwierczakiewiczowa had modern, for her times, views on issues such as hygiene, cleanliness and health. An additional value of realism and authenticity to her advice was the fact that she referred to the opinions of well-known and respected medical authorities from Warsaw (and not only). According to one of the researchers of Lucyna Ćwierczakiewiczowa's work, Izabela Wodzińska, by promoting a healthy diet, movement and gymnastics, Ćwierczakiewiczowa was far ahead of her times and became a precursor of the lifestyle that is prevalent today . She herself was very obese.
It must be sth else, then.
I know!!! She had just recalled the sad fate of Polish women trampled upon by sick males. Her life and career was unique and other women could only dream of achieving such a success in a patriarchal society.

Food / Polish Christmas Eve Dinner recipes [84]
Her suggestion for Christmas Eve dish was sweet almond soup:
Here`s the recipe:
to cook Christmas Eve almond soup you need: "a pound of sweet almonds, 10 bitter ones, scalded, peeled, chopped very finely, then drilled in a pot, sprinkling with water or milk so that they do not release the oil".
"Pour two quarts of boiled water into this mass. Mix and press through a napkin or a thick sieve, pound the pulp again, pour in a little of the same decoction and squeeze through a napkin again. Put in half a pound or even three quarters of fine sugar and mix."
"Separately, cook the rice loosely in milk or water, if the soup is to be for dry fasting, with sugar, cinnamon and seedless raisins; put it in a tureen and pour over the soup. This soup can be served hot or cold. Real almond soup, or orgeat soup, is always made only with water. Proportion for 6 to 8 people."
One day I will try it out!!!

Mrs Ćwierczakiewiczowa (hey, foreigners, pronounce it! hahahaha ) was a famous recipe collector, inventor and culinary writer in 19th century. Her cook books were more popular than patriotic literature at the time.
In 1883, she received a total of 84,000 rubles for publishing her books, which was almost three times the value of a large landed estate. Ćwierczakiewiczowa's high earnings became the subject of two feuilletons in Warsaw magazines (in " Kłosy " and " Tygodnik Ilustrowany "). In terms of circulation, Ćwierczakiewiczowa's books exceeded the editions of works by Adam Mickiewicz or Słowacki .
After 1870 she ran a salon at 3 Królewska Street , where she entertained guests with dishes she prepared.
