Food / Traditional and lesser known foods of Poland [21]

faworki - pastry twisters

Are those the same as the powdered sugar buttefly twists?
I've made those before from egg roll skins. It's a lot easier than making your own pastry from scratch.

Food / Traditional and lesser known foods of Poland [21]

The Polish Bazaar in Los Angeles is where I was first introduced to the butterfly twists.
None of my relatives seem to know how to make them. I need to find a good recipe, because mine seem to turn out a little greasy.

Genealogy / Do Polish people have big noses? [450]

Big nose is sexy

I certainly don't have a big nose; yet I have relatives who do. I think their nose gives them character.

Genealogy / Do Polish people have big noses? [450]

The last Polish boyfriend I had, did have a rather large nose, when we first met.
Eventually, he had rhinoplasty surgery. He looked very handsome after his received his nose job. However, I think he looked much better with his original nose, God had given him.

You've just missed the Polish Bazaar in Los Angeles. It's held yearly at Our Lady of the Bright Mount church, on the last Sunday in September.

Genealogy / Are all Poles blue eyed and blonde? [450]

Are all poles blue eyed and blonde???

I'm a Polish lady who's blue-eyed and blonde. I don't consider these features to be undesirable.

Many of my ancestors both male and female, had much darker features.

My daddy had a big nose. I think it made him look more handsome. He used to tell me I had a button nose. He thought it was too small.

They say dogs look like their owners

I wonder if it's good for us Krysia, that we both own Chihuahuas. Lol!

it takes a lot of milk to make cheese

I was astonished at the amount of milk required, when we made a small amount of cheese, in a biology lab at school.

find the Polka(s)

The blonde is the one who resembles me, the most out of the group. However, I'd have to say all of the above are Polskas.

Life / IS CHEATING ON EXAMS OK? (younger Poles don't think so) [30]

cheating on exams is a serious offence

Some of the universities in California may ban the presence of cell phones, during the taking of school exams. This is due to various students being caught in the act, of taking a photo of the actual test.

USA, Canada / Cigarettes reach nine dollars a pack in New York [109]

Coworkers buy their cigs in cartons at smokeshops. Depending on the brands, the average cost is $5.00+ per pack.

Over the wknd I saw them for sale at a local casino for $7.00 per pack. I'm sure the price has probably gone up since then.

similar wild life where you live.

I don't live in Poland, I live in the United States. A skunk has been camping out in my yard the past 2 nights (driving my Chihuahua crazy.) I also get other vistors, including an occasional raccoon or oppossum.

My turn, my turn!

I'm told I have a big Polish forehead (as you can see in my first pic.)
My eyes are more detailed in my second pic.

Today I went to a different casino, with my parental unit. Neither of us smoke, buy I'm surprised to see that cigs are still priced @ $7.00 per pack.
