Food / Borscht - Zurek / Bialy barszcz recipe [153]

Yes, and a wonderful film by the same name: -urek. Could a recipe be given more exactly for English speakers? I'd like to try, but, not being used to making such a soup, could a more exact recipe be given? Zapraska: is this like a thickening? How much water? Bake the kielbasa in the oven, and then in the water on top of the stove? Cut the kielbasa into pieces or remove from the soup?

Sorry, if I don't get more information, I am sure to make a mess....:)
In the film the hero buys the źurek to keep a snooty tourist from getting it, and making the poor locals feel even worse...I loved that film. Zamachowski.

Life / Polish Film World and Poland Movie Reviews [30]

Hey, I might be the oldest person here, and I have just discovered Polish film!Kieślowski, and, even more wonderful, Zbigniew Zamachowski, in Dekaloge and Blanc, both directed by Kieślowski. Gajos and Stuhr are also both wonderful to me.

I don't have any Polish language, and have been reading subtitles. I hope I am getting the 'real' gist of the stories. There is something here that speaks to my soul, yes, a 'mood', but also that life is just these little slices, pieces put together, and we must pay very close attention. I saw an old interview with Kieślowski, and he said he isn't trying to make one think any specific thing, just to think, just to notice what's happening. Americans (not me, of course!) are lazy in thinking, they don't want to go soul deep, they want only to see what's on the surface.
