Life / Struggling young Polish couple - try to solve their problem [176]

My wife and I just bought a house in Poland. While looking for a mały biały dom we found hundreds of half built places for sale at a low price. Maybe they could look into that? The caveat being, there might be a reason the original owner gave up on it...

Food / Siemieniotka [14]

If you can't find hemp seeds, pot seeds will do. :->
My wife makes it each Christmas. She says it tastes horrible, but it wouldn't be Christmas without it. Her sons both love it so...

As my wife makes it it involves boiling the seeds, grinding them, boiling again, grinding again... repeat as many times as your patience allows.
At the last boiling add some onion, then when it's done salt and pepper to taste.
And she is Śląsk and only makes it at Christmas..

Oh, and throw away what's left of the seeds and the onions. Siemieniotka is the broth.
And my wife tells me I shouldn't say "grind" like meat I should say "hit it and beat it" like a husband

Study / A Polish for foreigners school in the Lubin, Polkowice, or Chojnow area? [2]

I'm retired, living in Poland with my wife (Polka) and I would like to find a school where I can go once a week or so to learn Polish.

I am about equidistant from Lubin, Polkowice, and Chojnow. Does anyone know of schools offering Polish for obcy in this area? I'm not looking for work or higher education so formal recognition or degrees are not important. I just want to look less stupid when I meet the neighbors. :->
