Food / Polish Sour Milk / Maślanka [44]

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.

Here we appeal for any news on missing members who have dropped off our radar

Any one know what ever happened to Goonie and Eastender? Did they fall off the face of the earth? Lol!

Genealogy / Do Polish people have big noses? [451]

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.

Genealogy / Are all Poles blue eyed and blonde? [451]

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.

USA, Canada / Polish people in LA / California [28]

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 / Do Polish people have big noses? [451]

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.

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.

Food / Bread Baking in Poland [65]

My bread is always an awkward size and shape and always has a hole in the bottom.

I didn't know you're a baker too. My goodness so many talents!

Life / Polish ghost stories [38]

I don't live in Poland. However, my 100+ year old home is said to be haunted.
Haunted or not, I think my home is unique and has plenty of character.

Genealogy / Polish Surnames Anglicized? [48]

I was just wondering how many of your last names have been anglicized?

Many of my ancestor's surnames have become butchered. Not by choice, they blame it in on Ellis Island.

Work / Any TEFL teachers in Poland out there? [28]

I have a Trinity Certificate that I have never used-have mine for free

Within the state of California, substitute teachers in the past were only required to possess a CBEST certificate. They're now required to obtain a bachelor's degree, in addition to the certificate.

I just wanted to see if there are any teachers of English as a foreign language on this site.

Hello Keatsgray,

I've been thinking about obtaining a teaching credential, in Elementary School education.
My goal is to teach EL students, within the state of California. My family members consist of a long line of school teachers. I suppose teaching in my blood.

I wish you success, in achieving and demonstrating your educational teaching skills in Poland.

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.

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.

Life / Do Polish People steal a lot? [330]

Heck no I don't steal. My parents always taught my siblings and myself that we'd go to HELL for doing things like that! Then again, they pounded that same thought in our head, pertaining to almost every temptation we may encounter in life!

Love / All Polish women can't be nutters can they? [257]

The problem was that while were talking wwe couldnt help but kiss

It seems like sometimes a kiss happens in the heat of the moment.

I have a very good male friend. We've been friends over 3 years. One day we were talking on my couch. To my surprise, he leaned over and stole a kiss. I was completely shocked. I didn't kiss him back. He apologized for his action.

To this day I still feel a little uncomfortable when I see him. However, I'm not going to let a stupid little thing like a kiss, come between our 3 year friendship.
