it'd be great if people from PF show up there...

Yes it would. A few members from PF are from around that area. ;)

i don't think it's going to be a big deal,

It is what you make it. I hope it's fun. :)

Yeah I know, I think I need glasses, old age is catching up with me:)

He he :) You're not that old...surely... ;)

i'm going with my Polish girl friend... and maybe one more will like to go with us...
i'm going to take my camera so i may post some moments from heaven here... ;)

If this is the third one did you go to the other 2? If so, what were they like? I didn't know Houston had a Polish festival at all.

All these Polish festivals always happen thousands of miles away from me. :|

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]

For instance, despite that history, this is not why Seanus selected his Polish girl. His seems more the natural result of geographic location,

Well, at a guess he didn't "select" a Polish girl at all. His travels took him to Poland where he met a girl whom he connected with and so they are together. Location may be correct but also could have been in any other country and met a Polish girl or indeed a girl from another country either there or in Poland. It's because they connected as people not because of their nationality.

. But I am more interested in hearing of romantic interaction of today and the reasons for it.

Well, there is one simple reason for it. Previous to 2004 there were a small amount of Polish people here and now there are thousands. So it's natural that there is more romantic interaction. Again though, people fall in love because they are attracted to a person for a personality reason, not because of where they come from. (If it is an attraction, it will not keep them together if they are not right for each other).

Please tell me more about your multiple daily varied contacts with a Polish man (men?). I assure you, it is only for scientific reasons that I ask. ;)

In general terms, I work with Polish men, I socialise with Polish men.

I wish someone would explain to me this apparent fascination girls have to men in skirts.

Kilt is quite different from skirt but never mind that. Only men of a certain build can carry off looking good in a kilt, too skinny or too fat and the look is lost. The kilt is a Scottish national dress and when it's worn properly it's fantastic. I get a bit hacked off with this skirt thing, many forget that tradition says the kilt should be worn with nothing underneath, so really it's only hardy men who can wear something that doesn't cover their legs, doesn't protect them from the weather really and don't wear anything under. No comforting trousers for the Scottish man!

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]

There seem to be a number of Scottish folks here on this board. Why is that?
What is the draw to things Polish for Scottish nationals?

Scotland and Poland have a long history together. The connections between the two are especially evident around WWII but do go back much further than that.

Personally I've always had Polish friends, I think it's just a natural connection.

Law / How do I verify a Polish company's existence? [240]

I'd probably not reply to them even if it's jokingly. Your email is just on a list of email addresses they spam out too. If you reply you just open yourself up to problems I feel.

Law / How do I verify a Polish company's existence? [240]

Ah just when I thought I was going to be making alot of money!! HA

I read in a local newspaper here that an elderly lady was scammed out of £105,000 (her entire life savings) by one of these letters. Shocking.

Law / How do I verify a Polish company's existence? [240]

Without a doubt that is a scam and don't get caught by it. Why would a professional company that could offer so much then have a googlemail email address? They didn't leave a phone number either despite say you could call them.

Another reason I know this is a scam is because I receive such emails often in my hotmail account and I have never posted a resume on-line.

History / Unusual soldier (The bear - named Voytek) [71]

Thanks for those addresses sjam. There was a hope that she would be able to write something significant to speak about at his funeral but time has almost ran out for that. I think now we're both going to do some research anyway.

Travel / Motorcycle tour of Poland [137]

you can hire bikes there

www,bikers-tours.com [i][/i]

Most of that site is still under construction. I'm sure if you ever get it finished it will be a good site.

the more 404s crop up.

A bit disappointing that the links lead to 404s. Here was me planning a motorbike tour around Poland too...

That's true, I enjoy it a lot.

I like 'al dente' but łazanki squares tend to be a bit mushier, especially when heated up and served with mushroom sauce. Yummy!

I think I should ignore this thread now because the tummy is starting to rumble... ;)

Good, I'll give it a bash at some point. Regarding the pasta, I like to try and make my own whenI can. So we'll see how that goes...;)

Variation on a Polish theme, I made potato pancakes today using mashed potato (no flour or eggs just some milk to smooth them out a little). I mixed in garlic powder, herbs and white pepper then made two big ones and fried them up. They were tasty! :) Apologies about the picture size, using new photo-editing program, think I'll change back...sigh.

I made kapuśniak the other day. Mmmm....

I made small golabki last week but didn't take a picture (was in too much of a hurry to eat :) Made a tomato sauce to go with them and they were...lovely... :)

We should collect recipes and have a cook book printed. All proceeds to go to a needy Polish family.

Now I would like to see that in the shops "The Official PolishForums.com Cookbook". Imagine that...

:)
