Food / Electric Grilling - I highly recommend it :) [30]

I don't know what this is.

amazon.com/Weber-87886-Chimney-Starter/dp/B00004U9VV

It starts the coal evenly and in about 10 minutes you dump it in the grill and go! They sell these starter pellets but all you need is a couple newspapers

That's what I have. The classic Weber grill... round... black...

Yeah, the Smokey Joe is the little mini one it works great and you can take it anywhere!

Do you use a charcoal chimney to get them started? I refuse to use lighter fluid all you need is 2 pieces of newspaper with the chimney.

I seen those ones, they look like those aluminum baking pans,,lol

Not into 'brittish invasion' either. Hehehehe.

Yeah, they want to start clearing people out of there around 9:00 on Monday, so they throw in a lousy Elton John band to run people out of there by closing time.

damn some of those people look really dorky.

You would of had a good time, everyone is friendly:)

They're good for indoors in the wintertime when you you don't feel like cooking outside in the cold.

And it works quickly too, You can cook a steak or burgers in 10 mins!

Winter, I hate it, and its coming soon.

We have already started to get cool at night,,,great summer though!!

Beckski

Are you talking about the Weber "smokey Joe" ? I have one of those also.

You can take them anywhere, Picnic, beach etc

Theyre great!

Food / How to cook Frozen pierogi? Boil or Fry? [90]

Fry those puppies in the bacon grease!

Pierogis are fattening enough, Ive been using olive oil to fry them.

They are one of my favorite foods, definitely!

This one?

It has ghosts too,,lol

Here's some of the fried, crispy critters we had purchased in Warszawa

Those look yummy!

I had a kebab for the first time in my life. The flavor reminded me of tacos... :)

That was bizarre tasting, Ewww!

The kielbasa was the best!! maybe because it was grilled?
And those Potato pancakes were very tasty:)

Wish I was there...... good for you that you had so much fun!!! :-

Viva Polonia!!!

It was great,,Im going back again tomorrow!

Pics coming soon, after I cure my Hangover,,,lol

Polish people are the nicest!
Yesterday when I arrived there I paid $6.00 to get in and then purchased $40 for food and drink tickets. I had the Polish plate and then went to buy a couple of beers for my friend a I.

Well the bartenders were drinking also, so I started messing around with them. I dont know what I did but they befriended me, and gave us free beer all night!!

They refused to take my tickets,,thats so cool!

These people that run the festival would probably just give you food if you didnt have money
thats how nice they are:)

Everybody there was laughing, dancing, eating and drinking, it was such a good time!

Babcias Grill

Polska Kobiety

A few souvenir stands also

shy girl..lol

more food

busted,,haha

Yeah, Im going back tomorrow for sure, I still have $20 in tickets:)
Ill take some more pics, Im hoping the Sobieski girls and Ms. Polonia are there

And its that good Polish beer Strawski, it tastes kind of like Okocim

Much better and stronger than watery Miller lite, they got me wasted!! lol

The food is awesome too!!

USA, Canada / American Polonia. Wisconsin - the most Polish state? [112]

ah, They just dont like you flatlanders and F.I.B's.

Yeah, but he was asking me about Mississippi:)

If it wasn't for guys from Chicago coming up to deer

Wisconsin would be broke if the FIBS stopped going.

The fat chicks would never get laid.

Wisconsin has the fattest women in the country, they need 2 bar stools ,,,lol

Illinois charges about 12 bucks on my I-pass every time I go home

Its the biggest Rip-off, I hate it too!

George

Ya, you have to be 21, If I remember correctly they do the wristband thing.

The food is great, I think the Polish plate was $10 and you get like 2 globaki, 4 pierogi, kielbasa and some potato pancakes.
I couldnt finish it all!!

To be fair it was over 10 years ago when it happened, and Ive made the trip several times since then without incident.

Some people are really nice (Southern Hospitality) it does exist, but then you also have your Rebel Rednecks and they dont like us Yankees! lol

what do you know about Mississippi?

Drove through it a few times, Ive been to Gulfport once. They had a beautiful beach community until Katrina destroyed most of it.

I used to live in Florida, thats my favorite place!

I really dont like the southern states, having them calling me yankee, getting pulled over by the Cops and being harassed because I have Illinois license plates.

They hate Abraham Lincoln and most of them think the civil war is still going on??

I usually just stop for gas in those states, until I make it into FL and it gets normal again:)

The most Polish state in the US is New Jersey. Second, New York. Third, Pennsylvania.
Then, you got Illinois and maybe Michigan. Wisconsin follows after all those.

Where did you find this or are you making things up again???

Chicago has more Poles than any other city in the world (besides Warsaw)

Most Poles have left Wisconsin years ago, just re-read the beginning of the thread.

"shite"

Limey alert!!!

Feedback / The image of Poland according to PolishForums [90]

sledz, you are not often on PF anymore, so you don't know what's going on.

Actually, I have better things to do with my time, unlike you

I live around more Polish ppl than you do, thats a fact!

Why did you move to USA,,let me guess, it sucked in Poland and you didnt have any money?

Give me a break with the self-righteous BS

but it's kinda accurate. :)

The truth really bothers some people,,lol

As opposed to everyone else who constantly trolls this site? :)

You hit it on the head Sean, the place never changes, same ol crap,,different day

Feedback / The image of Poland according to PolishForums [90]

Does it create good or bad image of Poland and polish people?

It sounds like a real Hell Hole from what gets written on this forum.

Everybody wants to move away from there, why is that?

How many Poles left for the UK or overstay their Visa`s in the US,,,too many!

Poles only care about money and will abandon their county at first chance, thats what I learned on PF

Not a very good Image of Poland from this forum, thats for sure!
