I’ve Got 8 Bottles of Frisky-Hued Nail Polish, So What the Heck Am I Still Doing in NY?
I’ve been dragging my feet lately regarding our move to either the Cape or Myrtle Beach. And the reason is the weather. Putting aside the slight drought, it’s been gorgeous just about every single day. Closing your eyes and sipping a cool drink is a lot easier than poring over thousands of houses. Dreaming of … Continue reading
What Gathering Mushrooms, Wisniowka and Blog Awards Have in Common
In the scorching heat of the European summer afternoons, after the rain sprinkles it’s last luminous drops of refreshing water, the young people in Poland (at least in the mountain village my mother’s family lives in), grab their baskets and quickly make their way into the woods. To “gather mushrooms”. At least that’s what they tell … Continue reading

Oh Dear God, Don’t Sit On the Pineapple!!
You are about to be the first to find out. I’m dumping Bob. He’s just not hot anymore. I admit that I have been rough on him lately – using him around the clock, over and over. I suppose I had to expect him to just get tired and stop responding the way I need … Continue reading
Today’s Dilemma – Balls or Birds?
Yep, I’m one of THOSE. A “coupon clipper”. And this morning I am devoting a tiny chunk of time to “cutting money out of circulars”, with the help of, of course, my two littlest. My three year old is learning how to read and is “delighting” me with every word she reads – “Are you … Continue reading
GASP!! Erotic Thrills Tonight and My Nominations for the Sunshine Award
Ahhh…Friday. Tonight I get to slip into a silky, royal blue silk dress and sky-high pumps and enjoy myself at a local artist’s reception here in Saratoga. I always get an erotic thrill coursing through my body when I get to meet the creators of beautiful artwork – there is something titillating for me to be … Continue reading
A Public Apology to My Mom, and Mrs. Sparkly’s Ten Commandments Award
I am not proud about what I am about to confess to you. Worst of all, I know I will disappoint my mother the most. I committed a HUGE sin in Polish tradition. I used instant potatoes in my pierogie. It has been a bit incredibly difficult to sit down and write a proper post these last few weeks. The weather … Continue reading
Zapiekanki, Dzelten Maize and Part 3 of My Versatile Blogger Nominations!!
My favorite food in Poland (OK, one of my favorite foods in Poland) is zapiekanki, and from sessions at nometne as a child – dzelten maize. The zapiekanki that conjur up the best memories for me were (probably still are) sold by outside vendors near the bus and train stations in Rzeszow. These are similar to grilled French bread pizzas topped with … Continue reading
