I do not know whether there are people who do not like red borscht, but if they are, they are very sad people. Borsch is absolutely perfect. You can drink it plain, with minipies. You can leave beets and add potatoes or beans. You can add a plethora of vegetables and have Ukrainian borscht. You … [Read more…]
Did you notice how fresh snow awakens our inner child? That child who came back from school and gone this longer route just to slide off the hill on a school bag or biology notebook? That child, who at the sight of a frozen puddle, became a talented skater and start training right away? … [Read more…]
Yesterday evening I discovered that autumn has arrived completly unnoticed. Although on farmers market reign pumpkins and chanterelles, hundreds of varieties of apples and pears, plums “perfect for the jam”, but the days are sunny and warm (even hot). Although I’m closing the window for the night and I’ve pulled a blanket out of … [Read more…]
I want to tell you today about the force of habit. My mom hated cleaning. I inherited this reluctance. But, in this our no-tidy home was one place where everything was always in order. And this place was a bookcase. Actually, a lot of bookshelves, spread throughout the apartment. Fiction proudly flexed on most … [Read more…]
Lots of time passed till I posted bread on the blog. Maybe it’s because I rarely eat bread and rarely bake, one loaf is enough for a few days. But if I bake, then, of course, there must be something – colored. Today, carrot bread. With spelt flour, with black cumin and black sesame seeds. … [Read more…]

Spinach with beet, goat cheese with cucumber, avocado with grapes. In this company pizza with new potatoes and goat cheese is nothing … [Read more…]
I have my inner miser, who stops me from spending money on seemingly ordinary things. Such as bus ticket. I can’t convince mysel to pay for the two stops. Especially, that along the way I have the park (or I can have it if I go somewhat roundabout way). A summer park is overgrown like … [Read more…]
I know I promised you a post on yesterday, but.. well, yesterday I had a day full of excitement. And at the end of it – the 4.5 h at the emergency. I understand that nurses and doctors are overworked. That is not enough of them. But, instead of throwing once in an hour in … [Read more…]
The weather broke again and, instead of trips to the mountains, I am working at home. Still, I manage to “go out” more than 10 000 steps a day, so I’m not really complaining, but… I would like to go hiking or have picnic under the sky. The last trip to the market brought me … [Read more…]
It’s so green. Stalls at farmer market are full of new greens, bunches of buds and young leaves in parks and orchards. I have Wierzyński in my head and a smile on my lips. I’m sorry, but I will not butcher this beautiful poem with my attempts of translation. Zielono mam w głowie i fiołki … [Read more…]
