I don’t like broth. I’ve never liked it and I don’t think I would ever like a broth in this life. A good broth is mainly fat. Fat is the best taste carrier (that’s why food on a non-fat diet tastes like a cardboard with shavings), and the idea of a broth is the … [Read more…]
Recently, I have had the unpleasure to participate in discussions about overweight. It was really uncomfortable, because the couch professionals throw themselves like hungry piranhas at anyone who does not meet their requirements. If you only mention that you are overweight, immediately every Uncle-Good-Advice and every Auntie-I-Know-Better in the area hurrying with advice and … [Read more…]
Easter is approaching, and I am a mile behind with these promised Easter recipes. No idea why, but whole March I spent more time in bed than in the kitchen. I hope that April will be more friendly to me and finally I stop being sick. As you know it, in Poland, traditional Easter … [Read more…]
I’m not a fan of soups. I prefer eating more meaningful, something crunchy, something to chew on, some fingerfood. A soup is a soup – an introduction to the meal, almost aperitif. But then comes the sadder phase of autumn, when it rains, and cold wind chills to the bone. And then I … [Read more…]
Autumn is getting colder, even today frozen rain was falling. There is nothing better on days like that than a blanket, a book, a cat and a cup… cup of tea, coffee or soup.

A few days ago FB I had the following conversation: “And today I’ll have tom yum with corn” “Sounds yum yum” “And it is hot hot.” Excellent summary, to be honest. If you do not know the tom yum soup, it is high time to try. In the stores tom yum paste … [Read more…]
We have a season of colds and flu. Cough, runny nose and general fatigue. I myself spent several days in bed complaining of aching joints and sore throat. Milk with honey supposedly cures any cold, but what if we can neither milk nor honey? What can save us when both folk and traditional medicine … [Read more…]
I have a cold. I’m sitting in my pajamas, under a blanket, next to me I have a book and a cup of tea. If I hadn’t horrible runny nose and headache, I could say that suffering from cold is not so bad. But, as we all know, there is no worse disease than catarrh. … [Read more…]
Autumn is coming, I think, looking at my favorite rusty-brown scarf, which still I wouldn’t wearing, because still it is too warm. Autumn is coming, I think, looking at the young clones that boast their lush greenery on the main avenue of the city. Autumn is coming and that is why I’m wearing a gray … [Read more…]
Welcome after Easter 🙂 Did you overeat? Did you take helpings? Have you reached for the fourth piece of cheesecake? Do you feel heavy? Because the weather was ugly and not good for walks. Although we managed to come out on Sunday for a long walk. This week we will take care of the stomachs … [Read more…]
