Happy Halloween!
Kielbasa bucket, too? George Three texted this photo over to me with the message that Elisabeth thought I might get a kick out of it. Now that’s a Polish Halloween greeting if I’ve ever seen one. Yikes is my other reaction.
Polish meals were enjoyed
Feast at the fest. Before I forget, we four happy wanderers indeed drove the short distance to downtown Syracuse’s Clinton Square to indulge in our coveted annual Polish Fest meal indulging. Worth the wait. The Utica Polish Community Home again served up our order of Polish platters, golumpki, pierogi and kielbasa sandwich after my dear…
So much tasty Polish food

A special meal coming for a Happy Easter
My dear wife Karen asked a couple of days ago what I’d like to have for dinner on Easter. A ham steak? My answer had that question mark on the end of it, but that’s the way we left it. Then in those nether moments before I drifted off to sleep that night, a better…
