Polish Yum Yums

My friend Ania is the first name in my phone, so when I forget to unlock it and just threw it into my handbag, it is amazing the random stuff I can send her. With her daughter in Poland for the summer, I have been helping to keep her busy, so she invited me over to dinner to teach me about Polish food. She made us some handmade pierogi and żurek. It was a great night to explore different foods and just catching up over wine.

When my other Polish friend Daria came back from Egypt after working on the National Polish Archeological dig, we had another little lunch where Daria made some pureed beet sauce poured over some dumplings and roasted duck with apples called kaczka z jabłkami accompanied with some gravy over pyzy (a potato dumpling). The names totally escape me on some of the other things that she made but it was delicious none the less.

Next time I just need Ania or Daria to take me to the market and translate all the food names that look so interesting!
