If you are Polish or just love the food, you will enjoy this blog! We will cover a little bit of everything from our travels to Poland to cooking some great cultural dishes. Feel free to contribute as well.
My wife, Donna and I are both of Polish heritage. Although, I must admit, I do have some German on my mother's side of the family.
It has only been in the last five to 10 years that I have come to appreciate what it means to be Polish. My father tried to instill that in me, but you know how that goes. When you are younger you don't always appreciate that sort of thing.
When my wife and I were married in 2000, I learned what it was like to be totally immersed in the traditions of a Polish family. Things like making pierogies at Christmas, making homemade kielbasa, and other holiday rituals.
Finally, I realized what my father was trying to tell me.
A few years earlier, I began researching my family history, but most of my research was focused on my mother's side of the family. When I finally made a few breakthroughs on my father's family, I changed my focus.
My research took me to Germany in 1997, and to Poland in 2007. This blog will offer me an opportunity to share those experiences with others, who, hopefully, have a similar interest.
It is my goal to make this blog, not only entertaining and informative, but an inspiration to those who appreciate their Polish heritage. It is also my hope that others discover an appreciation that, perhaps, they did not know they had.
This blog was not born out of ego. It was born out of the desire to share information and experiences to help others.
Please stop back regularly. You'll never know where this is going. I sure don't. Do widzenia!
