They were both just teenagers and never saw their families in Poland again. When I think of the immensity of that sacrifice, in order to have better lives for all of us, it's overwhelming.
Thanks to their sacrifices, my own family and I have good lives, too. Deep gratitude fills my heart.
All my life I have been proud of the Polish part of my heritage.
Sunday, I put together a Polish dinner and trust me, it was a yummy one.
Made "golumpki" or stuffed cabbage, potatoes with onions and salt pork seasoning, and kapusta, a mixture of chopped cabbage and sauerkraut with a little sugar added.
Also bought rye bread because who could have a Polish dinner without it?
Today, I plan to share this feast with several people so that's why I made so much.
The photos shown in this post were all part of the Polish cooking marathon.
Wish I could send out some bites of the final product!
DO YOU LIKE POLISH FOOD?

OMG I want stuffed cabbage now! I will need a recipe to make some.
Yes, I have and it is wonderful! Stuffed Cabbage is the best! Oh, rye bread, I haven't had that in years. Enjoy!! Kit
I love cabbage rolls! A comfort food in my book! Yours look delicious!!!
Yes I like Polish food, esp. kohlbasa and perogies.
That looks really tasty and healthy, reminds me of a similar Swedish dish.
Wish I could come to your dinner...it looks very good! I am a cabbage lover!
Hey Susan

I usually don't like cabbage but I worked in a place that had a Polish cook who ran the lunchroom we all ate in and the food was wonderful but sadly I haven't had any since, I haven't been able to cook any of the meals like him.

I am drooling .
I do enjoy Polish food, though I haven't had it often.
The immigrants to this country had - and still have - such a risky time. My ancestors came from Ireland to this country. I'm not sure they had much better times here, though. I will say that there were better times ahead for their descendants.

That was delicious looking. I did not know you were Polish. My husband is 100% Polish! So we love the same things.
Love, sandie
