meditate in my direction

the invitation:
hi guys i want to invite u all for a polish small dinner.we starts at 20.00 and finish till last guest.because we invited a lot of people u can expected a really good traditional polish dishes and some polish wedding music(disco)!but as i said it will be a small dinner with some vodka too ;) so we can also call it polish vodka party;)hope u all come and please rsvp! hangover is back!
p.s.if any one of u have an iron plese bring it with u!my shirts are creased!thanks

ok, so that's not very polish but they were playing the grease soundtrack at one point, in addition to the polish wedding music (as promised). as you might imagine, there was plenty of arm linking and stomping, too. but it was all good fun and it's exceedingly kind of R's brother and friends to come to stocks laden with polish goodies for his hungry friends.

props to J, the chef, whose grandmother lives in a village where 30 people live together in one hut (!!!) and taught him how to cook.


the dish of the night - hangover soup. i kid you not. the polish peeps all swear by this as the best cure for a hangover, which i presume happens a lot when there's a free flow of polish vodka.

egg and white sausage for aforementioned hangover soup


hangover soup as it's meant to be savoured, albeit pre-hangover

mixed minced meat with mushy vegetables

swiss pasta dish, contributed by R's indian corridor mate who used to live in switzerland. gotta love our shrinking world.

really oily pork

goat cheese and cranberry sauce for dessert - the poles have the patent (?) for this particular cheese so only they can produce and sell it.

love the chef but not the shirt

polish dessert - check out the yummy layer of grape jelly :)

and not-so-polish dessert of crepes


crepe.
had a great night at R's. his kitchen felt surprisingly roomier than mine, then again they probably utilise the space better. my first, and hopefully not last, taste of polish food.
