Kapusta!

Spending several years in an orphange run by Polish Catholic Nuns, you can imagine some of the ethnic foods we were served. Kielbasa, pierogi, Polichinkins, Golomki just to name a few.

We also had to attend a Polish Catholic school and did indeed learn and speak the Polish language fluently. That however was a long time ago and I can only say a few phrases today. I can say thank you, how are you, I'm fine and milk in Polish to this day. Not sure that would get me very far on a visit to Poland.

I do miss the fresh Kielbasa that we use to get from Joe's Deli in Lyndhurst NJ. It was the best. I will have to try and find a place to purchase this in the Houston area and see how they compare.

Another favorite was potato pancakes. I have been told that I make them the best!
I really don't have a specified recipe for these but I will make them and mark down the ingredient and amounts and post them for anyone to try if they wish to. You should try them with a side of applesauce, sour cream or both.
