Dinnertime Swap

This was my second swap with Marion in the US, and we did a dinnertime swap. I sent her a bunch of kits and spices for dinner, and she did the same. I found out I actually like the swedish meatball kit, and a lot of the marinades have already been put to good use. I keep the packets on my kitchen island and pick one randomly for dinner a couple of times a week. Thank you so much, Marion!

 

Restaurant Week Warsaw - Magari

Warsaw has a version of restaurant week and we participated. You prebook your table and meal for about $30-40 each at one of about 40 restaurants, and go and enjoy. Meals are three courses plus a drink and sometimes an amuse bouche.

We liked the menu at Magari, a hotel restaurant downtown with a terrace, so we went. Andreas had the pasta and I had the steak. Mine came with peach soup! It was interesting. I am also going to have to do my watermelon with a balsamic glaze, because it was delicious. Everything was wonderful, and we will go back soon.

 

Indonesia Yum Box

The foods in this box were mainly weird. But Andreas ate some and Leonora ate some and liked a bit of weird, evidently.

 

Luxi Beef Hot Pot

Turns out there is a Chinese restaurant close to our house that is part of a real Chinese chain. The food was good when we went for lunch, and we went back a couple months later for hot pot, too. 

 

Gift From Albert

I had given Albert some leftover enchiladas I had made because he wanted to try real Mexican food. He liked them and thanked me with these yummy cookies from Belarus, his home country. They're especially good with tea.

 

Bazyliszek Restaurant Again

We go to this restaurant regularly because the food is good, the prices reasonable, and the location in the middle of the Old Town Square. We took Granit after the Botanic Garden Lights, and he liked it too. It's always good.

 

Cherries!

Chad, Andreas, and I went cherry picking. Chad liked the new area, but was belligerent to the barn cat. This place had -so many cherries- on every tree. I will be going again next year after I run out of dried cherries, brandied, cherries, cherry pie filling, and frozen cherries.

 

Snacks from Britain

All kinds of things from Britain, including coronation cookies. Yay!

 

Last Pauna

Last time at Restaurant Pauna on the Kosovo restaurant tour. Pauna has some of the best atmosphere, but its food is only middling.
