The other night we went over to the house of one of our youth's parents. Gosia & Artur. Michał is their son. :) We LOVE this family. We loved getting to know them last year, and this year...they have officially become family to us. "Rodzinki" is the word. Actually, while we were there Gosia made a traditional Polish Christmas dessert for us and she was having us guess the ingredients. I was trying to say them in Polish and one of the ingredients were raisins. The word for raisin is "rodzynki"...one letter difference. So, I said the word for family instead of raisin. They got a kick out of it and asked me to repeat it over and over before they told me what I was really saying, but they liked hearing it. :) And they are...they are definitely family.
Anyway, we always LOVE when Gosia & Artur invite us over...Gosia makes some GOOOOD pierogi! That night she made traditional Christmas pierogi for us. Dumplings filled with sour cabbage & mushrooms. Very Polish. We also had hot barszcz (beet root soup) to drink and a nice salad to go along with it. :) Plus, poppy seed & raisin dessert. :) We stayed there for about 4 hours...they practiced their English, we practiced our Polish. :) It was a pretty great evening. :)
