I just love to discover dishes with names like toad in the hole or pigs in a blanket (to think that this one was at the beginning more less Polish gołąbki!).
I like food with funny names. It makes me want to make it immediately.

Not today, though. Today I'm ordering Ninja Pizza (pepperoni pizza + coca cola + TMNT demo game, yeah!)

Got here from Minnie's journal and was glad I dropped by. Europe + Poland and I'm fascinated :)

Hoping you wouldn't mind it if I added you to my friends list :)
Do drop by sometime!

I only hope that my poor English won't scare you off too soon:)

So, Joy, as a Rushdie fan, which book you'd recommend for the start? :)

[joylita]

Haroun and the Sea of stories- it's light, it's well crafted.
Midnight's Children- an epic of a story. 'Unputdownable'
Ground beneath her feet- and he will make sure he shakes that ground hard, alright. :)

Take your pick. Rushdie is a master craftsman of words. If abstract is a word you like, Rushdie is it. :)

PS. I can gush about Rushdie. I can.

okay then. I will try to find one of these after I finish Murakami. It's always good to have a guide when it comes to authors who wrote that many books.
On the other side - it's extremally hard to guide someone. I can't emagine recommending one book by Umberto Eco or William Gibson. It's hard to choose only one!

We bought a cook book not so long time ago. It's THE cook book actually. It's written by M. Musierowicz and it has all kinds of literary-related dishes in it (like 'Mrs. Darling's Kisses' or 'Snufkin's bread dinner' - yummy, that one). Did You know, that English name for Wloczykij is Snufkin? I just found out in Wikipedia. Shocking ;) I like Wloczykij better.
By the way, don't You think it's time some of the moomin characters to appear in 'Fables'? Little Mi perheaps ;)

Little My is probably already running the Mouse Police;) But I'm not sure if Moomins are popular enough in US. Personally, I'm rather expecting Harry Potter to show up :)

I like the name Snufkin (yes, I did know that's what THEY call Włóczykij), but I don't think it suits this character. Włóczykij is much better indeed. Snufkin sounds like someone very small and fragile, furry and maybe a little scared or wary of something.

I didn't know that Musierowicz wrote such book! As a literature and food obsessed person I must get it sometime soon. As I think I told you some time ago, I love to figure out recipies for dishes I read about myself, so I guess it's a real 'must have':)

once i went in Budapest to an expensive restaurant in Jewish quarter and i had ordered a dish which name i did not remember, i was hoping for something special, but what i had got was gołąbki covered with bigos.
was the pizza good?

[mouzie]

gołąbki with bigos? That's funny, but I guess it could work...

pizza was pretty good, unfortunately my computer isn't good enough to play the game:/
