Isn't cabbage "kapusta"?
Funny, I don't speak Polish, but 2 summers ago, I tutored an 11 year old boy from Krakow in learning English. I just about wore out the Polish-English dictionary. It must have worked, because he is doing very well in an American School.

I misspoke... what I meant was that one of the few words I knew in Polish was the word for cabbage... which is, as you say, kapusta. When I was a little girl, my mom and dad would work together to make kapusta and put it up in jars. How admirable that as your board name suggests, you are truly a teaher. Neyum Choi.

Kapusta, got it! Thanks teacher and kathleen (the first person to welcome me to the board!)
I often try to guess something about us by our board names. Teacher, you clearly are one but is soapygrams a grandmother who watches soaps? I see Tinkerbell as small and cute, Ginnycat loves her pet and brooklyn loves her home. But wherefore deathsythe? Luvarchfeind? (I think that was in a book.) and some of the others.
I don't expect answers as we are entitled to our privacy but it's fun to wonder.

Guilty!!!! I began my teaching career in Sept of 1956 and was kind of pushed into retirement in June of 2006. But I still tutor 3 mornings a week. In the meantime, I raised 5 children, all of whom left the nest and have moved to the far reaches of the USA.

Luvarchfiend was a big fan of Lee Duk-hwa's character in 'Age of Warriors', I think it was. I forget the actual name of the character, but his nickname was 'The Archfiend', which is a character from Korean mythology. I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be confused with the Western nickname for the Devil.

Kapusta, got it! Thanks teacher and kathleen (the first person to welcome me to the board!) . . . I often try to guess something about us by our board names. Teacher, you clearly are one but is soapygrams a grandmother who watches soaps?I don't expect answers as we are entitled to our privacy but it's fun to wonder. Puppy, you nailed it! I am indeed a grandmother of 11 grandchildren. The only "soaps" that I watch however, are the Korean dramas; the American soaps play way too much bedroom bingo for my tastes. Since you are a young person in your 20s, I can understand the name "puppy: in the context of: being a youngster among a more advanced age groups LOL- But I don't know if that is why you picked that name. You might just LIKE puppies - like GinnyCat loves her kitties LOL And if I neglected to say welcome before, I will say it now! Welcome, Caed mile Failte [in Irish], Welkommen in German and ?? uh?? -- beats me how to say it in Korean??? Anyone else know?? LUCY??

Kapusta with some pierogies and kielbasi, sounds good. Mmm
It has to be homemade pierogies though, they just melt in your mouth.

Gworks, now I live in NJ, and it's not that bad. Just to let you know, you can probably get all your Polish delicacies in Brooklyn. Although, I am sure Garfield will miss you!!!

I am from New Jersey, and I like it there. New Jersey gets a bad rap. There are many beautiful parts that most people don't get to because they're passing through on the highways and in the cities. There's a lot more to NJ than that.
