Desperate for a Polish Cook!

[mswizard]

Hi everyone! (No, No baby yet :()

With all the lovely peeps on here I was Hoping to find someone who is Polish or can cook Polish food. I have had the WORST craving for kapusta (sorry if I spelled this wrong) I wake up durring the night dreaming about it! My gramma made it alot when I was a little kid and for some reason lately it's all i want to eat! Does ANYONE have a recipe for it or know where I can find one that was written by a REAL Polish woman/man??? Thanks!
My mom tried to make it but it was no where close to gramma's :rolleyes:.

You liked this as a kid wizzo! You must have been a really good kid to at cabbage. I had to be force fed that stuff ( actually , I still loathe it lol:D)!

Okay Wizard, I do believe it's time to do the Wizard Walk and get those contractions going!!!! We want news of a baby being born! I bet you need to walk to a restaurant thatt specializes in Polish food and get your cravings taken care of, then BABY WIZARD will POP into the world!

WALK YOUR WAY INTO LABOR DARLING!!!!! :eek:

My daughter's first husband made Halushki Kapusto (spelling?) for us. I loved it and it was so simple to make. Hope maybe this what you're looking for (he said if extra company came, his grandmother simply added more cabbage!).

Cut up a large head of cabbage.
Cook in oil in a large pot.

Meanwhile cook Kluski noodles as directed on package.
When cooked, drain and add to cooked cabbage. He also added sausage or ham to the mixture! Yum!! It isn't always easy to find Kluski noodles - but they're yummy! If you can't get an authentic recipe, you might try this!

Marion: Thanks a BUNCH for finding the recipe for me....it's real close to Grams. (cept instead of rice, she used Barley..and Keilbasa and pork nibblets)

I sent Mark to the store and guess what's Cookin'???? hehehe...ahhhh the smell...mmmmmm mmmmmmmm

As for walking....I have tried everything under the sun to get this child to turn her butt around..from being on all fours to trying to turn her with external massage...she is being STUBORN!!!! She wants to be born butt first! My pelvic bones can't stretch anymore than they have....ouch the burn! I'm still only an "ALMOST 3" as Dr Josey puts it. She say's we may have to schedule a section..I go back Friday..I just want it OVER!!!! :(

[*eng*]

OOOH.....poor you wizzo. I am praying that that baby does a back flip and lands where she should and then makes a quick pain free appearance.

I love that but I always call them stuffed cabbage...LOL one of Andrews nurses makes them on special occassions and she always brings me some..never tried making them myself..this receipe sounds good...Ive got it bookmarked..think Im going to try my hand at it soon.
Well Wiz...you could always try my grandmothers old timey remedy...take some Castor Oil...but I dont think I would advise it...you might still be sick on Friday...:eek: .

Babies have a mind of their own and I bet this one comes into this world being stubborn and independent..LOL

Maybe Friday the Dr. will schedule you a time to go to the hospital and do a C section..just put you to sleep and get that girl outta there...Im thinking bout you girl...good luck..and enjoy your whatchmacallits..:D

Sometimes when I am hungry for the halupkis, and dont feel like making them, I make the porcipine meatballs( thats what we call them) and shred up a head of cabbage, put it all in a crock pot of tomato sauce and homemade tom. juice. garlic of course, other seasonings and simmer all day and WALA, yummyyyyyyyyyyyyyy:)

The Kapusta was OUTTA THIS WORLD! Well worth the 30 some odd rolaids I've had to chew today hehehehe.

JAZZ....I talked to my Home Health Nurse today..SHE even told me If my doc keeps holding out on me to do the Castor Oil Recipe! TBH I already bought a bottle last week...If Dr Josey won't schedule tomorrow, I'm comin home and drinkin the nasty stuff..HEY! It worked for 4 of us 6 kids...It's worth a shot right? LOL

Well Wiz todays the big day...sure hope you get some good news from the Dr today..will be waiting with anticipation to find out...Good Luck...Huggs Linda

Goodluck my friend.I hope you show your husband how to post a note to tell us what is going on.:) We are excited.

[mswizard]

Ok, so I go to the doc's today, I get there early, I wait. And wait and wait. Hour and 40 mins go by and the receptionist keeps telling me that Josey had to do an emergency section...ok no biggie, how long can they last right? At 4:50 her nurse comes out to ask me if I would like to reschedule cuz they have NO IDEA how long she is going to be!!! By now I'm more than a little upset but what can I do? OK reschedule me. Dr won't be in Monday or Tuesday and Wednesday is bad..over booked, Can I come THURSDAY?!?!? I asked to see the other doc in her office...like I thought I was going to see today but he got called to Carthage Hospital, won't be back in for a week! I decided to take the castor Oil before I go to bed tonight! I'm sick of this crap! If I have to see her in L&D then so be it! Do I sound upset? knowing my luck, I'll end up being sick with nothing to show for it but hips that refuse to work and a bellybutton that hurts so much it's hard to breath! AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!:(

[mswizard]

Goodluck my friend.I hope you show your husband how to post a note to tell us what is going on.:) We are excited.

Do you realize it took me over a year to teach Mark how to turn this thing on? and another 8 months to get on ebay to shop and search for things! :DLOL

I will however write him a tut on how to get on the board and leave a message...probably won't work but I DO have a back up plan. My babysitter is good with computers..Im gonna show her how and she can do it for me lol

Which brings me to a Question...I haven't yet figured out how to post my layouts and things yet so if someone can give me the idiots quickie version, I would like Mindy to post Emily's picture (yep I'm bringing 4 cameras in with me, my digital, poloroid, advantix and my new SLR) just to be on the safe side hehehe.

rasberryleaf tea was great...i didnt even realise i was in labour with jenny...i thought id had some braxton hicks :rolleyes: .....the doc sent me to hosp cos they were 3mins apart lol and after my waters were broken (both bags...she had to have two sacs round her to be akward!!) 25 mins after arriving at the hosp there was jenny...i hold the fastest deliver record at hannover hospital to this day :D
