So if you have been reading my blog even a little bit you have noticed a few patterns of what goes on in my little world which largely revolves around my girls. I get to indulge in American Football, the gym, and mushroom hunting among other treats. I have talked about how difficult it can be to feed Mila the Destroyer and that holds true for everybody who has tried except for one person. Mila will pretty much eat anything that my father in law is eating and if she notices him at the table she promptly insists to sit on his lap and is ready to be fed. Here is a picture of them from yesterday :)
She looks very sweet and innocent from pictures because she really likes to have her picture taken but I should probably film some video so you can see some of the household destruction in real time :) She is pretty good company though when we go out for stroller walks and look for mushrooms.
Happy Mila
Mila and the first two Birch Boletes of the day :)

A family of Birch Boletes
I must admit that it was pretty strange for me to find so many Birch Boletes all in one place. Usually when I am finding Birch Boletes they are spread out a little bit that is if I am even finding them at all. Like I said I am in a country of experts in hunting mushrooms so I really have to be lucky to stumble upon some good mushrooms. My only clear benefit is the size of the forests in Poland and that it takes many people a long time to look through them :)
Slippery Jack
This was a big Slippery Jack that I found and put my hand next to it to show scale. It was in really good shape considering that these tend to fall apart pretty quickly.
Amanita
So this is a poisonous mushroom and very non-edible but they are very pretty to look at and I can't resist taking the occasional picture of them :)
And now a sequence of making Kaszanka :)
Melting butter, onions, garlic and salt
Added Kaszanka
Making a smiling face as I will be happy later :)
The Kaszanka will fall apart and mix with the other ingredients
Smiley face on my plate :)
Kaszanka is like flavor country when you eat it and some people I know here refer to it as "Polish Caviar" myself included :) Kaszanka is a blood sausage and typically consists of pigs blood, pig offal, and buckwheat stuffed in a pig intestine. Well I am going to try to get to bed now as who knows how badly my girls are going to sleep again. I think that it is probably a little bit of Murphy's Law that they are sleeping funny when mommy is out of town. I hope you liked the pictures from today hopefully more to come soon.
