Happy Name Day, Borek!111

Happy Name Day, Borek :smile:! OK I'm a few days late, sorry :redface:, but I hope you had a great day!

(Cultural edification: name days in Poland are sort of like birthdays!)

Sto lat, sto lat,
Niech żyje, żyje nam.
Sto lat, sto lat,

Happy Name er a... Birthday Borek.

I never would have known what a "Name Day" was if it were not for you and Lisab's cultural knowledge. I hope you got a nice present, like some cool photography gear.

Rhody... :smile:

Happy name day!

Is there any way I can get recipes for all of the great foods you keep showing me in chat? Who cooks this food? And when can I move in?

I will do my best to share them. Translating recipes from Polish to English is quite a challenge, as I have to check every second word. Some you most likely know. One of the salads is called an American salad, which probably means you have never heard about it. Unfortunately, it is the one with raisins.

Who cooks this food?

We do. Kitchen four hands. TBH Marzena did more.

And when can I move in?

I have to think about it. I am not sure I would survive with both of you. Overwhelming overcuteness overload :-p
