wow...that's eerie!!! I go to Erie once in a while since GE manufactures locomotives there and they're one of our best customers, using a gadget we make on each one of those iron horses. Any good Polish food restaurants you can recommend for next time I go? I grew up in the Port Richmond neighborhood of Philly...which is sort of like Little Warsaw.

rice...but I've also had it with barley.
The kishka I like is that black blood sausage. But I've seen other sausage type things called kishka that are yellowish, like in our local Jewish deli they sell a "kishka" that looks like this and is not nearly as tasty...to my taste I'm sure broiling would also work well, though I like to fry it until it starts to pop open and the skin is mostly crispy, like this: Starts like this |

I've shipped cheesesteaks to Nashville...not to Elvis, btw. I pack 'em with a slab of "dry ice" and bubblewrap. As long as the 'wiches are on the dry side they won't get soggy during transit.
OTOH, if I were to leave a hoagie laying on my kitchen counter overnight and well into the next day, I would have absolutely no reluctance eating it. I rest my case. |

after watching and searching for film clips all day that turned to not even matter, I'll diverge and go back to yesterday's comment about "rat race" and that not-really related doctrination of Hitler, and well...I'm rambling.
