fun in fours

Polish Visitor

Saturday 03 February 2007

K’s mother flew in from Poland, arriving Thursday evening. US Air lost her luggage in the flight from the Windy City to Charlotte, but otherwise, it was a relatively survivable experience for Mamus.

When someone’s coming from rural Poland, there’s a certain amount of joy in thinking about all the things you can introduce — namely, food. My mother-in-law has never had fresh pineapple or cantaloupe, so we bought one of each before her arrival. She’s yet to try them, but biscuits — big, fluffy Southern-style biscuits — were a big hit, as was Ben and Jerry’s pistachio ice cream.

We have our own list, but perhaps there are other things she should try while here?
