Today I offer you something extremely simple and extremely dainty. I like recipes like this. A little shopping, nothing much to do, a short wait and then only pleasure. Because of the added plum stew, these wafers aren’t very sweet. They taste fantastic with a cup of tea or flavoured coffee. My family loves them. No matter how many I prepare, they disappear very fast. It is interesting that the person in our family who can’t refrain from eating them most is my husband, who watches his waistline all the time.

In Poland we used to say that of all sweets we like herrings the most. This means that we don't like sweets at all, so we choose herrings when people ask us if we want dessert. In my family we can't say this, because we like them both.

Today I feel like effing and blinding. Only the presence of my son, who is looking suspiciously at mummy, stops me from cursing. I feel that a lot of people in which we place our trust try to pull a fast one.

Last weekend I saw another movie in which the story is based on music. “The song” (2014) by Richard Ramsey is a story about a novice musician: a talented singer and guitarist who fights to disengage himself from the legend of his father.

In the bad old days when we couldn’t buy anything in Poland, giblets were often the ingredients of dishes. In my family we ate stew from chicken stomachs or chicken hearts. Then we lost our taste for this kind of dish, only for it to reappear thanks to some recipes from my mother-in-law. I would like to share one of them with you.
