There are a lot of amazing places in Warsaw. Some of them are beautiful or historical and others are important because they belong to us and make us feel sentimental. Maybe something important to us happened in the neighbourhood. Yet other places are fascinating for a different reason. For me, one of the places which is interesting because of the past is the Swiss Valley in Warsaw.

Lentils are a fine, but undervalued ingredient of thick soup. If we add vegetables, herbs and slices of sausages we get a traditional German dish. Thick lentil soup is great for winter dinners. If we would like to prepare the soup according to the German recipe, we should add vinegar. I prefer it without vinegar.

Sometimes I’m afraid to read especially elaborate detective stories. I don’t fear that something will jump out of the book. That was only possible in “Bolek and Lolek” cartoons. There a pirate jumps out from the story book and waves a cutlass. Firstly, I’m afraid of the writer of the crime story. I wonder what kind of imagination he must have to create something awful like this. The second thing I’m afraid of is that the unbalanced person might want to realize the ideas from the book.
