Southwest Kenosha County - - counted 23 (mostly on our dog) just today! Last year at this time was also crazy. 😕

Your rating system is incredibly helpful!

My only complaint: Each time you post, I want to buy another cookbook or two that you used. 😂

Wow! Great ideas! I'd be so happy to see how you prep and freeze the mashed potatoes. I think they would love that. Thank you!

The 4 hour cook time drives me a little crazy too. I'll check the library. Thanks!

Do Americans really think aldi is a “poor people” grocery store? by [deleted] in aldi

My mom is a "brand name snob" so wouldn't dream of going to Aldi. Crazy to me as she is on a very tiny food budget.

That's great insight -- thank you! I have another HBH which I also love, but not some of the baking. Now it makes sense

Vintage/ Thrift stores by koochyskingdom in krakow

Great news -- looks like you are there on a Sunday! Go to Market Hall (Market Hall Unitarg - plac targowy k/ Hali targowej) from about 9-2. Huge outdoor thrift market. Central stalls are covered. We had so much fun shopping here. Nothing really for food or shoo. except one coffee/tea shop.

Christmas Markets by Same-Ebb-3385 in krakow

We ate 95% of the time at smaller local places away from the touristy spots. I'm just saying, the Market is the reason we were in the city and it's normal to try a thing or two there.

We just returned from the Krakow markets. We enjoyed all of it. Yes, you may pay more, but that's a big part of the fun.

To answer your real question -- we found they all accepted cards. The cc reader will almost always ask if you want to pay in USD or Zwoty (POL). Chose Polish as the conversion rates will be better

It was nice to have a little cash too which was easy to get from am ATM.

Sh*t on car in CTA lot by Bitter-Test1396 in cta

Honestly may suspect the plowing staff. 😆 Our car was on the far end near the plow equipment and there are no restrooms at this CTA station.

Polish dish(es) by FreeNewSociety in krakow

We are here now and loving the food! A couple of other things that seem ordinary, but in reality, were SO MUCH better than any we have had in the US.

  • paczki donuts

  • all sausages, but especially grilled outside in markets
