New Flavored Soplica

 Yesterday we were chilling through all morning. Shit we hiked and city-toured almost 20 km! That’s not the longest walk ever taken, but it is still something.

We also did our little ‘stupid daily walk for for our stupid mental and physical health.’ We walked East to a part of the city we haven’t really been to before. I’m not saying we got to the most beautiful place on Earth because we hadn’t, but it was new experience, and that’s good.

It’s really interesting how this city was built and is currently building. Huge fancy glass towers, skyscrapers and between them there are either old apartment blocks from the 50’s and 60’s usually with plywood all over their windows and doors — I guess if we stayed we would see new skyscrapers replacing them in the near future. And the other type of buildings are the typicalcommunist built panel apartment complexes(?) or just simply blocks that were built in the 70’s and 80’s in every country where the commies ruled.

After our shortish walk we got home and started working on improving the well-known Polish vodka brand Soplica. They have many sort(?) and many flavored vodkas like cherry, hazelnut, or coffee — the coffee flavored is my favorite so far. Although they produce their products in many flavors we felt like something was missing. The flavor of Christmas was missing! The liquor kind was missing. (Maybe liquor is not technically vodka, but does it really matter?) We were thinking about doing some eggnog, but that didn’t sound special enough for our first Christmas in our own little ness — sometimes mess haha. We’ve chosen Nutella to be flavor of our liquor, and it was a great idea!

We’ve boiled up some Nutella, added some sort of white cream — ladies I believe you know what I’m talking about — boiled them together a bit until their mixture’s liquidity became similar to water I guess. Then we waited a bit till it got cooled off and added some vodka. And wuala we’ve improved the brand massively! 


We tried our creation and it was good, however it still needs some time for the favors to reach their potential, we will try it again in a few days!

Till then take care,

Last Day in Warsaw

Image
  Our last day in Warsaw… When we got up the whole apartment was basically completely empty. Nothing was left, but a few backpacks, the food in the fridge, and the clothes we were about to put on. It was really sad. To start the morning exciting, and cheer ourselves up a bit we started our day in Costa Café or the Nero café — I honestly have no idea — where instead of coffee we drank chai latte. Sari did made me chai latte before, but since we don’t have either a printer nor the balls to print money we used cheep coffee and cheep chai thingy, which meant I was almost drinking something completely different. I absolutely loved the chai latte they gave me, so did Sari. Bummer, I wish I knew about this earlier. After our coffee break we packed everything and headed for the last shopping, we bought the little things that were absolutely needed for our successful trip home: bread, doughnuts, and the missing kinda beers. It was a successful trip. Then we drove home, prepared our meals fo...

Eastern Poland

  Yesterday we broke the record of the number policeman we have met ever in a day. They were everywhere. However before getting in to that we started our day in Bialystok. Where it was -10°C in the morning! I got us some breakfast then till Sari packed our staff I went to get our car. While I was walking to it I checked all the cars on the street how icy were they trying to assume how thick ice cover did my car grow overnight. Luckily the car was only covered with some snowish loose staff that was easy to get rid off with a broom. However in the inside everything was frozen. The motor didn’t even start for the first time, then when it finally started it sounded like when you didn’t put the dishes properly in the washing machine and everything falls out, that was the exact same noise my motor was sounding. It was definitely not pleasant.  The temperature had risen to -8°C by the time we got to our first stop. It was the Church of Trezescinka: a beautiful huge wooden church with...

Sunday Market

  Yesterday we went to the Sunday Market. Or actually we went to a Sunday market – I suppose there are several Sunday markets all over Warsaw. The one we went to is called Gielda Staroci na Kole. Although it wasn’t as big as the Sunday market in Pécs, I still wouldn’t call it small. As we saw they mostly sell porcelains, old coins, tools, and similar useful goods. Visiting this market was quite an experience! The market itself takes place at a closed garden, but the garden seems to be not big enough for all the sellers, some of them sell their staff on the street right next to the market! First, we didn’t even know what’s up with that place. We didn’t see the conception. It took some time and some walking for us to comprehend what’s going on. I might’ve told you earlier, my plan was to buy a bike, so I could ride it to the uni, so one of the reasons we went to the market to see if they have bikes, if they have how much they cost, and what they look like. Well unfortunately they ...
