When I grew up in the Detroit area, there were many, many hard working and friendly polish people. My "people" were Slav's from Yugoslavia and my grandparents immigrated from there. First came my Grandfather who got a job and built a home. Then came my Grandmother in an arranged marriage. They were wed in Cleveland and migrated to Michigan. I still make some of my Grandmothers recipies as well as some from our polish neighbors.
About 5 years ago I was able to travel to Krakow Poland and spent 10 days with absolutely wonderful people and eat great food. The history and the people made me feel warm and fuzzy inside as the memories of childhood flooded back.
