Just wanted to say thanks to the gods and goddesses responsible for parking a polish concession down the block from our office during the Oktoberfest celebration. The homemade food is like eating Regina Zimmerman's (first college roommate) mother's food. Whether fresh cut fries, mini doughnuts, Moe’s Gyros or HomeCare Matter’s funnel cakes, festival goers have had choice upon choice to choose from for dinner, snack or special treat. Kent Gimbel, director of the street festival, was proud to offer authentic German and Polish options this year. Grandma Ski’s owned and operated by Jay Burgess and Kathleen Kobielski; they bring to the festival authentic, homemade Polish fare that Grandma does make, ham, kraut, mashed potatoes, keilbasa, pierogi and more. Owners hail from Imlay City, Michigan near Hamtramck, an area known for its largely Polish immigrant community. Grandma’s will be at the Millersburg, Ohio antique festival next weekend. For more information, contact them directly grandma-ski@earthlink.net Don’t miss their menu.
As for this blog, obviously still a foodie, but I am no longer based in Toledo. I am going to most likely chronicle my life over the next few weeks as a means of discovering what it means to start taking care of myself and eating more regularly things that I cook. My hope is to try to cook and experiment with some new techniques and recipes. So, keep tuned.
