Smoke House Sausage and Sauerkraut

I was fond of Smokies sausages when I was a child. It was the lunch treat my Polish Mother, the Polka Queen, brought home every Saturday from the supermarket. They disappeared for a bit but Oscar Mayer recently started making them again.

If you are fond of traditional smokehouse flavor and are food additive conscious, I recommend Czerw's Kielbasy and Polish Provisions. Their home made products contain no by-products, artificial color, fillers, or added water.

Shop early in the week, especially on Easter. You will find that lines of people go around the block on Easter. Poles take Easter seriously. 

I buy barrel Sauerkraut, smoked Cajun Kielbasa which my children love, and Kabanosy, a sort of hot Polish Slim Jim. We have lots of assimilation in Foody Nation Philadelphia. You can get directions, history of the shop, and a list of their products at their website.

 Jan Czerw, Grandfather of the current owners, immigrated from Mislsi, Poland. In 1938, Jan Czerw converted a horse stable into a shop. He built the brick ovens meat is smoked in himself. Czerw's Kielbasa still stands in that original spot, using the same brick ovens built almost 70 years ago. For the Czerws, traditon and quality are standard.

Wesolych Swiat i dobre jedzenie!

Note: There are about 600,000 Folks in Philadelphia who think of themselves as Polish. All those good Folks like to eat good Polish Food. I am going to tell you where I find it. There many excellent Polish shops and food purveyors in Philadelphia. I do not pretend this is a thorough list of every single Polish shop in Philadelphia or nearby. It is where I shop. Maybe you know a good place? Leave a comment and I will go there and give it a try. And write about it. - Plum

The Two Million Dollar Finger Rape - UPDATE

UPDATE: There has been another Traffic Stop Rape in New Mexico. Same noncertified drug dog and same medical center.




A routine traffic stop in New Mexico turned into a cavity search, three enemas and a colonoscopy for David Eckert. He sued and won 1.8 milliion and that is only one lawsuit. More to come.

Never talk to Cops. Never help them. Do whatever you can within the law to make their lives a living Hell before they get a chance to stick their fingers up your rectum.

Cops are the brownshirts of the 1%. How do I know? The SCOTUS says they have "no duty to protect" citizens. Protect me? I will be thrilled if they do not finger rape me for God, Country and the American way.

The War on Drugs is a War on Poor People. You think my response is over the top? Spend some time reading HERE and HERE and get back to me.

Pipe Dreams

"I am a resident of Bangalore. I graduated from Christ College, Bangalore (now Christ University) in 1989 with botany and zoology as my subjects.

In my childhood, we had a huge garden and all that we wanted, we grew in the garden. I had to shift to terrace gardening due to lack of space in our current residence.

I have grown a wide variety of vegetables like Maize, Kidney beans, ChowChow, Bush beans, Purple beans, Tomatoes, Cherry tomatoes, brinjals of different varieties, various greens, amorphophallus, Okra etc. in the terrace successfully."

Today I can say that with my pipe garden I can grow 14-22 vegetable plants in a footprint of 1 square foot.

You can read more and see more photographs at the link. I am going to try this for Strawberries.

Penis Pumps? Say what?

Pantalone

I am shocked, I tell you. Shocked. Why aren't the Roman Catholic Bishops foaming over penis pumps like they are foaming over birth control?

98% of Catholic women use contraception. Now we get an inkling of the reason they must use it. Self defense.

Women should not want contraception with no copay sayeth the Bishops. This is said in a world of government penis pumps and no copay viagra for Senior Men. Because chastity. Say what?

I wonder: Did the Bishops fight the ACA so hard because they are PRO or ANTI government funded penis pumps? Did penis pumps even cross their mind? No matter. You go, GrandPa. Gummint has your back. Shaking my head. So it goes.

Penis pumps cost U.S. government millions, watchdog cries waste

WASHINGTON, Jan 13 (Reuters) - Penis pumps cost the U.S. government’s Medicare program $172 million between 2006 and 2011, about twice as much as the consumer would have paid at the retail level, according to a government watchdog’s report released on Monday.

The report by the inspector general for the Department of Health and Human Services said Medicare, the government health insurance system for seniors, paid nearly 474,000 claims for vacuum erection systems, or VES, totaling about $172.4 million from 2006 to 2011. Yearly claims for the devices nearly doubled from $20.6 million in 2006 to $38.6 million in 2011.
