Don' think I'm not going to try it, because I am! <br /><br />And to "Anonymous"...Boy, would I LOVE to get shipments of cheeses, chocolates and vodka! Holy cow, to be Polish... Bryan and I eat pretty healthily (if that's a word) every week, so we are able to indudge occasionally. But I go exercise several times a week, too, so that helps me a ton! It's all about balancing the good with the bad! :)Christie Bishophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11231411663217241269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6602053617939392843.post-83232237708529138642009-12-27T10:12:20.980-08:002009-12-27T10:12:20.980-08:00I find this interesting because I have been eating...I find this interesting because I have been eating the white trash version of this for many years. When I was a teenager a Polish (not sure if this fact is relevant or not) friend of mine and her family would toast some thick crusty bread, shmear on some cream cheese and top that with preserves - usually apricot or raspberry. We usually had this for breakfast with some strong coffee. <br />Her family introduced my typical southern palate to some interesting things, as their remaining family in Poland sent many care packages full of great cheeses, chocolates, and of course vodka.<br />Love the blog and have a great rest of the holiday.<br />Oh yeah, it it just good genes or do you 2 have a secret for not getting fat around all that amazing food?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6602053617939392843.post-18779520072380787022009-12-07T23:20:17.776-08:002009-12-07T23:20:17.776-08:00Hey Christie,
