This all sounds so much like my husband's half-Italian/half-Croatian and Native American family in Chicago. They lived in a German neighborhood. My mother-in-law (when she was younger) cooked the weirdest conglomeration of international foods. Italians are big on spinach in stuff. She used to make pirogi, too, which is what I think you're talking about with the Polish food.
I loved this post. I love your darker ones, too, but this one gave me chuckles of recognition.
Of course! I earned the title back in an apartment that was so infested with roaches, and I was so crazed, I eventually started killing them with my bare hands.
Man, am I glad I'm only dealing with fleas now. I'm too old for that shit.

These are the posts I'm going to be glad later that I wrote.
