Happy Thursday Day Guys and Dolls:
Told you I would post if I had a chance and here I am. The weather here has been brutal hot and humid and the air so thick you could cut it with a knife, so if you are planning a trip down be warned.
Lets check our holidays we can raise our glasses to today:
DANCE A POLKA DAY - As you can hear we do have a little Polka music playing on MixPod today. Growing up I believe every Polish household had Bernie Kosnoski or Leon Fornal on Sunday while Mom was preparing Sunday dinner. I know my Mom and Grandmother had that local station on every Sunday when I was growing up. I bet my cousin Tom who is a daily reader of my blog can verify that as well. I enjoyed Polka's when we went to weddings as a kid, I think it was the only music they played. Weddings were something different in those days, a church hall, Polkas, open bar and family cooked meals topped the festivities. When Roe and I were dating back in the 70's we went once a month with my good friend and his girlfriend and his mother to the Arbeiter's Club in Trenton. They had an open bar, family style dinner, beer on the table and good old Polish and German music and get this all for the price of $10 per person. Good memories returning again.
NATIONAL UNDERWEAR DAY - What can one say about undies so many to choose from and the colors are on the rise every day. Boxers when you were little, than you moved to briefs at times there was bikini briefs on those nights out in search of women. Joined the service and again it was white boxer shorts. Now I feel comfortable in boxer briefs. So now you know the story of Joey Z's underwear travels.
NATIONAL HAND HOLDING DAY - This should be an every day thing with the ones you love. Walk hand in hand like you did when you met and get that feeling back. For your little ones hold their hands every day for soon their hands will be held by others who love them.
RICE PUDDING DAY - I like rice pudding but now have to eat no sugar puddings and the rice ones in our local stores aren't bad. I have some in the frig so I may have some later. Have a great evening and be careful out there.

Luee
We adopted Luee from the Humane Society in 1996. He was 2 years old, but still a pup. He has slowed down a bit; his age is catching up to him. He is the best dog anyone could ever have. Luee had to be put to sleep on April 15, 2009. Rest in Peace Pup.

For gatherings like weddings or after a funeral there were several places like the Polish American Club across from the Eagle, TPAD's across from Saint Hedwig's and Kalina, or Post 458. I remember a huge Polish hall on Route 130 in Yardville. When two of my older cousins married "across cultural lines", the reception was at Italian American Sportsmen and it was there that I discovered that there were other Italian foods aside from Pie, Spaghetti and Cheese Steaks. Veal Parm or Chicken Catchitorie was pure magic to my 10 year old taste buds.

Skip: A good Veal Parm is still my favorite Italian dish today, pounded real thin and nice baked with good gravy and cheese.
