Journal Entry #1:
My babcia tells me I should start doing these little entries of my everyday life. After all she did buy me this notebook . Might as well put it to some use, she says that everything in history should be documented. I honestly don't know why I'm important in history , or what purpose this will serve.

After all I'm just a kid from Poland, not only do I not care for school, and I spend most of my time listening to music! I love classical German music . Everything I just described sounds pretty normal to me, nothing worth writing about !

I guess history could write a book about my best friend Peter Zuckelman . He always smells like cow manure ! He's such a dirty kid , his parents are farmers and he is always out there helping them tend the field for their livestock, day in and day out .
I will say however I never see the kid at school, wish I could be like that .

The Zuckelmans moved here from Germany two years ago . They like to keep to themselves other than when Peter and I play outside in the fields during the summer all day, his parents always invite us over for dinner every Sunday . My favorite dish they make is Holishkes.

It's a very good baked cabbage role, when I ask Mamo why we don't make anything like that, she tells me it's because it's a sacred dish . I never thought Germans made that stuff, I looked inside the recipe book and it was in a language I don't recognize . I wonder if they are really German .....

Either way, here is a picture I stole from Peters mom's recipe book.

Looks good don't it

Looks good don't it . I know my mouth is watering just looking at it .

My Mamo tells me to be thankful for everything we have! I'm very thankful, what can I say other than my Tata is the best tailor in Warsaw . He works on suits for the richest of the rich ! Men come from all over Europe just to get fitted for their business attire from my Tata.

I could go on and on for days but , I'm going to have to pick up tomorrow . Dinner is almost ready.
