Kuba or Paulinka....

[carendon71]

I have a crazy :?: for either one of you.
Yesterday as I'm having Kielbasa for dinner I'm thinking: "Is this really Polish food, or is it an American thing?"
Because like our Chinese food is not really what they eat in china, Italian food not what they have in italy, etc.
Is that really your typical food?

Told you it's a crazy question :P

[Emi]

:lol:
waitin eagerly for their answer :wink:

[carendon71]

Oh, BTW, Kuba & Paulinka:
September is just a few days from now :mrgreen:
It already feels like September here!

[QbeCK]

yes, we have kiełbasa in poland, but i'm not so sure it's originally from here :roll:

so it's getting sunny in poland now :mrgreen: ha :lol:

[carendon71]

:mrgreen:

[Paulinka]

Ow, actually it's not one & only kiełbasa, there are many different types of it...
Ya know, something like French cheese :wink: We have: krakowska, podwawelska, śląska, ogonówka, żywiecka, kabanosy...
Unfortunately I don't eat either of them, coz I'm definitely not a kiełbasa-fan :|
But the types I've mentioned are surely original Polish ones and I know many Polish people living abroad who keep buying them in Polish stores abroad... :roll: They say Polish kiełbasa is the best, but it's not me who can judge it, coz I personally find it disgusting ;)

[carendon71]

They say Polish kiełbasa is the best


They have my vote, that's for sure. I LOVE Kielbasa :mrgreen:

[Paulinka]

Ow, glad u like it :mrgreen:
Maybe I should try it too... :roll: I mean: I've already forgotten how does it actually taste :wink:

[Emi]

so its cheese, shall i try it too? :roll:

[Chili]

i'm afraid it's not cheeese, Emi...
Pau, is this the same as russian kolbasa?.. :roll:

[Paulinka]

Yes, Giu, it's the same ;)
Noooo Emi, Giu is right - it's NOT cheese :shock: I just used this comparison to show how many types of it we have :roll:
Kiełbasa is more likely a sausage. And that's why I don't like it, coz I'm generally not si into meat :roll:

[Chili]

mmm.....no meat at all?? no way?.. :shock:

[Paulinka]

No, not AT ALL :roll:
I like chicken, turkey and so on... also some kind of thin meat :roll:
But not any kinds of fat sausages & meat, neva! :lol:

[Emi]

ooooow i misunderstood smth again :oops:

thank god i have no problems with food :roll:

[QbeCK]

hmm... i don't eat kielbasa as well :roll:

maybe with mustard or sth ;-)

[Emi]

ive never tasted mustard :roll:

[QbeCK]

and u'll never know what u r missing unless u taste 'musztarda kielecka delikatesowa' :mrgreen:

when i lived in wroclaw it was one of the things i missed the most :roll:

[Paulinka]

oh, thank God, I'm not that choosy and I can live in wrocław happily even without this wonderful&one&only mustard :P
Though mustard is good indeed, esp. when mixed up with ketchup :roll:

[carendon71]

I LOVE meat :mrgreen:
Steak & Fries is my fav meal.

[Paulinka]

OK, I'll take fries only :mrgreen:

[Emi]

most americans love meat :mrgreen:

[carendon71]

OK, I don't know whether to say "yes we do :mrgreen:" or "hey!!!! :twisted:"

[QbeCK]

i like meat too ;-)
does it make me american :roll: :lol:

[Emi]

i luv meat too, but im sure im not an american :lol:

[QbeCK]

emi u might become one of them someday :roll:
;-)

[Emi]

:shock: no way? is that possible!!

[carendon71]

Emi an american? :shock:
She'd have to COME to america first for that :P

Just teasing. ;)

[QbeCK]

well.. she'll go to america sooner or later :roll:

maybe not this time, but who knows :?:

[Emi]

yeah i think too. I have a feeling that sooner or later im gonna land up in US :roll:

[QbeCK]

so if ur future lies in us... why not becoming us citizen ?

u like meat already ;-)

[Emi]

im not in a rush :P

[QbeCK]

i like ur turkish and dutch side, so i guess i'd like u as an american too :roll: ;-)

[Emi]

i wont be sure of that! :roll: And besides if i get american too i will get confused :P

[QbeCK]

think of the confusion u'd cause to all the new people u meet :lol:

"
-where r u from :?:
-i'm from turkey but i'm dutch and i live in america
"

:lol:

[Paulinka]

That won't be as cool opening line as ur current one:
"Hi, I'm Emi, a Turkish girls from Holland" ;)

[QbeCK]

one more nationality shouldn't make a real difference to u ;-)

[Emi]

ow Pau, i had forgotton that line :lol: its been too long i said that though

[QbeCK]

it was always weird in the beggining :roll:

[carendon71]

Yeah, that would be alot.......

[QbeCK]

anyway american nationality wouldn't change u for worse i hope ;-)

[Emi]

i dont think i would change at all :roll:

[carendon71]

Why would you?

[QbeCK]

it would change u a lil'.. just dunno how ;-)

and won't find out until u become american :roll:

[Emi]

dunno....guess we'll have to find it out soon :wink:

[QbeCK]

how soon :roll:

[Emi]

like eekkmm in January or smth like that :roll:

[carendon71]

Really?

[Emi]

ehm no :roll: Maybe if we go abroad for our projects this final schoolyear and who knows maybe US is included in the schedule too :wink:

[carendon71]

[Paulinka]

[Klara]

[QbeCK]

[carendon71]

um....yeah......

Hey, but what's wrong with food :?:
It is good to get to know the food of other cultures.

[QbeCK]

of course :!:

i was always curious why hamburger is american national food, when it's obvious it came from germany :roll:

[carendon71]

From Germany :shock:
How do you get that?

Burgers, Pizza, Fries :mrgreen:

[Julia/Graves]

I thought the hamburger was an American thing????

[carendon71]

You tell him, Julia!!!

[Julia/Graves]

Hamburg, New York, USA claims credit for the invention of the hambuger!!! :D

[carendon71]

WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

In your face Kuba :twisted:

Thanks Julia ;)
HAD to be NY because NY rules :mrgreen:

[Julia/Graves]

I did some r :mrgreen: esearch to back up my statement before I said anything. They said it was NY!!!

[QbeCK]

u r wrong :!: :twisted:

hamburger was invented in germany - surely :!:

pizza - do i really have to tell :roll:

fries - why r they being called french :?

[carendon71]

Yes, Kuba :roll:

*psst, Julia, just let him think he's correct*

Besides, wasn't MODERN pizza invented in NY as well?

[QbeCK]

write it on italian forum carlos :evil:

[carendon71]

:P
OK, so maybe NOT pizza :roll:

[QbeCK]

did u write it in there :?: :roll: :lol:

[carendon71]

No, I looked it up in the Wikipedia :roll:

[Julia/Graves]

ok your tight Kuba :roll:

[QbeCK]

why didn't u write it in italian forum :? do it, please :mrgreen:

let them join my conspiracy :twisted: :lol:

[carendon71]

evil kuba :p

[QbeCK]

that's just the way i am :evil:

[Paulinka]

Ekhm... ya know guys, nothin against american, but ur pizza is just a piece of... well ya know ;)
Check out the REAL italian one ;)

[QbeCK]

i've tried to tell carlos.. :roll:

[Chili]

well, then why the americans were so weird to call it HAMBURGER?...i wonder :roll:

[QbeCK]

because it came from hamburg maybe :roll:

[Julia/Graves]

why are we weird??? :| I'm not weird, more like crazy!!!!! :P

[QbeCK]

for europeans weird and crazy is the same thing :lol:

[Chili]

heh, right, almost the same.. :roll:
so, if it cam from hanburg why they say they invented it? :roll:

[QbeCK]

lia already told u - they're crazy :roll:

:lol:

[Chili]

hm....too slow to understand :oops: :roll:

[carendon71]

Crazy.....maybe


so, if it cam from hanburg why they say they invented it?

Hamburg, NY

[Julia/Graves]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[QbeCK]

german immigrants, read it again carlos :lol:

germans anyway :p

[Julia/Graves]

Are we still on the hambuger thing??????

[carendon71]

He doesn't want to let it go. :?

[carendon71]

This forum is probably the reason why I've had burgers like 4 days in a row :P

[Julia/Graves]

As a health Nut!!!! bad bad bad!!!!!!!!!!

[carendon71]

I know, I know. :oops:
But I've been going on the bike all these days twice as long to make up for it :P

[carendon71]

You know, the other day I went to McDonalds & I felt SO stupid 'cuz I ordered a salad.
Then I saw this one guy walk in who was like 5x my size :P
I then felt good about that salad :mrgreen:

[Julia/Graves]

thats good! The key those is lots of protein, lean protein like chicken or fish......

[carendon71]

:? That is the problem. I don't fancy chicken nor fish. :oops:
Unless it's Salmon or Tuna. :mrgreen:

[Julia/Graves]

Salmon is good. I don't like any other fish myself..... :?

I drink a protein shake everyday after my work out to get enough protein every day

[carendon71]

A Protein shake, eh?
I'll have to try that.

[Julia/Graves]

I get mine from GNC

[carendon71]

Hmm...I think we have one of those in the Commons here.
I'll have to go check.

[Julia/Graves]

the kind I use is the GNC mega whey protein. It has 40 grams of protein, it doesn't taste to bad. I get the choclate. I mix mine with water though. I don't want the added calories of the milk. I count my calories every day too. I have to have only 1400 or so, with 140 grams of protein!!!!! Yes I know, I obsessed!!! A good obsession to have if I do say so myself.........It pays off! :wink:

[carendon71]

Yeah, that is a good thing to be obsessed about.
I'm trying to obesess about it a little more.

[Chili]

Look at those guys!!! they seem to find each other!! just bla bla abt gyms, prteins, coctails...etcc.. :mrgreen:

[carendon71]

What can I say?
That stuff is important.

[QbeCK]

bet it ain't that important at all, it's just abt lifestyle...

[Julia/Graves]

Lifestyle yes! But a healthy one!! It is important, atleast to me it is...........

[Paulinka]

Oh geez that reminds me that awful protein drink I tasted the other day! :shock:
Guys, it was completely disgusting! :x The thing is that I hate vegetables drinks and this one was made of tomatoes, paprica, broccoli and God only knows what more :shock:
I mean: excellent for a salad - but not for a drink :x

[Julia/Graves]

YUCK!!!!!!!!

The kind I drink is chocolate. It's not half bad. Trust me, I've gone through many different kinds to find a good one. Atleast one to tolerate. Granted it's not like a "real" shake with icecream or whatever, but it will do. It's a MAJOR part in my weight training. I mean the food that I take in on a daily basis.

:wink: It just depends on your goals and what "look" your going for??

[Chili]

hm...well, okay, and what happen if ya stop drink all that stuff???

[Julia/Graves]

You see in order to gain muscle you aside from the lifting weights, you have to have a lot of protein intake on a daily basis. It's based on your height, weight, age, body mass index.....how many grams per day of protein that is. Also you calories too. In oder to lose weight you must bulid muscle. Muscle boosts your metabolism, which helps to burn fat. You must have a large amount of protein every day to obtain this. I must have 140 grams per day. I can only eat so much chicken and fish. So I supplement it with a protein shake. If I stop getting the 140 grams of protein per day, then I lose muscle, and gain FAT!!!!! I don't want fat so this is why I need lots and lots of protein....

[Chili]

OMG! better i did not ask this question, coz is too complicated for me..

[Julia/Graves]

Sorry, once you get me going I don't stop! Didn't mean to complicate things......

[Chili]

now, just i thought...could not one just get some muscles without all those protein coctails? when one just wants some better shape but without any fanatism, ya know..

[Julia/Graves]

The protein intake helps...........It also depends on the person, their body, how their made to begin with? Some people are naturally built with muscles and they don't have to work out much. I say if you want to be in shape or lose weight. Dieting alone doesn't work. Well, you might lose the weight. But without exercising the weight will come back just as fast as you lost it!

[Chili]

okkay, but i was talking exactly on the contrary - abt excersing but without taking coctails or whatever..

[Julia/Graves]

you can do it, I suppose, for me it would be harder with what I do on a daily basis

[Chili]

i see...so, ya mean that ya can't stop? if ya don't want to get some weight back, right?

[Julia/Graves]

Right!! muscle gets rid of fat

you build muscle through weights and by protein lots of it! if I didn't get the protein I needed every day, then I'd start to get more fat than muscle

[Chili]

i see....i must say it sucks in a way...

[Julia/Graves]

Sure does...........it's a daily thing..........takes hard work.......

I gotta run to the store for a few things. I'm dreading it, it's pooring rain.... :?

You be here later??? Or will it be too late? I suppose I'll find out!

c-ya!

[Chili]

Lia, i'm afraid i won't be here, coz it's already midnight here so i'm going to sleep, have a good day, see ya!!

[carendon71]

Julia, the forums' personal trainer :lol:
Just as long as you don't start charging us for this, keep going ;)

[Julia/Graves]

I am!!! That would be me!!!!!!!!! No charging, that is until I get my own web site going when I will actually have on line PT. Then I will be asking for the $$ :wink:

[carendon71]

Hear that people?
Ask away now before she changes her mind :P

[Julia/Graves]

yep!

[carendon71]

OK, question #1:
What are the best cardio workouts?
Right now I'm just going on the bike while watching "King of Queens"
I LOVE Leah Remini :mrgreen:

[Paulinka]

What's King of Queens? Sth we may know? ;)

[Julia/Graves]

haha!

I preferr walking and running on the treadmill......bike is good...

I'm not into that aerobic shit! Yeah, if you could've been a fly on the wall to see me at my friends "advanced" aerobic class!!!! HAAAAAAAA!! :lol: I crack up at myself just thinking about it! It was that step aerobics, I almost broke my neck!!

It's really whatever you like. The main thing though when you do cardio or any other type of exercise you're not doing the same amount of time and intensity every time. You must switch it up, make it harder go less amount of time..........longer time etc.

You don't want your body to get used to doing the same thing over and over otherwise it will come ineffectice and you may as well not do it at all. Same goes for weight training, doing the same weights, you will never get stronger....

[carendon71]

King of Queens is a TV show starring Kevin James, the guy from the movie "Hitch" with Will Smith, & my all-time fav Leah Remini.

I Love walking too, but when it's not nice out, what can you do?
:shock: What did you do to almost break your neck?

[Julia/Graves]

hahahaaah! :lol: Trying to step up and down and sidways and all over the place with those little plat forms they use!!!! I'm telling it was nuts!

Here is was like 20 at the time, these 80 year old women were in there doing everything to the T, it was a trip! They were putting me to shame!! :?

[carendon71]

:P
That sucks!
Like this one time I went skating on a wed. night.
Only old people, but they could skate like 1000x better than me :P
I had to leave.

[Julia/Graves]

ya know??????? thats why Aerobics is not for me! I'll stick to my weights and treadmill :wink: .......It does the job.........

[carendon71]

Yeah.
:( I miss doing weights.

[Julia/Graves]

why don't ya do it anymore??

[carendon71]

Gym is too expensive. I'm already spending too much on gas :P

[Julia/Graves]

It can be.....mine is only $29 a month, month to month with no contracts

[carendon71]

:shock: You have got to be kidding me!!!!!!!!!!

Check mine out:
http://www.omnihealthclub.com/

[Julia/Graves]

Good LORD!!! Your gym is one of those gyms that has everything!! Pool this, that and the other.

My gym is your basic 80's hard core lifting weights, clinking iron, serious weight lifting people gym.....we have a seperate cardio room with 5 treadmills, a couple bikes, elipticle, stair stepper, thats it......

My best friends own the place...it not a franchise, it's family owned, it's nothing fancy but what they have to me it's all you need....

check it out, there's live web cams so you can look into the gym and see whats going on.......... www.thetrainingstationinc.com

[carendon71]

there's live web cams so you can look into the gym

So we can spy on you, eh?
Just kidding.

Well, there is another gym in sag harbor, that I was telling you about, that everyone goes there :roll:

[Julia/Graves]

Yes actually you can!!

[carendon71]

OK, then we'll be spying :P

[Julia/Graves]

I'll be there at 10 am, I have no idea what time that will be for you?????? You could probably look it up on the internet. Time converters from where you are to Indianpolis time......

I'm there Mon-Fri, usually me and my work-out partner/friend are the only 2 girl around at that time so you can't miss us!!!

Haha! I don't care if you spy!!!! 8) :D :P

[carendon71]

What are you gonna show off for us? :P
What time zone are you in BTW?

[Julia/Graves]

I'm showing off at 10, it's 8:30 now :D

OK I might sound stupid but I'm not sure the time zone?? Part of the reason why is Indiana is the only state that doesn't have day light savings time. So when the rest of the world changed, we stayed the same. Although next year we'll have it finally.............

[carendon71]

Then you are CST
You are an hour behind me.

[Julia/Graves]

OH, like I said, I'll be there at 10, then thats an hour and a half from now........

[carendon71]

Yup.

[Julia/Graves]

It's legs day........... :? NOt my fave..........

By the way, I'm in Black and white :wink:

[carendon71]

OK ;)

[Paulinka]

Wait wait guys - Indiana is the only state that doesn't have the daylight savings time??? :shock:
Geeez :lol: That's interesyting... Does anyone know the reason?

[carendon71]

:shock: I didn't even know :P

[Julia/Graves]

We will starting next summer...

I'm not sure why....Kind os stupid we didn't have it.

[Paulinka]

Oh... so it looks u'r gonna have it as well soon... it's just a matter of time, huh? ;)
As for me: I ADORE sleeping this one additional hour on that special October night :D

[Julia/Graves]

Yep! Soon enough!

[Chili]

hah, Pau, normally i adore to sleep this hour too, but since 2 years ago i've got unpleasant memories abt this additional hour.... :roll: Wanna know why?
2 years ago, it was October, i was in Italy, and was leaving to Vienna from Milano, and i had my flight very early in the morming - smth abt 7 a.m., so, as ya can guess i had to be at the aiport 2-1,5 hour prior to departure...And i also had to get to Milano from Rome first (was such a stupid thing of me to take flights from Milano, i understood my mistake later)...So....i arrived to Milano Centrale from Rome smth abt 00:00, and i was a bit slow with orientation and with collecting my things from the train...so, till the time i found the stop for shuttle buses to a/p, i just saw the last bus showing me its "back"...Well, i said, okay, i can wait in the waiting hall, is not a big deal...
But ya know what??? These f**** guys from the train station they closed it around 1 a.m., of coz asking all the pple to get out and wait outside, and outside it was soooooo cold!!! And they were going to open the waiting hall only smth around 3 or 4 a.m. And, it happened that it was that very night when all the world changes the time...Soooo, can ya imagine, what i had to bear while waiting outside, when it was extremely cold, and waiting one hour MORE??...i got cold to the bones, and till the time they opened that shit hall, i thought i'd die... :?
but despite this, of coz i like to sleep it... :roll:

[Paulinka]

oh geeez, poor Giu :(
Please promise this year u'll spend this night at home, ok? ;)

[Chili]

hm....i promise - bcoz this year i have a flight in the evening :mrgreen:

[carendon71]

8)

[QbeCK]

trains have to stop and wait 4 that hour, i wonder what planes do :roll: ;-)

[Buffy_The_Slayer]

well, maybe they fly some circles..... :lol:

[carendon71]

:shock: Oh, man, it sucks when they do that.

[Buffy_The_Slayer]

yeah... it does... but I prefer some circling to hours and hours of delay when you are stuck at the airport.... :roll:

[carendon71]

I HATE waiting. Life is WAY too short to be wasting it.

[Buffy_The_Slayer]

yeah, but have you also experienced that the unpleasant things in life always seem to last longer and when everything is perfect time simply flies.... I thing THAT is really UNFAIR!!!!!! :evil:

[carendon71]

:P OK here we go:

Theory of Relativity

How long a minute lasts depends on what side of the WC door you are on :P

[Buffy_The_Slayer]

ekkmm... wasn't that somewhere in another topic.... uupps, were mixing topics, or were doing a sythesis of 2 posts... wow!
:lol:

[carendon71]

Hey, why not!!!!? We're the only two here anyways :lol:

But, isn't it true what I said?

[Buffy_The_Slayer]

no problem, i thought it was cool!! 8)
yep, absolutely true! :lol: as I sadi before: pleasant and unpleasant things- when you're inside it is pleasant, outside=unpleasant... see, you proofed the theory.... :lol:

[carendon71]

8) Glad to be of help. :lol:

[Buffy_The_Slayer]

so, know I know who to ask... anyway, writing my final paper on a subject linked to time... maybe i can use your example.... :lol: :lol: :wink:

[carendon71]

:P There you go.
Just remember to give me credit 4 it ;)

[Buffy_The_Slayer]

sure! And I'll put the reference down... hihi... carlos, 2005. theory of relativity. In: Kuba or Paulinka. p. 13. Neviani publishing.... :lol:
my prof will surely like it! 8)

[carendon71]

:mrgreen:
Hey, who knows, he might become the newest newbie :P

[Buffy_The_Slayer]

well, could be fun... I'll ask him if he wants to show up here the next time I see him! :wink:

[carendon71]

There you go ;)

[Buffy_The_Slayer]

so, just wait and see...

[carendon71]

OK, I guess

[Buffy_The_Slayer]

hmmm, well, on 2nd thoughts... :roll:

[carendon71]

No, eh? :P

[Buffy_The_Slayer]

well, were not THAT confident... :lol:
