    This is a great event...

    Amy Smardz from the Adam Mickiewicz Library will also be part of the presentation.

    Wigilia is my favorite family gathering of the year...

    Mine too, BroadwayFillmoreAlive!

    I have been hosting our family Wigilia for the past couple of years; since my mom is allergic to fish, I've got to get creative with our menu. I found that the cookbook "Just Like Babcia Used to Make" (available for purchase at the Broadway Market) has some great recipes for Wigilia (and beyond).

    The illustration you see above was done by local artist Alice Wadowski Bak. It's one of my favorite Christmas scenes. There is a very good guide to Wigilia written by Father Czeslaw Krysa entitled "A Polish Christmas Eve," Last I looked, it was available for sale at the card and gift shop at the Broadway Market, located to the left of where Savor the Flavor usually takes place. In your travels in libraries, book stores or online, if not at the B-Market, check out: Sophie Hodorowicz-Knab's "Polish Customs, Traditions & Folklore. Sophie lives in Grand Island. Fr. Krysa in Arcade.
