Golabki?

My last name is Jablonski…of course I’m Polish.  With that comes the love of Polish foods.  Pierogis, Bigos, Halushki just to name a few.  Love ‘em all.  So while my mom was in town we decided to bust out our favorite

Golabki (Stuffed Cabbage)

Ground meat, egg, rice, onion…..mixed and rolled in some cabbage, then tossed in a slow cooker with some tomato sauce.  8 hours later…DELICIOUS

Anyway, here’s our handy work.  We busted out 73 of them.

Every Little Thing Is Gonna Be Alright

It can be tough out there; whether it is your job, the economy, or whatever.  But remember, its all cyclical.  For every valley, there is a peak. 

So have faith that it is going to get better, because in the immortal words of Bob Marley, “Every little thing’s gonna be alright….”

The Boss 1930 – 2010

I am definitely not a Yankees fan.  But I do appreciate George Steinbrenner, aka The Boss, for a few reasons. 

I appreciate his vision in business.  He had the vision to revitalize his dad’s struggling shipping company by redirecting it’s focus (from ore to grain).  He had the vision to buy a lowly baseball team from CBS for 8.8 million and then turn it into an empire that is now worth 1.5 BILLION!  

I appreciate his generosity.  He donated large amounts of money to the Tampa area for museums and parks.  He donated 1 million dollars to the memorial fund that was set up after the Virginia Tech Shootings.   And being from Ohio, he funded the Ohio State Marching Band for years…just to name a few.

And

Lastly, I appreciate his sense of humor.   Prime example of this, Seinfeld.  To be mocked on National TV and to take it in stride.  That shows you are confident and have a great sense of humor. 

So, here’s to you George.

Tiger Sharks

 

 

Jessica and I went back to Pittsburgh a few weeks ago.  We had a blast and did a ton of things, one of which was the Pittsburgh Zoo.

I haven’t been back there in years…..they have done an amazing job.   Take a look at these tiger sharks…..WOW THE TEETH. 

Not sure I would enjoy diving with these guys.
