Goodies from the Polish shop

There are a few Polish shops in Calgary and recently I have visited one of them. I got some great Polish sweets like Ptasie Mleczko or Pierniki Toruńskie (Toruń gingerbread). The first one is a soft chocolate covered candy with a filling that is hard to describe, some say it is chocolate covered vanilla marshmallow but I wouldn’t agree because it has a different texture than marshmallow.

And Pierniki Torunskie is something I must have every Christmas. They come from the city of Torun where Nicolaus Copernicus was born. They are handmade in Torun and are either covered with chocolate or icing, some are stuffed with jam and come in different shapes. I love these cookies!

You should try it :)

Fashion Calgary Portrait Campaign Gala

I was thinking to make a post on my blog and add couple pictures from the Portrait Campaign Gala.

I met Anna Basak at the beginning of my Canadian journay. She and her husband Rafal Wegiel are owners of Fashion Calgary.

Thanks to them had chance to be part of really amazing event Fashion Calgary Portrait Campaign. The Campaign was organized to celebrate the fact that Calgary was chosen for city of culture this year.

Thank you guys for such a wonderful night. It was a great experience! I saw an amazing performances of Oscar Lopez, Sophie Serafino and Justine Tyrell Leach and met many great people.
