Jan The Athlete – The Value Of Sport

Sport

As I’ve already mentioned in the About Us section, sport is a very important part of our lives and we want to acquaint Jan with several disciplines, let him a feel that you can have a lot of fun when playing sports and getting better and better at it. Our goal is to show him that the satisfaction from jogging, swimming or riding a given distance is a reward in itself. To prove that these are not just words, I’d like to introduce Jan The Athlete. Falling in love with skiing from the first descent Skiing was the first sport he started practicing. The first time he put on skis was when he was 2.5 yo, on the slope in Limanowa, Poland. The lesson lasted 2 hours and I really don’t know how the instructor did it, but he managed to ski down with Jan from the very top of the slope. Of course, getting down lasted about 40 minutes and Jan was really tired when they reached the feet of the mountain, but that was just the first time. That winter he skied two or three times with instructors, on beginner’s slopes. At this point I need to say […]

Tasty Red Thai Curry Prawns Appetizer – Recipe

Food

We’ve started to be committed fans of Thai red curry paste two or three years ago. This spice offers a great balance of sweet Thai flavours including aromatic lemongrass and spicy red chillies. It goes well with chicken, beef or sea food. It is tastes superb if used with vegetables. And on most occasions the best results are reached if it is mixed with coconut milk. This recipe (for 2 people) is about speed and simplicity – two main features of the modern cuisine. We call it red Thai curry prawns. It can act as a snack or appetizer (starter). It shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes to prepare that dish (including preparation). Red Thai curry prawns ingredients 2 spoons of red Thai curry paste 1/2 small onion (white or red) 2 garlic cloves 2 squeezes of lemon Ca. 300g of fantail prawns (cooked, part shelled and tail on) 2 teaspoons of olive oil Method Heat up the oil Add prawns, onion and garlic and fry for around 2 minutes Add Thai red curry paste and fry for another 2-3 minutes Place everything on the plate and sprinkle with lemon juice. Voila! Time’s off. Dish is ready

Kale, Banana and Kiwi Green Healthy Smoothie – Recipe

Food

This kale smoothie is one of our favourite and a great way to have a healthy snack (meal). We drink it 1-2 times a week and we treat it as a last snack before we go to sleep (we don’t drink it however later than 2 hours before going to bed – in our case last healthy snack time is ca. 9pm). Kale contains powerful antioxidants (helps protect against certain types of cancers), fibre, calcium, vitamin K, C and beta carotene. It is also a source of sulfarophane that has anti diabetic properties. Kale has a little bit stronger flavor than spinach, so if you prefer sweeter flavours and you are really not in to veggie aroma in smoothies we have great news – our smoothie contains banana – it helps to mask unwanted flavours and you will barely taste the kale. You might also want to use other strongly flavoured fruits such pineapple or strawberries. Smoothie ingredients 3x kiwi 1x Banana 1 spoon of honey (we use organic, made in Poland) 1/2 spoon of grape oil 2 fistful of kale 1 slice of lemon Method Peel the fruits Wash the kale Place everything in the mixing dish, add honey, […]
