I just said that pierogi is already the plural... sad.

Oh caught it!
Pierogi=plural=Correct
Pierogies=plural=incorrect
Thanks @Barclamïu da Miéletz

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on March 13, 2026, 03:08:26 PMWhat do you suggest that's veg that I could try?

If I'm not wrong, being vegetarian is when you don't eat meat only, so I suggest any type of pierogi with a filling not made with meat as well, basically anything flour or potato-based without meat. I would also suggest making vegetable salad without meat (still a traditional Polish side dish even though it originated in Russia).

And I guess I was wrong, there are a lot of vegetarian Polish dishes, you'd have to look for them here.

I actually live in an area with a significant Polish-American population, so pierogis are often available fresh in our local supermarkets, even though we're a rural area.  My girls love them!  I do wonder what a good sauce might be for them, though, since I feel like they would benefit from something like that maybe.  Or maybe just something to accompany them like sauerkraut or sour cream or something.

In English, we usually use pierogis as the plural, even though it's not correct for Polish.  It's one of those things where being technically correct would make you sound pretentious, like the pronunciation of Barcelona.

Quote from: Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be on March 20, 2026, 03:36:56 PMOne other suggestion for the Baron: roast vegetable salad. Diced sweet potato, red onion, Brussels sprouts, and broccoli on a tray in the oven, toss with mixed greens. Use the leftover vegetables with eggs in a hash for breakfast one day on the weekend. Simple, versatile, tasty.

We do the roast vegetables and will often have them with eggs, although I'm not sure we ever have had them in a salad.  I wouldn't have thought of that -- I'd guess you have to dice them pretty small so that big chunks of veggies don't overwhelm your lettuce?

Quote from: Iason Taiwos on March 20, 2026, 07:25:59 PMI have never lost my love for the food I grew up on in Texas, most of which is impossible to find in Ohio. My local Walmart actually sells crawfish, (frozen, pre-seasoned and cooked), and while not as good as what you'd get at a live crawfish boil, it's okay. A few local Chinese restaurants serve crawfish, but advertise them as "baby lobsters". I could have live crawfish shipped to me from Louisiana, but it's too expensive.

I've never had a crawfish boil, but I've seen them in videos and they look amazing.

Quote from: Moinul Moin on March 21, 2026, 07:16:35 AMThat are some popular Indian vegetarian foods that many foreigners enjoy trying.(Popular also in India)
Some great options include Paneer Butter Masala (a creamy cheese curry), Masala Dosa (a crispy rice pancake with potato filling), Vegetable Biryani (flavored rice with vegetables), and Samosa (a crispy snack with spiced potatoes). These are generally tasty and beginner-friendly.

We eat a lot of those things -- even before spending a good amount of time in India (a lot of it staying with @Béneditsch Ardpresteir !) we have loved Indian food.  There's a significant Gujurati population here, and one of my coworkers is Jain, so I've been fortunate enough to get to try a good number of things.  I should learn to cook more of it!

You travelled India too!Very amazing news to me as dwelling near India.

Quote from: King Txec on March 20, 2026, 04:18:44 PMWonderful. I believe then we can use the blazon "Azure, crossed swords proper beneath an atom Or." I would like to submit this blazon and emblazon to the Squirrel Viceroy of Arms @Baron Alexandreu Davinescu who will then, upon approval, present it to the King (me) for our next day of Honours.

-Txec R/REH

@King Txec
Thank you, Your Majesty. I am truly honored by your approval and your guidance throughout this process. The blazon sounds perfect to me, and I fully agree with submitting it to the Squirrel Viceroy of Arms for the next steps.
I am deeply grateful for your time and for personally designing my arms—this is a distinction I will always cherish. I humbly look forward to the upcoming Day of Honours.
Long live Your Majesty!

Quote from: Iason Taiwos on March 20, 2026, 07:25:59 PMAs for pierogis

Pierogi is already the plural, the singular form would be pierog.

@Barclamïu da Miéletz
I am a very newbie to Pierogies,I think that are like Indian Momos

Indians make vegetable salad with salt, cucumber, carrot, tomato and onion slices .And mix well in a bowl,thats taste great with any fried foods and biriyani. You can try it!

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on March 13, 2026, 08:02:14 AMI make a lot of Japanese and Korean food, and I'm trying to learn to cook Indian.  My family is vegetarian, and in my experience those cuisines are some of the easiest and most flavorful to cook without meat.

Indian foods are very familiar to me! And they are hub of species,I have tried Korean Ramen too ! @Baron Alexandreu Davinescu

We can do it in any way you prefer.

-Txec R/REH

Your Majesty @King Txec, I think I failed to made you understand. However, I am gonna trying to make you understand again. I wanted that the logo shape will remain same as before also the background. I wanted the atom model at the super middle of the logo. Then the two swords will be curved according to the logo shape . the two swords handle will start from the bottom point of the logo. then the two will go upward as curved on the direction of the the logo shape. And they both will stop after rising just the arms of the two sides of the logo

I believe I understand. Let me just say that I'm not a graphic artist, I'm a Herald in the College of Arms. The main task is to create an appropriate blazon (the description) and we do our best to create a visual representation of that as well. If this example isn't quite what you want, you might try creating it yourself to at least give me more information.

Your Majesty, @King Txec
Thank you very much for your kind explanation and for the effort you have already put into the design. I truly appreciate your role as a Herald and the work you do in creating both the blazon and its visual representation.
I would like to respectfully say that the design you have provided is already very close to what I had envisioned, and I genuinely like and prefer it. It reflects my idea quite well, and I am satisfied with it.
Thank you once again, Your Majesty.

Sorry to say ,I think the previous was better. @King Txec 

Quote from: King Txec on March 18, 2026, 04:05:57 PMWe have some time until the next Honors, which is Tafsut Imazighen (Berber Spring) Honours on April 20. Let's work on refining now because once I award these arms, they can't be changed.

By the way, you can refer to me as King Txec or Txec. The R in my signature is in reference to the word Regeu which means King. It's an ordinary way monarchs sign things so it can be excluded in normal conversation.

-Txec R

@King Txec I think that, the swords can be more long and can be situated in more downwards, the atom structure will be situated on the center of coat of arms. What do you think about this change?

Quote from: King Txec on March 18, 2026, 10:49:12 AMHere is a very preliminary draft of the elements you requested so far. Let me know what else you want or how you would like the arms to appear.



-Txec R/REH

Thank you very much for this preliminary design. It is truly a great honor for me that the King of Talossa designed it.I really appreciate the direction of the design. And I am really feeling very lucky!
I'm pleased to confirm that I would like to choose this design as my official coat of arms. It represents my vision and identity very well.
If there is any possibility for minor refinements in the future(I think there is no), I would be happy to discuss them. However, overall I am fully satisfied with this version.
Once again, my sincere thanks and gratitude to His Majesty for this honor. Long live your Majesty!

I am currently planning to watch the new seasons of Paradise, For All Mankind, and need to restart watching Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.

The Queen and I just finished season 1 of Paradise and will start season 2 this week.

This show has the potential to be one of the best ever!

I have recently seen "Jujutsu Kaisen" and "How to train your Dragon" of them the second was best.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on March 13, 2026, 08:00:58 AMJust a public notice to all Progs who haven't seen it: according to our constitution, our regularly-scheduled election for party leader is coming soon!  Check out the announcement and further details in the private party forum.

A big salute to @Baron Alexandreu Davinescu and @þerxh Sant-Enogat for their outstanding leadership of the Progressive Alliance! Their dedication and vision have shaped the Progressive Alliance and inspired our community in Talossa.
I hope to see them lead again in the future, and I'll be glad to support their continued guidance and contributions to progress and unity! 🚀🤝

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on March 15, 2026, 11:08:24 AM@xpb You have brought an unusual amount of activity to the Foreign Affairs Ministry. This should be celebrated.

I also think so!!

Your Majesty @King Txec , thank you very much for your kind support ,I truly appreciate it.
I am also honored to receive assistance from @Baron Alexandreu Davinescu. Being offered to get help by the King of Talossa is a great privilege for me.
Regarding my preference: my primary favorite color is blue. For  the design of my arms, I envision something that reflects both strength and knowledge ,specifically, "crossed swords" to symbolize courage and defense, along with an atom model (with a nucleus) to represent science, curiosity, and energy. I have checked the page you shared ,which inspired me to decide that.
Thank you once again for your encouragement and support!
