Perogies

Today was our annual perogie making day, 

each year it's become a tradition to get together

with my adult children and spend an afternoon

making perogies. 

We made three, oops, nope it was four different types. 

There is sauerkraut and bacon, another is cheddar and potato, 

the third is cottage cheese and potato and as we were

making the first batch of it was decided we were

going to step out of the box a bit...

We made some pizza perogies. What we all decided on

was to take the cheddar filling, add pepperoni, some Italian

spices and a bit of hot pepper. Instead of using sour cream

to top these with, naturally we tried them, we used pizza

sauce and they were delicious! Not something I'd make for a 

Christmas dinner, but a game day or New Years Eve side dish

these would be fantastic! Next time we make pizza perogies

I'll use different cheese, there will be a next time

without a doubt. 

Delicious! 

With four and a half of us pinching the perogies

time passed quickly, the work was done in no time 

at all and we shared some good laughs. 

Elyssa (being the half) made her first perogie today...

Something tells me this will be the first of 

many more to come! 

It can get exhausting standing for hours on end, 

but when there's a bit of a lull you bet it's spent sitting,

but not for long!

Who says that making perogies is a tough job? 

We have fun doing it, and as I mentioned the work

gets done in no time at all. 

Elyssa and Daddy having some fun! 

I have no idea how many perogies were pinched today,

last year when I bagged them it was 27 dozen,

and we always cook up a few dozen. Something tells me

that we're up there around that number again this year.

I guess that I am getting organized for Christmas, 
just a bit more shopping and now perogies are
done... what's next? Right... homework and get this 
course off of my desk!
