Last week, Joe had a day off and helped me prepare for Wigilia (traditional Polish Christmas Eve dinner) by making pierogi. Pierogi are a little crescent-shaped bundles of joy. :) It's a sour cream dough filled with potatoes and/or cheese (if you're fancy like my grandma, you could do sauerkraut or prunes). You first roll out the dough, and cut out little circles. After filling the circle, you fold it in half and press the edges together.
We forgot to take a picture of all the steps (as you can tell). Once they're pinched you boil them in water. You could eat them now, but what fun would that be? Of course the Polish think that frying their pierogi is a best next step :)
Delicious! We've got them in the freezer, ready to go for Christmas Eve. Add a little sour cream and a sledgie, and you're all set!
Remember the vending machine post? Well not only to vending machines vend cold cokes and teas, but hot green teas as well! This was great! It was a hot green tea, it a little metal can.
The weather here has cooled off considerably since we got here in July. We're not quite at a white Christmas, but it is cool enough to wear pants and sweaters and try a hot beverage...
