Well, stuffed cabbage, of course. My mother made that well too. My
grandmother made a babka that was just incredible. All I know is it had a
dozen eggs and a lot of butter but I've never duplicated it. The crumb
topping was sugar, flour and ???

I do have the pot she used for pot roast and we do come close on that. She
used rump roast and would beat it with a rolling pin before cooking it.
Then there are the pierogis.
