When I left work yesterday my boss suggested I take another day off after
last week's dental esperience...said I didn't look up to par. Who am I not
to take his advice? :-)

Wanting to keep busy, I embarked on a pierogy making expedition, which I
only do a couple of times a year. I ended up with 61 dozen of various
fillings; potato and cheese, potato and onion, fried sauerkraut, farmer's
cheese with a few white raisins, farmer's cheese with dill, fried cabbage
and onion, and prune. All were formed, filled, boiled, cooled, frozen
individually on lined cookie sheets, and bagged and labeled by type, except
for one of each type for each of us. Those were served with browned butter
to which a bit of chopped onion was added, along with sour cream on the
side and a cucumber and onion salad. This is such *great* diet food! :-)

Just so Barb doesn't wonder, they dough was cut into squares and the
pierogies were formed into triangles. The round ones just rub me the wrong
way. :-)

Those sound *wonderful*, Wayne! I've never made pierogies before, but when I
prepare the frozen ones from the supermarket, I usually do them the same way
you did yours tonight (with the browned butter, onion, and sour cream).

Any pics to post on a.b.f.?

Sixty one dozen? Will that many even fit into a home freezer?

We had "eaten down" a lot of things that were in our separate upright
freezer, so it seemed a good time to do this. They definitely would not
fit in the freezer section of our fridge.

Yeah, you pretty much have to devote a day to it. I think most people who
make them make a fair number at a time and not that often.

Bubba would be proud of you. Barb will probably be proud of me. :-)
Bottom line...shape "shouldn't" make a difference, but somehow is does to
some folks. One think about cutting them square for triangles, is there is
less waste to reroll.

Yep, that's what I used to do when I lived in the
pierogi desert of Southern Calif. I made them once
a year. And made many dozens. There was my mother,
sister, bil, and a friend or two and we made an assembly
line and cranked them out. Then we had some for dinner
and then gave everyone some to take home.

Luckily I now am back in pierogi country - Pittsburgh -
and can buy them lots of places. It used to be just
the churches that made them and sold them but now
there are at least 2 commerial places where you can
get them any day of the week, all year long. Hurray for
that!

I have the same sort of situation with tamales here in
Pittsburgh, good ones are few and far between, although
there are some. So about once every year or two I go
bonkers and make dozens and dozens and freeze them.

What a nice boss. More bosses should be so compassionate. It's not like you
were contagious and about to infect everyone.

I was only sent home once in all the I worked. Hell, I remember once when I was
working part time in a department store feeling something awful coming on,
which turned out to be food poisoning from the meal I ate in the store
restaurant. They wouldn't let me leave early.

One day during the summer before I retired, I started feeling dizzy. I had
fallen in the shower that morning, which was probably because I had a short
dizzy spell. It got so bad that I went home. As soon as I got home I was fine,
so I went to work the next morning and we had a meeting at the office. We all
stopped for a coffee on the way to the office and while walking across the
parking lot I had another spell and was stumbling around like a drunk, but I
got over it. When I got to the office the boss asked me how I was doing and I
said "Fine" and while we were talking I suddenly ran down to the washroom and
threw up. He sent me home.

I used to buy pierogies and strudels at the various churches when I lived
in Cleveland, and stuffed grape leaves at the Greek festivals the Orthodox
churches held. That simply diesn't exist out here in the desert. However,
I can get a good tamale or other Mexican homemade goodies almost anywhere.

I usually buy Mrs. T's, which is OK for store bought, IMO. (Homemade
pierogies are *much* better, of course.)

Mrs. T's seems to be one of the few commercial brands available. I saw
another brand recently which offered more variety of fillings, but didn't
take note of the name, since I knew I was going to be making some. I'll
have to look again. I had not seen it before. These were packaged in a
transparent bag and did look better than Mrs. T's.

Yes, I have a great boss. He rules with a velvet hand, is kind and
considerate. He knows his staff and understands them. His bottom line is
being kept informed, as needed, on anything that isn't on timeline or has
problems. Apart from that, he prefers that we manage our own time and
projects and take responsibility. Pretty simple, really. Too bad more
bosses aren't like that.

I'm so jealous. I just love the days where I can cook all day.
Sounds like you made some delicious perogies. I'll take them
triangular or round, any way I can get them I'm not picky.

Now go buy the damn camera battery ;-)

I really do enjoy spending an entire day cooking or baking. I find it so
relaxing, not to mention enjoyable. And, yes, the pierogies were
delicious!

I have to order the damned thing. I plan to do that this weekend, though I
don't fancy myself at being a very good food photographer.

inasmuch as my efforts to persuade barb to run away with me have been
met with a notable lack of success, store-bought may have to do. i'll
keep an eye out for them.

I have tried several different frozen brand and
none of them are decent - not even the ones from
Trader Joe's. Mrs. T's are abominable. There was
another brand called Baker's I think there were also
awful. I did find one brand once that weren't too
bad but they were not frozen. There were in the
refrigerator case where you get sausages and other
things like that. I forget the name. I haven't
run across them in years. I've noticed that Giant
Eagle has some refrigerated ones in their deli
section that I'm tempted to try to see if they're
any good.

Please not to mention the evil beets in the same
post as wonderful pierogi.

LOL! Think of the possibilities, Kate... Chopped Beet Pierogi, Pickled
Beet Peirogi, Harvard Beet Pierogi. The possibilities are almost endless.
