Let's Make Perogies

Okay, so every year at Easter and Christmas my husband looks forward to perogies. He grew up eating them and loves them. They are like dumplings, filled with potatoes and cheese. We boil them, then fry them up with salt pork, or bacon...and boy are they good!

Here are some pictures of us putting them together. Kirstie was such a great help and so much fun!

The mashed potatoes and cheese balls.

The pinched pockets.
Yes, I know, an apron! My grandma came out with them and before I knew she was going to put it on me, I was already turned around, and she was pulling it over my head!!! LOL, never argue with Grandma! ;o)

So, here we are, plucking along as best we could. Grandma over our shoulders yelling, "Good Show, Good Show!!!" and "You guys are doing so well!!!". T and I were very happy, and having lots of fun. Then it came...the baton was passed....I never saw it coming, but I suppose I should have! All of a sudden I hear it, grandma says: "Okay! Easter, YOU, will make the perogies!" I was in shock, what, me, make perogies? I've never done it before. I try to argue with her - speake some reason into her mind..."Grandma, you make them so well. We love your perogies." I know, I know, don't ever argue with the Grandma! Then she says, "Eeeehhhh, you need the practice!". So, there you have it - I now am the perogie maker...pleasse pray for me!

I hope you all have a wonderful, fun, safe, memory filled Christmas and New Year!

Blessings!
