Who of you have met?

Ukrainian or Polish? My Ukrainian Grandma came from a Polish family...she married up, or down, or something. They had to get married twice because Polish Catholic churches are so very different from Ukrainian (Greek) Orthodox. Very odd.
What I always hated was the fresh perogies that had just been boiled. That was always lunch on the Ukrainian side of my family, and supper too.
If you really want good perogies, fry a pound of bacon, then fry diced onions and garlic in the bacon grease. Cut the bacon up into little pieces and toss it back into the bacon grease. Put the perogies in a roaster, adding some of the grease/onion/garlic/bacon between each layer. Bake at 350 until the top layer is lightly browned. Those are the best perogies on earth.
I learned how to do that from my Irish Grandma...the Ukrainian/Polish Grandma considered it akin to blasphemy.
mmmmmmm that sounds awesome Rev I have 3 kids that would be your friend for life if you made them that :lol:
I like fireworks! Have you ever seen a cat in a car? I brought my cat with me in the car and i just couldn't stop laughing all he did was bob his head up and down trying to look at everything at the same time! You'd have to see it to beleive it!

Sounds like my Jack Russell ... bounces off every window like a pinball. One of these days I'm going to end up running over someone in the tank I drive thanks to her antics! She especially hates joggers ... attacks the windows, slobbering and snarling, whenever one runs by. Of course if they came over to the truck she'd hide under the seat ...
I did the cat in the car thing once. Had a little Austin Healy Sprite convertible, back in the day, and was moving from the Island to the Mainland. My cat had 5 kittens, just old enough to get out of the box. I was trying to drive through downtown Vancouver, keep kittens in the box, and remove the mother cat's claws from my back all at the same time. After that, it was tranqs for the cats all the way!

Waffles go with ice cream. Perogys are gross, but an Irish Grandma would know how to make em. Love the Irish.
Also funny was the Jack Russell Terrorist being a pinball. I (truly) wanted to name the one I had Pinball. Honest to god.

Re: RE: Who of you have met?
MMMM .... waffles. Never tried them with ice cream, but now I will. And whipping cream. I bought one of those whipping cream thingys that you put gas into and voila ... out pops whipped cream! I love it. Now I have whipped cream on everything. Can't believe I didn't think about waffles!
Rev ... Shell makes killer perogies too. I grew up with Romanian cooking. My aunt makes dill pickles, saurkraut and perogies ... so delicious I am almost willing to brave a family visit to get my fangs on them!! It's a good thing my Dad's side of the family can cook ... my Mom's Irish/Dutch side doesn't do so well.
:lol: :lol: :lol: Perfect name for a JR!! You no longer have him/her? I can't imagine life without mine. That's her in my avatar ... she's a lot like Peapod, only shorter and less articulate. I think that's why I love Moche!GreenGreta said:

Mmm...homemade sauerkraut. That's always good. I'm not sure how sanitary it is, but it sure is yummy. The best thing is when you fry it with eggs and kolbasa for breakfast.
I also miss headcheese and home made horseradish.
Also, my great uncles used to make homebrew that was so sneaky that you thought you were sober until you tried to stand up. You've never driven a tractor until you've tried it on a head full of that stuff. When 3 miles an hour is too fast, you know you had fun. ;-)

:lol: :lol: :lol: I grew up on real live moonshine. Had the same effect ... you thought you were fine till you stood up and ended up flat on your face. Of all the boozing I did, that is the one drink I kinda miss. 
Homemade saurkraut isn't sanitary???? Don't tell me that! I just found out I'm a tad nuts and am off to see a shrink about a germ phobia I've developed in terms of food. I figured anything in that acidic and salty had to be safe. *sigh* Pretty soon I'll be down to eating nothing I can't cook in my own kitchen. Thank god for shrinks. I'm not entirely thrilled about cooking.
My dad used to make headcheese ... we always got a full pig each year and he would make headcheese right from the actual head of the pig. Always grossed me out. The damn stuff smelled so delicious ... all garlicky, but could never get past the texture or the memory of the dead pig staring at my Dad chopping the meat off. My Mom makes this killer homemade mustard with horseradish in it. Hotter than hell, but yummy! I guess I ought to get her recipe before she shuffles off this mortal coil.

Back to waffles for a second.
Get a waffle, the scoop of ice cream, then you crumble one of the chocolate bars called FLAKE (from Ireland, England, whatever) all over top. OH YA.... I think its called a 99 or something.

Hey, it never killed me. Or you either, for that matter. If sauerkraut killed, there would be no people between France and China and much of Canada would still be populated by our first nations people.
Oh yeah. It never stopped me from eating it though.
When you get the recipe, send it to me, pretty, pretty puleeeze.
Yes, get the recipe for the horseradish thing. Trust me, your mom may die before you get it, mine did. Damned shortbread again.
Headcheese is gross. Now some nice ox tongue, nummy.
