Just got done yesterday making 260 sauerkraut pierogies for xmas and now 6:30am Went into the cabinet to get the flour to start making potato pierogies and my husband bought me the wrong flour - Bread flour! I am freaking out because I usually start at 4:30 in the morning cause I need to make at least 400 potato . my son invites everyone on xmas eve dinner to have pierogies (at present 28 people are coming). Its madness HA HA I try to keep it quiet so no one knows I am making them or I start getting phone calls cause everybody wants them but nobody wants to make them.
My only hope is my 8 yr old grandson. He has been learning for the last 3 yrs and is actually getting good at it!
My father n law is polish and there has always been the tradition in his household to have pierogies on Easter. He buys them from a polish bakery in Bridgeport, CT. The story goes, he and his wife tried to make them using his mother's recipe and it was a total disaster and never again. I made them using the same recipe as a surprise and he was very touched. These are a lot of work so I will be thinking of you! Elisabeth
