My grandma made pierogies for her, mom and me. The three of us could eat a triple batch and I have heard stories how great-grandma would make enough to feed the entire family. It was never a holiday thing. We called them puddaha (that is phonetic, I have no idea how to spell it-help from anyone?) and the filling was a dry cottage cheese mixed with egg. She boiled them and then scooped them out of the water and into a pan of butter. Yum! Now, she will sometimes make up a batch and freeze them for me to take home and cook at will. Bobalki is our holiday treat. Every holiday meal, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter must have bobalki. I know I can Google it, but what's Bobalki? ~ MaryJane
