Oh my gosh! Friday food from my childhood! We are so lucky now with a multitude of recipes and ingredients to choose from. My mom's cooking was so boring, but we didn't know any different so we were thrilled when we had Chef Boyardee spaghetti. I never had any real "foreign" food until I married my husband who is of Polish descent. That was a totally unexpected wonderful experience! We have been married 50+ years and I make his favorite dishes on occasion. My son requested a "Polish feast" for his birthday, so I made and froze pierogis, cabbage soup and stuffed cabbage rolls for him. He was thrilled. As my granddaughter said, "It's a tradition".
