Pierogies

I like Pierogies. Last night I got a hankering for some tasty fluffs of potato and onion wrapped in a delectable pasta shell. Thank you Mary Twardzik! There are some days when I know what I want for dinner and other days when I wind my way up and down the aisles of the grocery store until I get that hankering. Last night was the latter. Dangerous, I know. One must be careful trekking to the grocery store while hungry. But two things forced me to go:
  1. The only food I consumed in Recession Vegas came from a buffet line or a box labeled "Ellio's"

  2. I needed milk for my Golden Grahams in the morning
So I had to go, and am glad I did. I walked out with a quart of milk, a bag of broccoli and a box of Mrs. T's Potato and Onion Pierogies. Glorious.

  1. Mmm...pierogies.

    Check out this 92-pound behemoth at the annual Pierogi Festival in Whiting, Indiana.

  2. There are some mean homemade pierogies in East Baltimore. Check out the little Polish gift shop on Chester Street between Eastern + Bank. The guy that runs the store is also an amazing cook. If you go, ask him if he's got any Paczki (pronounced punch-key), too. They take years off your life, but damn, they're good.

  3. Dear God, that is one HUGE pierogi!

    I am definitely going to check out the Baltimore shop. The years taken off my life are probably worth it!

  4. Andy- You need to get some more authentic pierogies! I think the leads above sound fantastic. Worse comes to worse, next time I make some you will have to come over!

  6. Then you need to come down to the Brickskellar for some of their Pierogies before they close. Perhaps on Saturday. Keep that in mind...
