So um, like next time you go... take me :)

..you're invited!

Sweet!  Looks like you had a great time!  How often do you get to visit your family and friends in Poland?

...That was actually my first trip to Europe. I don't have any family that still lives there anymore, but now I have some freinds...Some cool kids who are studying to be english teachers at the Teachers College in Chelm, Poland...And a couple of Polish freinds I met at a pub in Ireland who took us on a Sunday drive through the mountains...

I have a really stupid question... What is a perogi? I think I saw something on Food Network about them...aren't they like a pasta shell with some kind of meat?   Again, it is a dumb question - but I'm curious.... And you look stellar and like you had a lot of fun

Thanks, there was a lot of fun had on that trip... A pierogi is similar to a ravioli or potsticker. The shell is more like the texture of a dumpling then pasta though. It can be filled with anything. My favorites are potato and cheese, ground meat, and saurkrout. They can be served boiled or seared or sauteed, and are really good with carmelized onions on top and sour cream on the side. They are a comfort food for me!

MMMM!!! YUMMY!! I'm coming over for dinner!
