Olivetroad Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Okay - This is the o-fic-che-al thread to show my attempt to make those whatchamacallits they eat back east somewheres.1. Get receipe from clown on BMT - wife says: "are you sure it will be safe coming from them?"Please note glass of sweet tea on counter - just because this is some kind of east coast yankee dish does not mean I won't have my favorite drink within arms reach at all times.2. Try and talk wifey into making them - wife says: "you are out of luck sport - I am taking a nap". After much prayer and ponderin' I decide to make them myself - she will be pleased to see me in kitchen!3. Wait until she is snoring - get cat food Tuna out of cabinet to make pierogies cutter4. Feed to cats - I am not eatin' that (&%$.5. Wash can so as not to contaminate Pittsburg's finest food with fish smell6. Mix up dough stuff in wife's mixer - I like using power tools in the kitchen - rolling pin in background reminds me of past failures of mine to clean up after myself.7. Whip up filling - can't find onions - ask wifey - she yells: "go away - I am sleepin'!" I dig deeper in fridge. Hey! I found these green onions - I'll use them - sorry if you are a pierogieperfectionist and this is not allowed or sumpin.8. Wifey comes downstairs - Wife says: You and your loud kids woke me up - I am going into town to do some shopping. You can watch the already born kids - I'll take the unborn one with me. Now I hope you are sitting down while you are reading this - what I am about to say is the honest truth, I AM NOT KIDDING: Wifey then says magical words that I had to have her repeat to be sure I heard them right: "Come with me into the bathroom, I want you to check and see what size bra I need to buy."___________________________INTERMISSION____________________________________9. Return to food thoughts........... I knead the dough - put in ice box to chill. Now I better go change out of church clothes before I do any cookin that involves heat - if I burn my best britches, I won't get to do no more bra testin'.More to follow................ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I've eaten pierogies before but don't recall going through all this before opening the box. I guess folks from the "Show Me" state take their motto seriously.My Wife let me check her bra size once and only once. I didn't know she just wanted me to read the tag.

Been living in the area 20 years this summer and was never quite sure who the term applied to.A bit a differnt culture here. There are foods that are staples at buffets and get togethers that I had never heard of and many people have last names with multiple consecutive consonents.

Spent alot of time walking around Minsk and everywhere you look there were beautiful women dressed to the nines. Most are pretty pale,but they are slavic after all. My cousins Svetlana and Oxonna with their Dad Vilodia at his home in Moledechno. I gave him a company hat for advertisment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
