At work, they are having a potluck dinner based on foods of your heritage. I'm contributing varenyky. It's like a pierogi, a dumpling, an empanada, a knish...like many other things.Basically mashed potatoes and flour made into a dough, stuffed and cooked by boiling. (Hmm, how do they make ravioli?)

Typically, growing up, they were stuffed with mashed potatoes or sauerkraut. I'll add cheddar cheese shreds to the potato ones. And I think they were meant to be served warm, but I know I've eaten them ice cold before also.

I might eat a few of them for, uh, "quality control" before I place them into storage for tomorrow's potluck.

And since I won't be present when they're offered up, I'll include a description of the dish (and they asked for a recipe too). I'll include my advice about using instant mashed potatoes, getting the right texture out of the potatoes might be difficult otherwise.

I got some pelmeni from a local market that carries a lot of Russian and Polish food. I needed something easy for dinner and made them into soup. They were very good. It made me think about how different cultures all over the world have variations of the same thing. Dumplings are filling and inexpensive. Pierogi, ravioli, pelmeni, wontons, empanadas ...

Good stuff!

Tonight's dinner is bean soup. I got a bean mix from that same market, as well as some Ukrainian sausage. I don't know what makes it Ukrainian, but this place had a few dozen different sausages, so I just picked one. We already used half of it in scrambled eggs on Mother's Day, and the rest of it is going in the soup. The beans are simmering in broth in the crock pot, and I will fry up the sausage with some onions and celery in a little while.

I am making some spaghetti sauce this morning and letting it simmer all day for our dinner tonight. I always make a ton so I can freeze it in portions for quick but good dinners for future nights. I like my noodles freshly cooked so I only freeze the sauce. We'll have fresh veggies for dipping on the side and garlic toast.

Those sound really good, Tkramar.

Cyn, I do the same exact thing.. and pasta is so easy to cook I don't understand why anybody would freeze it.

Tonight's dinner is pulled chicken soft tacos from the bbq'd drumsticks we made yesterday.

cooked & stored a whole chicken this weekend -- you can buy one of those bad boys for about $4 on sale. i stuck an open can of Pabst Blue Ribbon inside of him, stood him upright, and baked him in a covered pot. (when he tips over he's ready -- AKA drunk chicken)

using half the meat tonight, for chicken divan.

going to use the other half tomorrow, for red chicken stew. my grandma could cook a mean red chicken stew, but i've never tried it before. i see some strange recipes, but the kind I like has chopped hard-boiled eggs, chicken, okra, tabasco, worchestershire, tomato paste, green onions, etc., over white rice.

Chicken and dumpling in the crock pot. I want to make something else to go with it, maybe just a fruit salad?
