Pennsylvania, Proust, Polkas & Pierogi
I had some wontons leftover, and was also feeling a little homesick for Western PA. So I decided to try my hand at some pierogi.
The first time I ate pierogi was at a polka festival with my dear old roommate Teresa. She took me to a festival near her family's town. At the festival, there was the two of us, a couple young families, and an abundance of spry octegenarians who could boogie beer barrel style. Proust-like, that experience returns each time I eat a pierogie.
I digress. So, I made a box of instant cheddar mashed potatoes rather on the thickish side. And plopped a pile of potatoes on each wrapper.
I then fried them up in a little margarine (actually, I think a lot of margarine would have been more authentic!) and onions.
Even though they weren't quite authentic (faux pierogi, anyone?), I could've gleefully Pennsylvania Polka'd after the first bite.

I know this is from April, but I followed the link from today's post. Or the latest post. Whatever. The point is: I LOVE Pennsylvania Polka! It started in Scranton. So did I! :) I also love pierogi and a faux pierogi is better than no pierogi. We're actually big fans of them in Eastern PA too. :) Now I need to go have some.
