Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

OMG- I only heard of the fruit ones. Family makes the potato/cheese, krout and meat. Grandma would stand for hours rolling potato balls then rolling out the dough. She would fill a large bowl with butter and onions and put it on the counter then start boiling the perogies in batches. After each batch, she would dump them in the butter/onions bowl and return to the pot for the next batch boiling. I would sit on the far side of the counter out of site and reach my hand up to the counter and into the bowl then my mouth over and over. Of course it was our game as there would be a butter path from the bowl, on the counter and floor to my mouth but she played it every time until I was stuffed!
Ya, they're the best right out of the pot & into the butter.

My whole life is a comedy of errors for sure. No, I don't write them but i have a few friends that tell me all the time I should and of course I am a comedian by nature, lightens the mood. Everyone has things happen to them, everyone makes mistakes, you just deal with them and move through it.
My mom was the genealogist of the family. Spent many years researching (and this was before the internet) and talking to generations of family members. She finally got everything pulled together & published 2 different books, one on her father's family history and the other on her mother's side. The best parts of the books are from letters & face-to-face conversations she have with various family members, like great-great-aunts Stella & Nella (twins). I bet your family would love for you to record and pass down the stories you have to share.

then fry them the next day. I had some of my Aunt Sophie's last summer and she puts sour cream in the dough. Little different but really good. Nothing as good as grandma's though. That dough is so hard to make.

Gee Tree, all you have to do is ask!!
Gołąbki (pronounced go-womp-kee) is translated as pigeon. Although no pigeon is used in the recipe, the name could possibly be due to it's resemblance to the shape of pigeon breast. Legend has it that a king of Poland (Casimir IV Jagiellon) fed his army with golabki before a key battle in 1465 and the subsequent victory was credited to this hearty meal beforehand. Personally I feel like sleeping after a big meal but maybe there was some secret ingredient in the ancient version that 'gave the soldiers wings' (pun intended).

Golabki is basically boiled cabbage leaves stuffed with minced meat (traditionally beef but also pork/chicken/turkey), onion and rice (or buckwheat groats/kasia). The cabbage rolls are served with a rich tomato based sauce in which the golabki is cooked.
When I first tasted this, I immediately changed my favourite Polish dish from Bigos to this. Although now I think of both dishes equally as my favourite.

I actually started some from my dad's side. He is the second oldest of 11 sisters 2 other brothers. He moved out when he was 16 due to father issues. His youngest sister was born when he was 18 and already gone to army. His mother died when I was 3. I am the oldest grandchild on both sides and only one she every met. Waited to pass until dad flew us out there to say goodbye. We grew up knowing one brother and two sisters so over the last couple of years I have been getting to know all the cousins and aunts I didn't know growing up. We put pictures together of our kids and theirs to see the similarities etc. Very interesting. Even little things like my grandmother and I were born on the same day and I was 2 month premature, and my dad's wedding year and hers' were numbers reversed etc. I love that stuff.

How did your day go? as busy as you thought????
Yes, it was, but everyone had a wonderful time. About 200 people showed up. We had tables set up in the courtyard for agencies to hand out information, then the activity room and library were used for blood pressure, cholesteral, balance, etc. testing. We had the courtyard decorated so it looked quite festive.

We also served box lunches from the kitchen next door. They make the BEST food. It's all Glatt Kosher and the set up is unreal. They even have a flash freeze machine because they send food to 6 other senior centers in the city as well as to home-bound seniors.

But I'll tell you, at 1 PM, when we closed it all out, I crashed. The adreniline had been pumping for three days while we pulled all the final details together, and then WHAM, it was over and we were all exhausted. I left, as usual, at 3 PM, and everyone was kind of sitting around, congratulating each other, but not having the energy to move.

My "boss" was so thrilled at how well it all went, she's already thinking about next year's health fair. All I'm thinking about is bed. bounce

Hey...you must have stolen my recipe. we put just a little sour cream in the dough too....it makes the dough lighter & tender. And we also fry them the next day too. We must have come from the same side of town.

Sophie is the only one to do that and she lives in NY so not sure if she got it there as I see you are in Chicago. First time I had it and was good, had that little tang and she said it made the dough alot easier to deal with too. So yummy
