In 2002, I got together with my Aunt Sharon, my cousins, Kathy & Deanna, my sister and my Aunt Helen to make tons of pierogis, and to get the family recipe from the last of the original Krawiec siblings. There was lots of wine involved and my Aunt Helen was VERY entertaining as usual! There we all sat at the kitchen table, pen and paper in hand waiting for the famous pierogi recipe, and as luck would have it, Aunt Helen, like all the rest of the Krawiec women, rarely measured anything out! So, as Aunt Helen would add a "dash" of this, or a "cup" of that, we would have to break out the REAL measuring utensils to try to get the correct measurements! Many laughs and glasses of wine later, we all managed to go home with plenty of pierogi's to freeze.
Since I usually cook for just me, I rely on good old Mrs. T's frozen Pierogis. I still made sauteed onions to top them off as well as a cheese sauce. But, truth be told, I yearn for those "olden" days!
