“One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. 'Oh, no!', I said, 'Disneyland burned down.' He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.”

Like it's a question? Fried, of course. With sour cream.

I will give you my grandmother's tried and true cooking method...pierogi are place in a nonstick pan, add about an inch of water...they should be sticking out of the top of the water, and steam on high heat until the water evaporates (if your peirogi are not already coated in copious amounts of butter, add some to the water) Once the water evaporates the pierogi will start to fry...flip them once the nice crispy crust has formed. Add fried onions, and bacon. Serve with sour cream and kalana, which is a high bush cranberry sauce. Serve and inhale.

Yeah...it really is. After my ex tried my grandma's for the first time, he came home with a really good nonstick frying pan and mastered her method. It's killing me that the next time I'm over at her place I can't have her pierogies...trying to go gluten free. Please weep for me.

I can't wrap my mind around all those negatives, so I will urge you to think positive!

Some prepped foods and sauces still have some gluten in them. You can also find gluten in Tamari. Strictly no gluten is really freakin' hard. But, I can at least still have carbs.
eta some interesting and useful tips if you are going to go gluten free (again...please weep for me...)

Duh, cuz she's a gluten for punishment!
Thursday: This morning, I say to my wife and my girls, the waffles we face are real. They will not go away. Cornmeal waffles, buckwheat waffles, pumpkin waffles, chicken'n'waffles. The waffles we face are serious and manifold.
I have been remembering this man with some real vigor over the past couple of days. He was a miserable stinker, although now that he has gone on to his reward I can't say what I really thought of him. But if I'm any judge of these things, I'll bet he's hotter than Squeat Mungry. DebVanD

I've never enjoyed these, mainly because I've always eaten the store-bought frozen ones. What are the fresh ones like.

the fresh pierogi dough is more like pot sticker dumplings in texture, while the frozen ones have a texture more like frozen ravioli
