12/23: comfort food

Tonight's dinner: pierogi casserole. I'm Polish but didn't grow up eating pierogis, except at friends' houses. One of my parents' former students brought my family pierogi casserole once, though, and ever since I've lived on my own, I've enjoyed making it now and then. Chris likes it, too, and today we tinkered with our normal recipe (which is more of a feel than a recipe), and we enjoyed the results.

I associate pierogis with Russia. There's a significant Russian community in San Francisco - where we lived for 11 years - and we ate a lot of them then. Yum!

Yum indeed! I'm not patient enough to make the dough for individual pierogis, so the casserole is a welcome short-cut.
