Sometimes we put aside our Dutch roots to be Ukrainian for a day

And March 15th was that day

the day of the Perogies

there's is nothing like good ol' homemade perogies

Ruth Dutchak was kind enough to teach us her secret Ukrainian family recipe that she learned when marrying Ernie

there was a rule with these Dutchak's

"If you marry my son you must first learn to make perogies"

I requested to be taught as my wedding gift when I married as well and Ruth was kind enough to share her secret and spend a day teaching us

so Ruth taught us Warner girls and I've never eaten a frozen perogie since - never will

so now it was Tara's turn to learn to make perogies

even dad got in on the action when we needed a dough rolling break

be prepared there is a great deal of flour floating around on perogie day, everything was covered

Here sit the perogies once the freezer was full

We made about 600 perogies, about 100 each to take home

for me that will last probably 6 months for others it will last 1, but either way I promise they are the worth an entire day's effort
