This Christmas, I had a taste for good old-fashioned Polish food, like we use to partake of at Polish weddings and after funeral dinners in Chicago. Got some fresh polish sausage, sauerkraut, potato/cheese pierogis, sauerkraut and some good Polish rye bread....REAL bread with no preservatives, super tasty. Ordered the sausage from the famous Bobak’s Meat Suppliers, on Archer Avenue in Chicago....they are the best! Got the rest of the goodies from the local Polish Deli that carries the home-made pierogis and the Polish rye bread. Such good eating, and a flood of memories of when we were young and our families were intact, when life was simpler and, dear God, how I wish to time travel back again once more before I die. PS everyone, be sure to lightly brown the pierogis in butter and onions before serving.

Very lightly. I don't like them sauteed hard, which is easy to do.

Told my Polish wife on many occasions the crowning touch for pierogies would be a meat marinara sauce. :^)

Stood in line at our Polish butcher (Schrodek) for 45 minutes here in Detroit area, both fresh and smoked.

Did not get the pierogi though, which we usually do.

Going to have to make golummki this week.
