A friend bought us some food items (imported from Poland) from a local store for us to try. We have not tasted everything yet (the cabbage and beat salad sounds um, interesting), but I can tell you that the chocolate was delicious! I think the Strawberry Cream Filled Chocolate and the Hazelnut bars were the favorites here, but they were all pretty good. All of these items came from Big Lots, so if you have a store near you, maybe you can try them too.

I also tried my hand at making home made pierogies this week. Store bought pierogies are not my favorite dish, and I was not thrilled with the flavor of eating even the home made ones after I boiled them. The filling is delicious though, and as recommended in the
recipe, I did try frying them in a little olive oil and dipping them in sour cream. They are definitely good that way - isn't everything better fried? And since I used olive oil for frying them, you know they are healthy, right?! :-)
(I know these are not the prettiest pictures: I was trying to get dinner on the table and just snapped a couple quickly,
without spending a lot of time on getting the right angle, lighting, etc.)
