Perogies!!!
Yesterday, I spent the afternoon making what J-Ho refers to as "The food of my people."
These would be perogies. Little Polish dumplings. The food kind, not to be confused with [a link to a picture of a cute Polish baby was formerly here] this sort of little Polish dumpling.
Pictures are here.
Yum.

Wow... home made! I LOVE periogies! My polish workmate introduced them to me at a Polish bar a couple of years ago... so so yummy! Especially when sprinked with deep fried lard! You must try it! :)
Funny!
As we were eating them yesterday, Jackie said: "mmm, they're even better with lard.. Just kidding!"
But looks like they actually ARE served with crispy lard goodness! YUM. I shall have to find me some lard..
I feel that I should step in - for the record - and claim the perogy for a wider range of eastern european/slavic cultures. not only poland, but also ukraine, and to some extent russia, lithuania, romania... anyway, germans can make their way around a dumpling or two too, or at least my kinda-german grandma can - she's famous for the sweet/savory "grandma's plum dumplings". mmmm. my mouth waters at the thought.
see wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierogi
also, in german, 'dumpling' kinda sounds like "cuddle".
