  So what do us crazy Canucks do when it is too cold outside -32 degress celcius. -25 F. U.S. language.

  We do indoor activities like making perogies. Today we have peeled 20 pounds of potatoes, shredded six pounds of cheddar cheese, and have made the dough out of 24 cups of flour, 6 containers of sour cream, etc.

  Geez what the hell are we thinking we'll be pinching (and of course drinking alcoholic beverages to get through this) into the wee hours of the morning, but we'll have dozens and dozens of them. Naturally we're not doing this alone, another couple we've made friends with since we've left the borg are joining us in this perogy making spree.

  My husband wants to go out and buy a Honky Bills perogy maker. I told him no way we'll do it the old fashioned way, the way my babas (grandmothers) would do it.

  Hey Outlaw exactly the way we like them. Yum Yum

  Hi Shutterbug, its a good old ukrainian recipe. You roll out the dough and cut into circles, you put a bit of the potato mixture on the dough circle, fold it over and pinche the edges shut. You boil them until they float to the top of the surface of water. Then you transfer them to a pan of fried onions and butter and saute them for a while. you serve them with sour cream on top. They truly are very yummy.

  Something we'll have to introduce to you Americans at a good old Canadian Apostafest.

  Tashawaa, yes we could use some awsome pinchers. Our house is always open for friends.

  I don't know how well our hubby's will hold up, but hopefully if we pump them with enough liquid refreshment, they're pinching fingers won't give out on them.

  I'm going to have to get off this board soon as the perogy making spree starts at 2:30 p.m.
