HOLIDAY COOKING

I love finding new recipes for old world cooking. The holidays seem an especially good excuse to exercise new skills.
Christmas Eve offered a dinner of homemade pierogis smothered in butter and caramelized onions.
Filled with cheddar mashed potatoes they were fairly easy but had their own complications. The beater sure didn't like the potato mixture.
For Christmas I got a little braver, attempting Slovak Nut Rolls.
If the dough had raised better, I think they would be better. Still, the dough is quite tasty. Someday I will conquer yeast!
Being a roll-up, the walnut topping/filling was chunkier than it ought to have been but that is an easy correction for the future.
All in all, a delicious weekend!
