I've already sent you some REAL Polish smoked kielbasa and walked you thru making kapusta so you've had some samples. ;)
I haven't made homemade pierogies in years but there's a bunch of places around here that make really good ones. Actually there's quite a few traditional foods that I just don't make, so maybe we can go to a restaurant like this...here's their menu, anything sound appealing?
