We had cabbage rolls (to those of you with Eastern European, holubschi) and perogies (again, pyrohy). Wish us Finns could make tasty morsels like that, but alas, we are stuck with delicacies such as fish head soup (kalamojakka) :(
Tonight was "international night" at our house. International is just a nice way of saying leftovers ;) I pan fried potatos and added homeade chili to the top and grated cheese melted ontop. Easy peasy and hubs was happt :)
leftover greek meat sauce mmm
DQ blizzard for dessert (smarties/oreo/hot fudge)
I'm Ukrainian, so obviously love pyrohy and holubtsi (cool that you know those words!). Just did a google tour of Finnish recipes - some sound just yummy!Quote:

But you know, my teen son worked a few summers at the Norwegian Folkfest pavilion here in the summers, and totally fell in love with herring and onion on rye bread, so I know he wouldn't be averse to trying herring sauce (he loves all types of fish).
You know what, I'm GOING to make that sauce this Christmas!!!
Well...it was going to be whatever DH felt like making when he got home from work tonight (its been one of THOSE days)...but he's off the hook, since the world's greatest neighbour just dropped off a casserole for us! The only downer is that it means pasta for the third night in a row. Lol.
The continuation of box week in an attempt to empty the freezer a bit. Mini chickenpot pies, stouffers BBQ chicken and Bistro Fusilli. LOL I had the 1 remaining hamburger from the BBQ.
Mini teriyaki steaks with warm buttered mashed jacket :lolsign: potatoes (sweet potatoes ;) )
Soup and hotdogs. Sheesh!
After walking around the farmers market and sampling ;) it was wonderful to come home to homade split pea with ham soup Mmmmm.... I love this stuff!
Tacos!
Going out to an Italian Dinner with the girlfriends... woo!
