tonight, i made borscht and pirozhki. my pirozhki have three fillings, though i've only made two sets of pirozhki first... potato-cheese, cabbage-egg, mushroom sour cream.

yum.

and folks wonder why boy stays with such a tired, achy old lady.

i think i'll fill the rest of the pirozhki tomorrow.

Don't know about the cabbage egg (cabbage potato might be good, or is that the irish in me? But they sound wonderful. I've never been able to get a good dough recipe for pirozhki..how do you do a cabbage egg filling anyway....

cabbage potato is good, too. i make three basic fillings and then i often mix those together for individual pirozhki.

for cabbage egg, i saute some minced onion in some butter (btw, when i cook this food, it is NOT exactly health food, so i go alllll the way) until the onion is soft. then i toss in a bunch of shredded cabbage and more butter, as needed. if the cabbage isn't cooking evenly, i add some water and turn the heat down low. when it's done, i remove from the heat and mix in chopped, hardboiled egg(s).

i use a sour cream pastry dough. yeast is better, but sour cream is easier on my hands. ;)
