on the eve of the games i swore: if małysz wins a medal in ski jumping i will make pierogi (not pierogies) for everybody. he got a silver and i happily bought all the necessary ingriedients in "polonia sausage house" and started making probably the most known polish dish in north america.
oh, and just to add a little tongue-in-cheek, i need to remphazise this over and over again, that małysz won the medal for poland before any canadian athlete owned the podium. this is especially significant in the light of how canada dominated during this olympics. not in ski jumping, eh? :-) enjoy observing the process:
the flour + 2 yolks!
some serious kneading..
..and rolling..
this should be thin enough!
the proper filling.. no cheddar, please!
ready to cook.
ready to serve!
proud presentation.. lara felt the polish spirit too (look at that scarf)! and even though she didn't want to admit she was a little jealous and perhaps upset that the pole came before the austrian.. :-)
tada!
