This may be the only evidence that even comes close to proving that there is a God, and that He loves us.

Are you guys telling me you don't plan it this way? Time management is kinda a big thing in cooking.

How can you dis pierogi honestly? It's like a perfect food.

[Anonymous No.9270428]

>>9270417
For starters, real pierogi have cabbage, mushroom, and potato along with a few other surprises. Second, you're supposed to brown them a bit. The best strategy is to throw three pierogi in a pan with a pat of butter and about a quarter cup of water, along with your ham/bacon and onions. Then blast the thing on high heat and once the pierogi brown everything should be done.

Completely optional. My grandmother would beat you with a spoon if you suggested this in her presence.

[Anonymous No.9270481]

My grandmother took the pierogies out of the freezer and put them in the microwave

:(

[Anonymous No.9270488]

>>9270474
If eaten at a big table with other mains, boiled is best. However, if you're making a quick lunch with pierogi as the main, a quick fry is essential.

Slow braising some meat with the bone in and when it's done the bone just easily pulls out or the meat falls off it.
