Making Pelemeni

No... we didn't drop off the face of the earth... just the blogosphere :-)

So many other things have taken priority in our lives that keeping the blog up fell by the wayside. To bring you up to date, we're now 27 months post-adoption and all is well. Look for a more in depth "update" post soon.

In the mean time, tomorrow is Peter's 9th Birthday (or 11th if you still believe his paperwork). What did he want for his birthday meal you ask? Why, Pelemeni of course! So, tonight we are all in the kitchen singing songs from family camp at Scioto Hills while making homemade Pelemeni that we will cook and eat tomorrow.



For the uninitiated, Pelemeni are similar to ravioli except they are served in a thin broth instead of pasta sauce and topped with sour cream and dill. We recently came across a GREAT russian cooking blog called Traditional Russian Food and it has a good, step by step recipe for Pelemeni. It's not our first time, but the recipe is always helpful anyway.

Welcome back! Your photos of the pelemeni-making are great. I'm going to have to look up that cookbook. Thanks for the reference!

I'm looking forward to hearing more about how your family is doing. Take care, Sandy
