Thank you for sharing this. I am not Eastern European (I am Italian/Irish), but I had the great blessing of growing up with many children of your ethnicity. Their mothers *always* were very hospitable and kind, although they put up with no nonsense. No matter how many extra kids were around (and there always were extras), there was always enough to feed everyone. I remember, during Lent, one friend, whose mother had 7 children and a husband to feed on one Goodyear factory paycheck, would make a sheet of bread dough topped with mashed potatoes, sautéed onions, and a little cheese, all baked together - sort of pierogi filling on bread. And yes, there is *nothing* like homemade pierogies! Economical and filling, but oh my, it was so good, and we kids loved it. Such good memories! God bless you and all your Eastern European brothers and sisters!

It is a little challenging at times but it is FAR better than living in a full out office building.Fr.
