I recently started waiting tables at a high-end restaurant out here where I work my real job..and the chick that owns the restaurant is a patient of mine.
she called this morning to say she chipped her tooth and needs an appointment. I asked her if she'd like the doctor to meet her out here this afternoon (he works in another part of town on mon&fri) because he will accommodate her in any way...anyone really. she insisted on coming tomorrow instead.
five minutes ago one of my managers from the restaurant comes in with two boxes of southern fried food including chicken, shrimp and grits, squash casserole, carolina red rice and mac and cheese, butterbeans...all for me.
haha...what?!
I think I'm pretty lucky

sounds like you have a delicious afternoon ahead of you! meanwhile, with job transitions I've had to stretch 1 week of pay over almost a month, and my broke ass is having some water for lunch!

noodle pocket similar to ravioli that's usually full of mashed potato and cheese and whatever else you would want to put in them, they're delicious~

*I* make awesome pierogi too - I make em for pot lucks at work and everyone looks forward to them and eats them up fast lol. My mom taught me how to make them and she learned from her mom and so on and so on. Here's my recipe so you guys can make them and enjoy. They go well with sour cream too!
The dough:
3 cups all purpose flour
1 large egg
1/2 cup hot water
1 melted stick of margarine
Combine and knead until smooth and not sticky. You may have to add a lil flour until its just right
have your counter completely cleaned off and santized
sprinkle some flour on the counter and pinch off pieces of dough and roll into a ball
use a rolling pin and roll out circles of dough about the size of your palm or hand, however big you want em.
In the meantime, get a big ole stockpot of water boiling on the stove
the filling:
Anything you want!! My favorite and the most common are to take mashed potatoes and add cheeses to it. I like to throw garlic in it too
Mmm cheesy garlic mashed potato filling.
Take a spoon and plop some of the filling onto the dough
Fold in half over the filling and seal with a fork around the edges on both sides.
Boil in the water until they float then throw em in a strainer
Take a bowl of melted butter or margarine and dip them just once in butter
Fry on a frying pan, add seasoning if you want but not needed at all.
Put a dollop of sour cream on your plate and dig in!!

the premade ones just aren't very good anyway. they use instant potatoes and it shows. >< my dough recipe is pretty much just like jenny's

well really I don't think you would want to season the dough.. I mean you could as long as it doesn't change the consistency, but it would be like seasoning a homemade pasta. You can, but there isn't much point to it because that's not where the focal point of the taste comes from. I would keep the dough simple and put the punch in the filling, personally

You have to boil them before frying them in butter. I never deep fry anything, that's gross. A lil margarine goes a long way. I like mine soft yet a lil crispy on the edges.
Janet- get creative with the filling. I've heard of people putting blueberries in them or saurkraut. My mom puts cottage cheese in them too. Just don't mess with the dough like Ash said.

and OMG dont boil them! frying or baking is teh best. I have even saute'd them in some butter yum.
no these are not the health concious way of preparing them
frying perogy is blasphemy
and fruit/dessert perogy can be awesome
I've actually made breakfast ones that turned out pretty good
potato, cheese, little egg, some bacon

you make your dough quite a bit different than how we do
we start with 3 cups of slightly warm water, then add the egg, a table spoon of butter/margarine then the flour
when making the individual wrappers, I find it easier to just roll out a big spread of the dough, then use a cup, or similar like a cookie cutter to cut out consistent sized circles
So they're pretty much the same as potstickers only cooked a little different (and with different fillings)...
