Happy Earth Day! Today means a lot of exciting things for the world. For instance there is the World People's Conference on Climate Change, being held in Cochabamba, Bolivia where people are brainstorming ways to keep this planet alive and well. Earth Day also means that Procession of the Species is right around the corner, which for any of you who don't know is one of the most liveliest events in Olympia, held in celebration of the diversity of life on Earth. There are many ways we can make an impact bettering the world, one of which is to choose to support local businesses and local agriculture. It's important to take care of one another and grow together as a community in tune with the needs of the planet, which is something we strive to do at Oly Piroshki.

Delicious Eastern European food til 4pm

Wow! What a beautiful day it is outside. A fantastic day to stroll around the Westside of Olympia and grab a bit of Eastern European food! Where else could you acquire such a great treat beside Oly Piroshki? The kitchen is smelling alluringly delicious and we just took a fresh batch out of the oven. And today there are only five precious hours to come on by the piroshki stand since we shall be closing at 4pm. Believe me, if I could run the stand single handedly, I would, but for now we are missing a wonderful cook to cover the 4pm-7pm piroshki needs of Olympia, WA. So as we find the perfect cook to join our family, we have to close up for the latter part of the day. Tomorrow, Saturday, we shall be operating our usual 12pm-7pm hours, so if you can't catch us today, come by tomorrow. For the menu today-

The Best Tripe Soup

Well, well, well. Here we are again on a spectacular Saturday afternoon. The adventures of Oly Piroshki continue, and for anyone who has any sort of high-volume kitchen experience, you know what I mean by adventure. Preparing food to be ready by a certain time is a high art; there are always more variables than you could possibly have accounted for. Whether it's the oven light going off, or running out of potatoes because your batch of 10 lbs decided to do a flip-flop out of the fridge, it's high fun! But no worries, we're open with some delicious fare. We finally have a terrifically tasty tripe soup, that we've been working to get to you. And it's here! Come try it out. We also have an especially delicious cabbage mushroom today. Nom, nom, nom!

Potatoes and Kraut

MMmmmMM! I just had a spoonful of potato with sauerkraut and mustard and boy is it good! It's something we'll be using today in our version of pig in a blanket. We chopped up some Bavarian franks we bought from Stewart's Meats and are nestling them in the most mouth-watering potato sauerkraut mustardy mix you can imagine. And we do have the vegetarians in mind too, so for all of you lovely folk, we'll leave the franks out of the equation. Oh and I did something really exciting yesterday! Made my own mayo for the ol-livye salad. Wow, did that take a long time, but way worth it. Well, let's get to the menu portion of the day :)

Happy Bites

Another delicious day at the Oly Piroshki stand is being brought to you today, or perhaps you're coming to us. Which leads me to just being clear, that for the time being we're pretty stationary; I may have caused a bit of confusion the other day when I said that I was going down to the market. I quite literally meant me, going to the market and buying some meat from Stewart's Meats, not the piroshki stand. But it was great to see all of you so excited by the idea, maybe something we do in the future, we'll see. Here's the menu for today:

Baked Piroshki:

*Egg Green Onion
*Potato Onion
*Cabbage w/Smoked Hog Legs

Let's be the fool

Happy April Fool's Day! Here's something I gleaned from Wikipedia this morning "The Fool is the spirit in search of experience. He represents the mystical cleverness bereft of reason within us, the childlike ability to tune into the inner workings of the world." So let us venture off into this day with an openness we all can recall from childhood. Be the fool. And now onto our exciting menu for today. My goodness. So, for our soup we have homemade dumplings- pelmeni in a delicious beef broth, also, of course, homemade. So for all those who have been waiting to see pelmeni on our menu, here it is, in soup form. Also, there's this really exciting, super good and nutritious plant in season right now called Nettle (something I only discovered moving to the Pacific Northwest, but is popular in Russian cooking too). We are getting ours from the wonderful Calliope Farm and mixing it with Feta and stuffing them in our puff pastry. So come on by and try some. For the rest of the menu:

Baked Piroshki:

*Petit Feta Dill
*Petit Feta Nettle
