Not so seamless

I extend my most sincerest apologies to whoever may have discovered bacon in their potato onion piroshki yesterday. There was a bit of confusion in the afternoon when we were serving up the potato onion piroshki. You see, the difference between the two is a simple seam in the dough. In my mind the one with a seam has bacon and the one without doesn't, but yet once again reality wins the game of life. But, worry not! Because after such a shockingly large mistake we are sure to not commit another one of this magnitude for at least another ten years :)
Anyone who did have bacon in their piroshki and did not want it there, come back and we'll give you a potato onion or whichever other one you would like. Speaking of which here is our menu for today:

Delightful Piroshki-

Egg Green Onion
Cabbage Sausage
Cabbage
Potato Onion
Potato Maple Bacon
Beef Onion

And for soup- Borscht!

Yum, yum, yum!

Let's start the week off organically

And we're off! To another wonderful week at the piroshki stand. So what do we have in the kitchen today?

Piroshki:
Potato onion
Potato maple bacon
Beef onion
Eggs w/ green onions
Cabbage
Cabbage sausage

Soup:
Porcini spinach

All the produce comes from Organically Grown Northwest. The meats from our local butchers at Stewart's Meats. The eggs are organic Stieber Farms eggies. And the dough is made with the very awesome Shepard's Grain flour. Keep your eyes open for all the farm info on our soon to be updated website. Til then, come eat some delicious Russian food.

Our First Saturday

Really when I say I can't believe that we've been open for a week, I quite literally mean I can't believe it. The buzz throughout the town is growing and I'm so excited about how stoked people are. My heart melted a bit after reading the review we got from Puck on yelp.com.

There is just so much to be done and I have so many ideas (some of my own, some contributed by Oly Piroshki fans). I can't wait for tomorrow, when I can sit down with a notebook and a cup of coffee and get to making a plan of action to make those ideas a reality. From spring menus to making up dessert pastries to interior decorations and so, so much more.

For today, we'll focus in on the cooking. Out of the kitchen shall come magical delights. Back by popular demand we have green apple pear compote for a tasty beverage. Also, people really enjoyed the yam cilantro piroshki, so those will make another appearance throughout the day. We will also have our most popular beef onion, potato maple bacon, potato onion, and beef cheddar piroshki. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. The huge treat though will be the soup, which is a split pea with Stewart Meats hog legs. Absolutely amazing. You can really taste the local.

So grab a friend and come on by.

Late starts and new foods

This morning my alarm decided to let me sleep in a bit and apparently the same rang (or perhaps didn't ring) true for our wonderful dough maker. But nothing to fear we will have delicious piroshki by 11am. And what a menu! Two soups: rustic russian chicken noodle and our homemade borscht. We're also trying out some new piroshki. To start the day there will be cabbage with maple bacon and a simple scrumptious cabbage one for the vegeterians. Later we will have yam cilantro piroshki . Also we will have our classic beef onion plus the newer beef cheddar will make a return appearance. Well, I better get going, hope to see ya'll soon!

Is it Thursday?

Thursday in Russian: четверг (pronounced chetverg). Just a bit of Russian for everyone today, just in case it comes up. Well, the reason I'm stuck on it being Thursday is how quickly time is moving.

Today we are going to do something new: we are going to try making a beef with cheese piroshki (but only a few). My mother and I are currently trying to figure out what the perfect cheese for such a piroshki. For now, we will play around with white cheddar. The piroshki: potato bacon, potato onion, beef onion, and a bit of beef cheddar. Oh and the soup: borscht! It is sure to go quickly, so come grab it while its hot.

Winter Foods

Day 2: We are cooking up some more piroshki. So far, so good. We had a handful of people come by yesterday and everyone who did was super happy with our delicious food. Today we will have the hit specials: beef onion piroshki, mushroom potato piroshki, and cabbage mushroom soup. Also, the green apple pear compote is absolutely delightful. Hope to see you there!

Getting down to business

Today's food shall be made from scratch and with local ingredients.... as usual :) The start of our regular Tuesday- Saturday, 11am-6pm schedule, begins today at 11am. The piroshki for today are: potato and mushroom, potato and maple bacon, potato and onion, and beef with onion. The soup is a tasty mushroom cabbage.

Last night, my mother and I stayed up forever in order to make sure all was just right for today and the baker (who I haven't asked permission to disclose their identity) came in just as we were leaving at 4am to continue the rightness ensuring process.

My mother and I did have a bit of a scare last night when there was a knock on our door at 1am. It was after all, a very loud and forceful knock at 1am. But, no worries, it was simply the police department wondering why there was a car where there usually wasn't one. After a brief explanation of our nocturnal behaviors, they took off.

All our prep came unimpeded thereafter and the food will surely be delicious today.
