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 :)

Baked Piroshki:

*Egg Green Onion
*Potato Onion
*Cabbage w/ Sausage
*Potato Maple Bacon
*Cabbage Mushroom
*Franks in A Blanket

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
*Potato Maple Bacon
*Cabbage Mushroom

Deep-fried Pirsohki:

*Beef Onion
*Potato Onion

Soup:

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
*Potato Onion
*Beef Onion in Puff Pastry
*Potato Maple Bacon
