This is for you, Krissy, since you asked...
This is what I made for dinner today...piggies, aka pigs in the blanket, aka golabki (Polish), aka halupki (Slovak), aka stuffed cabbage. For those of you who have no clue, it's a dish that consists of hamburger and rice mixture wrapped up and a cabbage leaf, then cooked in a tomato sauce. My mom showed me how to make them when I was about 14, and I try my damnest to carry on the tradition. =)
I had to make a double batch today, because the last time I made them, they lasted only one day. And that was with giving some the the mother-in-law. Hmm...something I make that she actually likes...is that possible??? lol. Anyway, they turned out good--so far I ate about 8 of them. Yummmm.
til next time...=)
Here in this part of PA we call them Halupki. That is their true Polish name.
ReplyDeleteWhen we say pig-in-the-blanket here we mean an entirely different thing. That is why I didn't know what you were having for dinner, Annie. Pig-in-the-blanket to me growing up was a hot dog wrapped in a biscuit, lol.
Speaking of Halupki, it is all the rage in this area of PA. There are a lot of Polish here. Halupki are sold at the church as fundraisers to make money for the school, the church, etc. I have often been nudged into trying to buy them, but I don't like ground beef that much. I guess I wouldn't make a good Polish person, lol.
Annie, I want to commend you on being such a good cook to make those. They look difficult to make.
