Mondays shmondays.

Felt a bit crazy today.

But it was again too hot to take you guys to the park, and we're not all that recovered yet to go swimming so soon. Which we better hurry up - before it's not hot anymore Heheh.

I made pirozhki, fried ones. They were PERFECT. Almost.
Looked perfect at any rate.
But Fattening oh my goodness so fattening.
Brent downed a ton, Duke got a ton, daddy didn't like them cause he's boo boo head?

Recipe as follows: (slightly modified from one in allrecipes)
  • 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • dried dill
  • dried parsley
  • 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cups oil for frying

Basically I cooked the meat, then added chopped onions and cooked it incredibly long time, seasoned it properly.

Meanwhile I had the dough raising - I only waited for it to raise a little bit - then started dipping little pieces of it in flour and working them into small flat pancakes. Adding delicious stuffing and sealing it to look like a potsticker. Then pop into hot oil and fry. I don't have a temperature gauge for all my frying needs - so I simply set the stove burner to 4. It's not too high, not too low. Then fried each thing on three - four sides as I was able.

Came out really good. Especially with sour cream. Woot..


Daddy and Brent went for a bike ride with the dogs later that night. Brent had nothing but pirozhki actually - but it wasn't all that bad.

We also had a short playdate with our neighbor Macy - and her big brother ate a ton of the pirozhki as well.
