A Typical Mennonite Meal

                                                                                 Yes, Perogies and farmer sausage!

                                                                                                      Woo Hoo!
I've been wanting to write about 
these for awhile now. And here
they are steaming on my plate.

My Mom is known as the Perogie lady, she 

makes up to 60 - 90 dozen 

every day. Now that I'm a student and need money 

I've started helping her 

on Saturdays we always

have fun and Chris makes sure that I bring 

some of these home.

Since this is a Mennonite perogie, they are actually called Vereneke. The dough for Vereneke is much thinner than a perogie dough and is filled with cottage cheese. This meal is served with cream gravy called Schmoanfat, (made like a roux, and heavy cream is added) Farmer sausage and chow chow. I think I may be the only person who enjoys chow chow, it's a preserve made with green tomatoes and pickled onions.
