P = Pierogi

My moms side of the family has this tradition every Good Friday before Easter Sunday.  My aunt Suzy, my Nana, my Nana's friend Kathy, my mom and my sister all go to Suzy's house to cook for Easter dinner at my grandmas. Suzy makes the dough, I roll the dough, and everyone helps out filling the dough with sauerkraut and potatoes. I help my sister dye eggs and write everyone's names on them with the clear crayon. After using all the dough we can to make circles for the pierogis, we roll the extra dough, and fry them with butter. My great grandpa called them "babici" (best spelling I could think of, pronounced bah-bike-ee). They're delicious. One of the best parts of this day is when my grandma wears her apron that says "got pierogi?" and I wear my grandpas hat that says "You bet your dupa I'm Ukranian". My grandpa is 100% Ukranian and my grandma is 50% Ukranian and 50% Italian, so that's why we have this tradition with Easter and pierogis. It all started way back when. (Also, I was happy that my letter was P because it's the first thing I thought of.)
