big perogies to fill

Attempted my very first Ukrainian Christmas supper last night. 12 meatless dishes. My Ukrainian Daughters' Cookbook specifies the number to be an even dozen; I have heard people say there ought to be 11, I have heard 13. For the want of a Baba - or an Auntie L. - to lay down the law, I'll go by the book on this one. The menu:

1) Perogies

2) Salmon

3) Haddock

4) Salad

5) Cabbage Rolls

6) Kutcha

7) Borcht

8) Garlic Cloves

9) Kapusta with Peas

10) Mashed Beans

11) Cottage Cheese

12) Blueberry Perogies

-------

Notes:

i) Need a better dough recipe for the perogies. Too thick.

ii) Gotta make my own cabbage rolls next year. Store bought kind are WAY too big.

iii) Kutcha needs less water, less poppy seed, and more honey.

iv) Borcht = yummy!

v) Kapusta = awesome!

vi) Mashed Beans quite bland, but I suppose non-Ukrainians need something to hang their hat on during a supper such as this.

vii) Cottage cheese? Does that really qualify as a dish? Yes. When there is only one cook in the kitchen, yes it does.

viii) Too full for Blueberry Perogies. Will eat them tonight.

ix) Need 13.5 more people around the table next year.

x) Define "meatless".
