Happy Friday...Weekend My Grandmother's Piroski's

Isn't this adorably cute....
I thought so when I found it last nite surfing the web...
Makes me want to run home and put them in my garden...
Though I'm not truly excited about Mice living in my house...
Only if it could be just like this...
Well my dear blogger friends it's Friday and I have to take Mom to the  Dr.s today...Vee is gone off to a friends for the weekend.  Seems she never stays home.  She just informed me that she will be moving out again soon.. This girl drives me crazy and makes my life so difficult.  But any ways I'm not going to dwell on her!!!
I don't know whether to stay home alone this weekend or come back to Mom's house... I really rather be home, but  alone is so difficult for me.     

Well I suppose I will decide later on after I take Mom....What will you been doing this weekend...??? I thought today I will share some things with you that I made when I was home...
 These are another version of Piroski that my Grandmother used to make for us..Instead of meat it's fruit.  She used Pineapple and Apricots but I didn't have that so Mom said Blueberries and Pears would be fine...they came out wonderful...I also did the meat version as well... I had been looking for her recipe for years.. Mom seemed to have lost it in the shuffle of things..
Before I baked them..I tried to remember how my Grandma did it..I think this was close...
 Mixing the dough up...
 In the bowl to rise ...
 Rolling the circles out ...
Filled with meat and cabbage, onions and sealed and off the to the oven...

 Just the way my Grandma made them, most folks fry them.. She never did she baked them up in the oven and brushed them with butter and milk.  
The only thing I think I needed to fill them more..I only made a few because I didn't know how they were going to work... I'm so excited that I found and figured this out...It's been a lot of yearsMy Grandma Mary passed away when I was around 15,16 I believe... and I had a passion to learn some of my Russian Heritage... My Great Grandmother came straight from Russian she died the year I was born so I never learn nothing from her.  Only my two brother knew her...
But I was told she spoke only Russian and cooked a lot of things which my Grandmother Mary didn't pick up.
But this one thing she did.
  I'm ever so glad she did, otherwise I would'nt have had the privilege to know anything ... I served up one fruit one with some tea... and o my it was just wonderful the lovely memories of my grandmother came pouring out across my mind into my heart and I could see her with her apron preparing them and putting them off into the oven brushing them with the melted butter and milk...
The best memory in my heart...To me they are heaven and taste the best...

  Thank you Grandma Mary...
Wishing you all a wonderfully blessed weekend
with love Janice

  1. Hi Janice, I didn't realize you were dealing with another move out. I don't know how you do it.
    Your post is beautiful. You put a great deal of time in your blog and I appreciate it so much.
    You must have loved your grandma....mine never baked or did much cooking. Neither enjoyed being a grandmother and I just think that is so sad.
    I'll be thinking about you.
    Love,
    Linda

  3. Janice, Your Piroskis look so yummy! I've had Bierocks (that's the German version) and Runzas (the Nebraska version). My daughter is dating a young man from Russia and sometimes his mother makes them when they come by for dinner.

  7. I know I could eat a plate full of the savoury ones, but probably only one of the sweet ones.
