Give me an extra helping of Polish sausage, and you can have my share of the pumpkin pie ;-)<br /><br />Mason - this is a staple at our house for almost all holidays. And for leftovers, it can&#39;t be beat.<br /><br />Janel - the extra step is what seals it. Really. My husband never experienced the browning step before he met my family and he told me after our first holiday together that my mom&#39;s Polish sausage was the best he ever had. <br /><br />Cleo - ooh, pierogies! Another wonderful Polish food. We usually save those for Easter. Ham, sausage, sauerkraut, pierogies. I prefer the mushroom and sauerkraut filled versions over the cheese option. I&#39;ll have to talk about them more here in the Spring!<br /><br />JulieJulie Hyzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15601637878498393081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-58670735390354017812009-11-24T09:38:23.201-05:002009-11-24T09:38:23.201-05:00Julie - Growing up in Western PA, where many Eastern Europeans came to work in the steel mills (like my Italian dad), I had many Polish friends and neighbors so I am thrilled with your kielbasa post! Here in Queens, we frequent a small Polish store that sells imported Polish foods and fresh kielbasa. We usually fry it up with a load of onions but I&#39;m going to try your method. (I hit my forehead over the horseradish. Of course! This would be a wonderful way to serve!) And, boy, I&#39;m a sucker for pierogies, too. Thanks for a great post and...<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving!<br />~Cleo<br /><a href="http://www.coffeehousemystery.com/" rel="nofollow"> Coffeehouse Mystery.com</a><br />&quot;Where coffee and crime are always brewing...&quot;<br /><a href="http://www.twitter.com/cleocoyle/" rel="nofollow"> Cleo Coyle on Twitter</a>Cleo Coylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15557517506340986862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-18752489194889370952009-11-24T09:16:53.394-05:002009-11-24T09:16:53.394-05:00I&#39;m sure the extra step makes this really good.
