How to win with Bear Grylls

Surprise - it's not movie revew this time! It's survival's review - how to make pierogies (not dumplings, Polish "routhenian/russian pierogies". :)
I just moved in to another apartment in antother city in another country... And I forgot to pack lots of usefull stuff. I wouldn't be myself if I packed... Anyway. I don't have any grinder, roller and pan. And I made pierogies. :D

Firstly I'd like to introduce how I've started. I went to the store by my feet which was 2 km one way and 2 km back (it was easier to going back - more of my way was down the hill ;)). I've bought ingredients, which needed to sacrifice one of my beauty nails... :( but it's not so bad, only gel busted from one. Anyway, when I got home I had to repair that, so I used my favourite nail stickers, so every nail looks like others. (recommend, love this stickers!!!)

pic of my nails and very important mug - I was cutting circles using this one :)

When my nails were already repaired I could start with making pierogies. For first I boiled potatoes, when they got cool I grinded them by fork and knife. I add curd (white cheese), salt, pepper and... Nutmeg! Yeah, I've found it! In Czech store! I'm so happy cause in Poland I couldn't find it anywhere, dunno why. So I add that all,  mixed and stuffing was ready. Then I had to make dough (or how to call it - suggestions are welcome ;)). It's so easy to make it, cause recipe is so simple: only flour, water and oil. Proportions were measured by my eyes, so I don't know exactly. :) When it was ready, I started to make pierogies. :)

Yeah, my hand made pierogies ready to bury them in a fridge ;)

As I've written in an introduction I don't have roller, so I used hair spray bottle dressed in foil as a roller. As you can see it's good to have hair spray, I can recommend you Silhouette by Wella, any kind, 750ml. ;) 

Mess I had to clean up after pierogies-making

And for a dessert I'm linking video of great, gifted artist Elisete (!), I've just found her somewhere on YouTube and I'm very impressed.


Enjoy! :)
