Wow, what a weekend we had! Saturday we went to the Alan Jackson concert and Sunday we went to an auto show *and* food festival at St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church in a nearby town. We ate so much I thought we would explode! We had stuffed holupki (cabbage), kielbasa & kraut, pirogi (meat pie), haluski (potato/cheese dumplings), and pigachi (cheese/potato bread).

The Sisterhood of St. Olga cooked all this food and served it to us in grand style! Of course they had cookbooks to sell and of course I bought one. ;^) This is all Slavic food. The introduction says the Church was organized in 1894 by Slovak immigrants who migrated from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Many came from Galacia and the Carpatho Mountains, which is now part of Slovakia.

Wherever they came from, these people know how to cook. I have never liked sauerkraut in my life. I was eating this marvelous sausage dish and asked my dh if he knew what it was. He looked at the menu and said "Uh, Honey, it's sauerkraut!" Guess I like sauerkraut cooked this way! The stuffed cabbage was absolutely wonderful too. I'll send that one in next. No scanner - hand typing this stuff in. Here's the kielbasa and kraut recipe.
