Get tree tonight! Setup tree tomorrow and decorate. Thats it!!

I'd highly recommend you take one of these out for a day, insert my picture into this typical pitchpole and that was how I fractured my rib out in front of the Divi All Inclusive. Snapped like a twig on a hard sneeze two days after getting back.

hunt and football

Did some Christmas shopping tonight (against my will), hitting the woods with my son for a few hours in the morning. Bruins with my wife and son tomorrow at 1. Working Sunday....vacation comes to an end.

Meeting up with family to make 300+ pierogi from scratch for Christmas.

Pete, I'm salivating - what do you stuff the pierogi with? Busy with odds and ends around the house today. My son invited me to the Pats' game tomorrow.

Heading home to rally the family...mother isn't doing well.

Ripping lips off pollack and redfish 3 and 4 at a time Sunday! Hopefully a beagel will show.

My pierogi making skills are low, as are those of my cousins. My aunts and grandmother are the masters (all Polish immigrants... I am first generation US born) , and this is second year of trying to be involved in the process/tradition. They are brutally critical of us like a sports coach, but its for our own good... undeserved praise only reinforces sub-par performance.

We make several types: Potato and cheese, cabbage, and blue berry,
But my all time favorite is still the potato and cheese.

Later on throw it in a buttered pan with some sautéed onion, lightly browned,
and served with sour cream.

When my parents generation of relatives host an event, its homemade traditional delicious Polish food...
When my cousins and siblings generation hosts an event, its store bought wings, veggie platters, chips, frozen shrimp rings,
And THAT'S the reason we are trying to learn... to carry on traditions, you have to learn them... otherwise they are lost.

We worked from 9 am - 6pm and made over 500. sounds like a lot, but my family is big, and Christmas eve is no joke.

Just woke up in a friends condo at Burke Mountain VT, day two of the VT beer and wine trail. Hit Whetstone in Brattleboro and Harpoon.

Any homemade horseradish? I remember the days of old when my family had all that stuff home made, i lost contact with them as a young child but i still remember the smells and foods /drool

Definitely horseradish! My father used to make my brother, sister and i shred it in the basement in a giant barrell. I recall wearing ski goggles with tears from the horseradish running down my face!
Looking back, all the stuff that i hated doing as a kid are now somehow some ofmy favorite memories.

Also, spearing giant eels in the south county salt ponds in a tin boat at night as a 10 year old with my father, then smoking them at my uncles house. Smoked eels are a delicacy!
