I grew up on pierogies but hadn’t had them in years. I stumbled on an ad for Mrs. T’s pierogies in Real Simple that featured this recipe (and a coupon – BONUS!). I had been looking for something different than a pasta or chicken dish and there it was – a great, new suggestion! This is not the first time Real Simple has seemingly read my mind, nor the last.
Now I wasn’t a huge fan of pierogies growing up. I especially wasn’t a fan of the sauted onions that almost always accompany them. But, I thought, tastes change, I want something different, give it a go.
Overall, the dish was okay. I liked the combination for the most part. I think what bothered me most was the lingering smell of the onions. I am desperate for tips on working with onion. First, they make your eyes water like nobody’s business. Then, they stink up the place for days. The smell tickles my gag reflex for days. I’ve tried airing the place out. Putting out loads of candles and air fresheners. Little to no success. I don’t want to just stop cooking with onions altogether, but I will if I can’t reach a resolution.
As for the watery eyes, I think Phil Dunphy has the right idea. I need to pick up a pair of these onion goggles.
I <3 Phil Dunphy. :)
teehee He’s the best. I think he just may be my favorite!
I need a pair of those pretty badly.
Yeah, especially after your ordeal working with all those onions for the latkes! You are brave, good sir. But then from the sounds of it latkes are worth it. I’ve never tried latkes but apparently I have got to get on that. Thet sound and look delicious!
