Prairie things.

When I was in California last summer, I was informed of a startling fact.

They have no perogies.

Perogies. None. They're a staple around here. They have their own section in the frozen food aisle. Sometimes, they're even listed on the big signs hanging from the roof in the grocery story.

So, in this scientifically accurate poll, I want to know:

Do you have perogies?
Are they common, or have you only seen them once or twice?
- If the later, did you see them in your local, or were you traveling?
Do you have any clue what the hell I'm blathering about about?

My cousin's husband's mother is very Ukranian. She came down for Christmas once, and yum. Best perogies I've ever had. My mom's made them a time or two, but we usually rely on Mother Kathy's. Have you ever had apple sauce on perogies? My family always does -- I used to think that perogies with sour cream were weird -- but I'm told that's just us, and no one else.

Desert perogies in these parts are usually made from Saskatoon berries. But then, we make pretty much everything from Saskatoon berries.

-- I really want to go berry picking now. Stoopid city.

I've never had them with apple sauce, but that's just me. I'm sure you're very normal. ::snerk::

I suffer no delusions of normalcy.
