My husband's co-worker Fernando has been gone from the office here in Queens and working in Long Island for the past month. He told Parley upon his return that he had missed my home cooking and asked for lunch again with Parley this week. Today I made lunch for the guys. I decided to make a recipe I haven't made in several years, Polish pirogies. Last time I made them was with our friend's the Bailey's back in my full size kitchen in our house in California. I love this recipe because it is a comfort food. It has all the ingredients to make a down home meal.
My children and I shared this lunch with my husband and his friend/co-worker Fernando.
