National Pierogi Day

National Pierogi Day is an annual feast celebrated on October 8th of every year. The foodie lovers precisely the dumpling fans can celebrate this food holiday. Taste the delicious semi-circular dumplings made of unleavened dough on National Pierogi Day to complete the celebration.

“It’s a good thing that dumplings are small because Lee Anne’s goodies will make your willpower vanish as you reach for ‘just one more.” – Roger Mooking

History of National Pierogi Day

The first National Pierogi Day was celebrated on 2009. The plural form of the rarely used Polish word pierog is Pierogi. Pierogi can be spelt in several ways like perogi or pierogy and is known as varenyky. Pierogi are filled dumplings made up of unleavened dough around a savoury or sweet filling. It is semicircular in shape, traditionally stuffed with a mashed potato filling, potato and onion, potato, and cheese, cabbage, cheese, sauerkraut, mushroom, ground meat, spinach or fruit. The dough will be first boiled, sometimes baked or fried in the butter. It has the Central and Eastern European origin. These dumplings are popular in Slavic, Baltic, and other Eastern European cuisines.

Pierogi is the national dish in Poland and Slovakia. The dumplings will be served with toppings. It includes melted butter, sour cream, fried onion, sauteed mushrooms, or combinations of those ingredients. The Eastern European immigrants popularized pierogi in the United States. Pierogi was a family food among the immigrants and found in ethnic restaurants. In the post-World War II era, ethnic churches made freshly cooked pierogi as a staple fundraiser. Americans typically consider pierogi as a side dish and in other countries, it is the main dish.

It's a shock to my eyes to put my new glasses on. My left eye especially protests loudly about the new lenses. So much noise for finally being given more help in its task. Ungrateful.

"Wow," I say. "This is so different."

"Yeah," says the shop assistant. "A lot of people say the ground seems to rise."

"Everything definitely looks bigger," I reply.

Back home, I switch a couple of times between my new glasses and my old ones to lessen the transition.

500 euros so I can finally read my favourite fanfiction authors again. AO3, here I come.

Another excellent wedding dress contender, suggested by @greenmirror:

"A 1930s brocade organza evening dress, of shot amethyst and gold, with square yoke neckline, a panelled bodice, long sleeves and a bias cut skirt with train." (x)

Fierce bustle about wedding-dress—Worth's—period gown in stiff gold brocade, long sleeves, square neck, off-the-face head-dress, no jewels except my long ear-rings that belonged to great-aunt Delagardie. (N.B.—Publisher must have come well up to scratch on new book.)

Mistigram: AdeptApril has taught us with this sketchy #ANSIart screen that today is World #Octopus Day! Tell me more of this World Octopus -- does it cradle the planet gently in its eight sacred tentacles? (Never mind, I seem to have confused it with the NROL-39 mascot!)

On this date in 1949, Rolla Primarda was struck by lightning and killed in his garden in Taranto, Italy. Both his father and grandfather had also been killed by Lightning strikes in the exact same place.

One of the many reasons that the 1920s through the 1950s was the "Golden Age" of New York is that it had three major league ballclubs, all fierce rivals. The Yankees were the emperors of the diamond, the Dodgers were the scrappy underdogs, the Giants were ... well, I'm not sure what they were.

A highlight (or lowlight, depending on your point of view) came on October 8, 1956, when the Dodgers, the 1955 World Champs, faced the Yanks in the World Series once again and were not only shut out, but had the only perfect game in Series history thrown against them by Don Larsen. The scoreboard tells the story. 27 up, 27 down. No hits, no walks, no errors. no runs.
