Sorry this is so out of focus but I wanted to say how my first bite of this dinner – pierogi with kasha and a big sigh on the onions and garlic caramelized in chicken fat, and sour cream that I had to get more of.
My grandparents on my mother’s side came to the US from the Ukraine during the pogroms of the early 1900s and this was Grandpa All Over.
My mother made dishes like this too although she very well might have added leftover chow mein because it was in the refrigerator and about to go bad.
