So far, the pierogie quest has taken me to Syrenka, The New Wave, and the freezer of Krakus Market. I really should write an update.

Haven’t yet tried the church in Northern Liberties (because of the noon-3 time) but would love to. I’ve only had good experiences with pierogies from church kitchens.

Ukranian pierogies?

I know this is way past due, but I had to bring it up.

Has anybody tried the pierogies that are homemade by the church in Northern Liberties and for sale every Thursday and Friday from noon to three? I keep seeing announcements everywhere, but haven’t actuall had one yet!

Yeah, Fishtown.us is a great resource.

For those who don’t know, Tacconelli’s is a pizza place in Port Richmond where you have to call ahead to reserve you dough. Some say it’s great, some say it’s just a gimmick, but one day I hope to find out for myself.

I can’t believe Fishtown has a website! Usually we head to that area to go to Tacconelli’s but maybe next trip will have to be for some pierogies.

Rickett would love to have a blog, but he can’t work the camera or the keyboard by himself.

I think Rickett the Hedgehog deserves his own website.

Tom, I spent the weekend in Ricketts Glenn State Park, about half an hour from Bloomsburg. As luck would have it, the last night of the fair was Saturday, so Wade Bloggs and I checked it out. Wade drowned his baseball sorrows in butter and onions.

Yoko, there are dessert pierogies on the menu of the Roxborough joint–I think blueberry is included.

Blueberry pierogies rock! Lipby hipped me to them a while back– there is a Polish grocery near his parents’ home in CT that makes all kinds of pierogies.

I had them fried in butter, but I imagine they’d be good with a dollop of whipped cream….

I can’t believe you got to hit the Bloomsburg Fair. I grew up in the town next door. And since I couldn’t drive up for it this year, my mom brought me some cider from the Fair over this past weekend.

True, the perogi are kick ass at the Fair…but for me it’s all about May’s Barbecue. Oh, ham barbecue, how I love you so.
