The fun of meringue. It is so very versatile. I started out making the traditional mushrooms for the Buche de Noel. And that led to other things like bunnies to accompany the mushrooms. They are so damn cute. It's just sugar, of course with some egg whites. They are baked low and slow to avoid excessive color and so they are safe to eat. Hell, I eat egg white raw all the time and never get sick. But, to be safe, I am careful when I am cooking for other people.
Oh, the lovely pierogi. Most ethnic groups have their version of the pocket of dough wrapped around their favorite (or most accesible) filling. We Polish have the Pierogi. It is a light, yeastless dough that is gently rolled thin, cut, filled, sealed and boiled in water. Then I fry it in butter and serve it with sour cream. My choice for my 4 dozen pierogi is potato, bacon and cheddar. They alone should earn us Poles some respect.
