CJ is studying Europe in social studies class. The kids were put into groups and given a country to teach the rest of the 6th graders about. CJ's group is going to teach their peers about Poland. CJ chose to make pierogi for his part of the project. This morning we started out making the filling, mashed potatoes.
He peeled and chopped.
He mixed, tasted and declared them good.
Then, after a trip to the grocery store, it was time to make dough.

And fill them.
And eat them.
Some of the pierogi were really good. Others opened up in the boiling water which made for soggy mashed potatoes. So, we tried again and had a little more luck keeping them closed, but still many were waterlogged. We will have to do some research and try again.
