It is my secret shame that although I am very Polish I have never had Peirogi. 

Gramma don't cook no more. 

I have had empanada at my MIL's house, tho, and I can do that just fine. 

What, they don't have frozen Mrs. Smiths in your crazy NC supermarkets? Buy a box and boil them sumbitches up.

I'll eat pierogi pan-fried but I actually prefer them boiled. Luckily it's also healthier this way, which is unusual.

"healthier" being a relative term. 

Potato chips fried in sunflower oil are healthier than chips fried in palm kernel oil.  So go ahead and eat the whole goddamn bag!

Let me check to see if they have them in the grocery store first.  But don't get your hopes up.  We can't even get real keilbasa here -- all they've got is that stank-ass Hillshire Farms crap.  Which Pedro's grandmother once presented to me, microwaved in a paper towel, as "Real Polish Ki-bassy!"

Friends don't let friends buy meat in the grocery store.

GET YOU TO A MEAT STORE!

Also, if Kielbasi is a problem, seeing as how I live in an extremely Polish part of the world (still Polka Bands at parties here!) so there are actual Polish meat shops, which is the YUM plus, almost every Catholic church has old ladies making handmade pierogies for sale to raise money. Not to mention homemade pierogies at the Friday night giraffe fry during lent.

Man I'm glad I moved back just for that.

Yeah, we smuggle kielbasa across the border when we go visit my brother in Toledo.  Nothing like J&G's House of Meats for some good ol' fashioned sausage goodness.

Man, I am ALWAYS being accused of smuggling kielbasa. I can't figure it out.

Better that than be accused of smuggling Vienna sausage.

OK, empanadas gets you back on the huuuuuugs list.

I occasionally yell out at Family "They're not just for Christmas!!!"

Why would Empanadas be a Christmas food??

They are yummy. But my grandma always puts weird things in them, I like really basic ones. In Chile we went to this famous empanada place where they only make cheese empanadas... they were amazing.

and then I realize that that is because my grandma is here at that time. OOPS!
