First, I realized last week that I've been numbering the weeks wrong all season, and I have no idea how. I haven't skipped a single week!
Second, it's Sunday and I'm only just now getting to writing up last week's dinner. In my defense, it's been a crazy week: birthday stuff, teaching stuff, coaching stuff. Pretty much life conspired against me. Not my fault.
Finally, I was less than pleased with my dinner. I made crab pierogi, but I cheated. I used egg roll wrappers instead of making the dough. I would love to claim that I was too busy, but even if I had all the time in the world, I just don't see myself making dough. Ever.
The pierogi were stuffed with crab (from a can - no judging!), bell peppers, and scallions. As I was folding it all together, I realized I had onion & chive cream cheese in the fridge, so that went into the mix, too. I'm not sure it add anything, but it made the stuffing kind of hook together better.
The best parts of the dinner were made by Rob. He made a red pepper sauce and a beet and leek salad. Without the red pepper sauce, I think the pierogi would have been super bland. And apparently, beets and leeks are seasonal veggies for Pennsylvania, so they totally count.
I gotta run. I still have to shop for the most important game of the year: Bears @ Lambeau! Here's a hint - I made Rob go to D'amato's on Grand for the bread. Add bonus? He picked up pizza for lunch!
Later,
VA
