Pelmini dough that is! Suz posted last week on their family day dinner of Russian cuisine, and it got me hankering for a big bowl of pelmini. Making pelmini from scratch is a family affair, and you can count on completely destroying your kitchen in the process, but it is alot of fun. Because they are so labor intensive, we only make them once a year (in the fall or winter) and freeze several batches. The master tried to find some Tchaikovsky on the computer for our listening pleasure, but when his search proved fruitless, he settled for a you-tube of Ray Stevens, "Surfin' USSR." Ha, ha, now
that's cultural education at its finest. For those of you who have eaten real Russian pelmini, you can see that ours are not quite as dainty, but I assure you, they are as tasty!

MMMM...can taste them, almost! Do you have a secret recipe and serving suggestion? Would love a link for that!
Share the recipe! :) I've been looking for Ukranian/Russian recipes for our Christmas Eve dinner. This sounds like something I could make ahead of time - which is always a good thing on Christmas Eve! :)
