Maryland Community Counselor, Cynthia Chan, shared this great post from her Polish au pair Patrycja:
In preparation for Christmas, Patrycja, from Poland, currently residing in Southern Maryland, and her host dad spent all day making traditional Polish pierogi!
She said, “I wasn’t sure if we can actually do it since I’ve never made pierogi by myself before, but we did it!
‘Pierogi z kapustą kiszoną i pieczarkami’ one of the things Poland is most known for! (Sauerkraut and mushrooms)
My mom offered us her help (from Poland), so we had the greatest pierogi maker on our side 😁 We ended up with almost 100 pierogi
I am really really proud of us and I’m glad I could contribute to this Christmas with a little bit of my own culture!”
