It's Friday

Well, today is Friday. What to make to eat? Pierogi take time to make, so we go with grandma's other recipe for Fridays.
Here it is:

• 1 box of Farfalle (bow tie pasta) (1 lb)
• 1 small onion diced finely
• 1 eight ounce container of cottage cheese (low fat or regular)
• salt and pepper to taste
• margarine

In a large pot cook pasta as per directions on box. Drain. While pasta is cooking, melt about two Tablespoons of margarine or butter in a saute pan. Add and saute onion until transparent. Remove from heat. After pasta is drained, return to pot, add cooked onion and the cottage cheese. Mix together. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve with your favorite tuna fish salad, fish fillet, salad. Just enjoy. It's quick and easy and tastes pretty good, too.

In going through mom's stuff, I found a cookbook first printed in 1948. A Polish cookbook - it really is quite interesting. It lists a lot of different fillings for pierogi. Cheese with currants and cinnamon and sugar, cottage cheese with lemon juice, cabbage and mushroom, mushroom, sauerkraut, mushroom and meat, prune, ripe plum, fresh berries, cooked fruit, & apple. If anyone's interested in these other fillings, let me know and I'll print them.

I'll try and find more stories and recipes later. Have fun. Keep warm. We're supposed to get snow flurries again. The robins were out in the yard yesterday, now they need to go get their winter coats on again. Til the next sunrise.
