It started off as a bit of a joke. That Ania @aniainspain and I would pick a day to make pierogi at home and have a little online “competition”. And despite my Winnipeg roots, Ania definitely had the upper hand by being Polish and – as I found out later – in possession of a little contraption that cuts, folds and seals the dumplings resulting in pierogi perfection. Meh.
But I had heart and determination on my side and, even though I hadn’t made pierogi since I lived in Canada more than 40 years ago, and I had lost my favourite pierogi dough recipe, I was keen to do my best.

The evening appreciation applause continue around the country, and the other day I met Jeannie & Steve after they had put a banner out on their balcony celebrating their 50th anniversary (I ran to fill a wine glass and toast them too). Then I heard Jeannie saying something to her neighbour across the street and I thought… hmmm, definitely not Spanish! So the next evening after the applause I shouted hello to them and asked where they were from.
Turns out they are from Florida and got trapped here when the lockdown happened and, after their hotel was forced to close, were lucky enough to find temporary accomodation in my street. So we are now in touch on WhatsApp and Facebook and it’s lovely, this getting to know the neighbours thing. There’s a bright side to everything, isn’t there?
